Franken Mod : Seiko SKX007J1 Planet Ocean

Readers might remember the mod entry on this 2018 Seiko SKX007J1 Planet Oceanhttps://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2018/12/mod-works-seiko-planet-ocean-skx007.html. This watch had in December 2018 received the following parts :
  • Dagaz Planet Ocean dial;
  • Dagaz Planet Ocean full hands set;
  • Dagaz Planet Ocean bezel insert;
  • Dagaz chapter ring;
  • Dagaz sapphire crystal;
  • Dagaz coin edge bezel.
The transformation was incomplete then, pending the delivery of this final upgrade : 
  • Planet Ocean-style bracelet. 
After a month now, the bracelet has arrived to Malaysia and the Seiko SKX007J1's transformation into a Planet Ocean was complete.

What do you think- does it looked like Swiss' Omega Planet Ocean's brother from Japan?





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









Cost of the watch and parts would amount to RM2,004, plus watchmanship of RM300; so total invested into this piece amounted to RM2,304. However, just take a look at the final piece and it's all worth it.

Now that this Planet Ocean project is over, I would be looking at other Seiko watches for my Franken Mod series. This has been a one of a kind and a head-turner amongst Seiko enthusiasts; and there'll be more Franken Mod to come!
