Further to the Franken Mod Seiko SKX007J1 Planet Ocean @ https://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2019/01/franken-mod-seiko-skx007j1-planet-ocean.html earlier, readers might also recalled the Franken Mod Seiko SuMMo @ https://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2019/01/franken-mod-seiko-summo.html.

The next Franken Mod Seiko SKX007J1 would utilise 2 leftover parts from the Seiko SuMMo, namely the following :

• Seiko SBDC031 dial;
• Seiko SBDC031 full hands set.

Other parts that were purchased for the transformation included the following :

• Seiko NH35A movement;
• Aftermarket MM300 ceramic bezel.
• Aftermarket sapphire crystal.

If you wished to commission the same transformation and upgrade, you would need to procure the following :

Cost of the watch and parts would amount to RM2,045, plus workmanship of RM300; so total invested in this piece amounted to RM2,345. However, just take a look at the final resulting piece and it's a worth it.

A Franken Mod Sumo that looked like a standard Sumo, but so much smaller! Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
