39mm fits well too

Been awhile

Edox for today, underrated watch brand.

Better build then Mido and often with discount, is below $1k.

Read HWZ Forum Rules!

Bought back the Casio Oak - went for this one cos it was discontinued. Like the positive display. Swearing off all negative displays from now on.

39mm fits well too

bought this watch (my first AP) more than 15 years ago for around 17k i think..
sold a few years later for 11-13k cant remember haha..
think price now should be 30-40+k or more??

Hello I am new here,

can I ask if H2HUB is a reputable company for modding??
I am looking to buy a Seiko SRPE53 and I want to upgrade the crystal to sapphire,

but since I am new to watches entirely and have no idea who is good at modding, I am concerned.

Questions such as :

• Does the watch retain its original waterproofing capabilities after the mod?
• Who are the reputable mod service providers in Singapore??

then as I was exploring their website, I saw a mod that really took my breath away

sibei chio sia.....

But I don't know if H2HUB is reputable for modding or not
any advice would be appreciated

PS: I am conflicted between two watches. Originally wanted to wait for the PRX Powermatic 80, but then too ex and also i think the dial is too simplistic, also its lug-to-lug is quite big might not fit my small wrist (6.2 inches)

Waterproofing unlikely to be affected. Seiko 5 are mass production watches, there is no fine watchmaking to be careful of.

hey thanks for your reply.
nah I was asking for knowledge

I mean even for cheap Seiko, SKX007, etc. are ISO certified Diver watches with proper waterproofing.
I just want to know (for my knowledge) if there are modders who have workmanship and skills to maintain that even after opening up a watch

also any reviews on H2HUB??? haha

On K2 : someone mentioned the uncle will give attitude leh. Is it true ?

on H2HUB: ya I also didn’t know they do modding until I saw it on their website today. Apparently they do. But no one here seems to have experience with them.

not diving with the watch
But kinda want the watch to have its original capabilities. Just being anal

Yes waterproofing is quite simple really, for a new watch as long as they put the gasket back the same way they opened it, it's unlikely to be affected.

This Seiko Modding is a new service that H2 Hub does, hence i think fewer people may have experience with them. K2 has been modding Seiko for years, also his main bread and butter is repairing and servicing Seikos so 100% he'll do very well to take care of your watch.

Will he have new parts avail for modding or do I have to buy myself and give him?

(If need to buy myself I might as well save the hassle and all-in let the more untested H2HUB do for me since they outrightly put guarantee waterproofing with testing)

The seiko I’m looking to buy is cheap though. Wonder if I will get judged for it

I think their modding is only recently then started doing de. I just bought one of their rootbeer mods also quite solid so far they use double domed sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. I think not bad la everything they gaotim for you no need to source for parts and DIY. They claim got 1 year warranty also ah that's why I bought also.

Thanks for the information!!!

last question, for sapphire glass, is his flat or double barrel (spherical on both sides, sorry don’t know the right terms)

I believe he has both, not entirely sure.

Wah awesome!!!

finally got people with experience with them!!!

ok makes me feel safer.

On another note
Now I wonder the SKX007 I buy from them (two years ago) supposedly brand new, is it really brand new

Monday blues..

This one looks not bad tbh.
But feels like more of a “picnic” watch.

I now want all in one watch.
maybe when I rich can have whole collection then buy
