Project CuSn MM300 : Pictures Galore

CuSn meant Bronze, so this was really the bronze MM300 project as written @ http://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2019/06/franken-mod-cusn-mm300.html. Pursuant to the blog entry, many readers had asked me for more pictures of the piece and fellow collectors requested that I bring this piece to our watch meets. It had proved to be a very popular piece indeed!

And nope, the Seiko box and warranty card above were used as accessories for the pictures only. You can't walk into a Seiko boutique and buy this Franken Mod.

Many modders had been playing with CuSn cases; but modding the genuine MM300 dial and handset  into the CuSn homage case proved to be a bit of a challenge- especially if you were to do so tastefully and in the process, a suitable chapter ring had to be engineered from scratch. I'm glad that we had overcame that obstacle.

Breakdown of the Project included the following :

Movement : Seiko Caliber NH35

Dial : Seiko MM300 SBDX017

Handset : Seiko MM300 SBDX017

Crystal : Sapphire

Bezel insert : Lumed ceramic
Case : CuSn monoblock
Caseback : Stainless steel

I had since matched this CuSn MM300 with an orange Isofrane strap, and hope readers would enjoy the rest of the eye-candy below :

And don't bother asking me to re-create this CuSn MM300 Franken Mod for you. I have asked and even the manufacturer of the case that took on this Project CuSn MM300 reverted that they would not take on this project anymore. It was that tedious to get the whole package working beautifully like this!

So this would simply be our one-of-a-kind for the interim period!
