Pretty disappointing overall since everyone knows how huge the markups are in the watch world.
That is what they told me as well.

That's total bullshit. I won't be going back.

To the Internet for me!

Been rockin my new beater 007 mod...on NATO for the weekend. Love the look for the money even though I've already managed to scuff the bezel insert.

Thanks Al. I bought a new 007 to mod but then came across this well modded one and couldn't pass it up.

Nice mods!

Do you know where the previous owner got the mods? I like the crown.

Jonathan Koch (mr seiko/swedefreak) did the mods. He custom milled/painted the crown, and matched the second hand on this one. The hands are from yobokies and I am not positive where the PO bezel insert or domed crystal came from.

Perhaps a guest contribution in the near future? I've been "field" testing watches all weekend in NY in a different kind of way. You need something "unbreakable" to put to the test.

You let me know brother. I am in Tulsa when I am back in the States, so St. Louis isn't that far of a drive. I will gladly test whatever you guys want, and with a little guidance from you, provide a write up and pics as well.
