[@richardgriffiths4531]

Great job! Looks amazing! Big improvement from the stock one

[@ciresolstice]

Of course, ceramic insert and sapphire crystal is a step up and better...but looks-wise IMO I wouldn't say it looks better(subjective), it's just different than the stock build and I like both! Looks really nice! cool mod. SUBSCRIBED!

[@gren509]

I think it's a superb mod !! So much more impact and class than the basic model.

[@MrTw2009]

That moded watch looks fantastic!!

[@bladeduffer]

Nice. I'm with those saying that it doesn't really look better but it does look different. Now, having said that I wouldn't mind these mods myself but out of the box, the SRPD79 is easily one of the best looking watches made.

[@sleepinglysithia]

Beautiful mod! I put a coin edge bezel and silver YM bezel insert on my Orient blue Ray 2 and it looks really nice.

[@svkwatches]

Need to try some orient mods!

[@sleepinglysithia]

@@svkwatches Definitely. Aftermarket parts are a bit scarce compared to aftermarket Seiko parts but there are still plenty available.

[@asds2719]

Отличная работа 👍

[@vash8107]

Aside from the improvements on the crystal, I think I like more the original one the the modified, the original one looks manly, the modified one looks great but I think more on the teenager like side..

[@jamm0tube]

Where can you get just that strap in all back with the clip in black?

[@richsparks8818]

Great mod! Which bezel did you use? In what finish? A description of which parts used would be so helpful if you listed them. Thanks!

[@svkwatches]

Hi there. This ones on a matte black PVD coin edge bezel - was from namokiMODS. I think I mention the parts in the video too. The inserts I suggest getting from dlw watches - they have the best finish (YM Black Ceramic), they have the strap and all parts for this style. I have since made a few more I’ll be sharing soon!

[@retrostu1]

In my opinion, that is how that watch should have looked straight out of Seiko. Lovely mod!

[@svkwatches]

Thanks, of course I agree, I guess they are trying very hard to offer many options with the new 5 sports line but have to still keep to the $200 or so range, for now I'm pleased to be able to mod them!

[@voltgaming2213]

Yikes looks like cheap

[@pananis]

Very nice looking mod here. Where can I get that amazing rubber strap for my Seiko 5 ?

[@svkwatches]

[@wastelandviking4547]

love the video..both watches look fantastic. the one question i have (as a relatively new watch enthusiast ) can you make it so that this watch has a screw down crown when you are going through the mods that are available?

[@svkwatches]

Thanks! Yes it’s possible to change the case to a screw down crown too, I’ve done this here for example: svkwatches.ae/products/srpd79-blackout-sub-built-to-order?_pos=1&_sid=81ee253e1&_ss=r it just adds some cost for the case swap too, you can choose any case shape/design then too

[@museick706]

Yooo this channel is sick! I have 3 5kx’s!! Where did you get the parts again ??

[@svkwatches]

Thanks! Mostly www.dlwwatches.com, www.namokiMODS.com and www.watchandstyle.net I have a video on 3 new Kermit mods dropping today, keep a look out for it!

[@museick706]

@@svkwatches beautiful brother! New channel to binge watch! Keep it up!!! We out here and we appreciate you!

[@jackdefraction3544]

Great video - I have just bought a seiko 5 and looking to get in to the world of modding. Are there any things you'd recommend to someone just starting?

[@svkwatches]

Start with a cheap watch like an eBay skx, I’ll be doing a video on a full mod process for one of those soon as i get asked this a lot, buy a cheap toolkit of amazon and don’t get annoyed if you mess the first few up, I’ve learnt a lot in the last year doing it and still learning. Very rewarding hobby so stick at it!

[@iburiedpaul9544]

Hi there! is that a “No Bevel Edge” double dome? And also will the YM inset fit the standard SRPD bezel?? Thanks!

[@svkwatches]

Hi, yes and yes!

[@user9675]

both look nice, original works better for smaller wrist and looks more vintage/rugged. mod looks more sporty/modern.

[@svkwatches]

Yeah agree, the rubber strap and double dome make the watch wear bigger for sure.

[@kennisrogers2585]

Wow awesome video and channel! Liked and subbed :) is it difficult replacing these pieces?

[@svkwatches]

It’s not so hard once you’ve done a few, just need the right kit

[@bvhdv]

Is there a way to mod the dial to have more lume? I want to keep the same black stealth style but with improved lume

[@svkwatches]

No, but I have done some similar options with skx007 dials instead for that very reason - check them out on my Instagram: @seikomodsdubai

[@osiris5315]

That mod looks SWEET! Wish I could do it myself. Are there any shops that sell it like that?

[@svkwatches]

You’re welcome to order one from me directly!

[@masoodmannan2818]

If I was stopping over in Dubai would I be able to pick up one up from you?

[@svkwatches]

@@masoodmannan2818 yes of course, let me know on my Instagram @seikomodsdubai

I would like to purchase this exact custom Seiko 5 sport black out!!

[@svkwatches]

Hi, you can find the link to my site here: svkwatches.ae/products/copy-of-srpd79-blackout-orange-built-to-order?_pos=4&_sid=cdd01b5f7&_ss=r

[@karbonkevin919]

What crystal gasket did u use for ur seiko crystal gasket?

[@svkwatches]

I used the one from the original watch, but if you need a spare you can get the SEPD/5KX gaskets from Namoki, they are a bit thicker than the regular SKX007 size

[@Fernando31ish]

I’m definitely interested just with a black steel bracelet. How do I contact you? I want the bezel, sapphire crystal just not the same rubber bracelet. Just purchased the watch so I should have by tmrw. 🍻

[@svkwatches]

You can get a black bracelet from Namoki Mods or Strapcode, I’d be happy to sort it in dubai, best contact me on Instagram @seikomodsdubai

[@joe2870]

I prefer the bezel on the original

[@avalher]

Is that a double dome crystal with bevel or no bevel?

[@svkwatches]

No bevel, there is a tiny bevel edge but it’s right up to to the insert so not really visible - crystal from either dlw or Namoki work well with this mod

[@davidbrown9132]

skx parts from namoki fit on srpd watches then ?

[@svkwatches]

Yes they do

[@Paidonthedaily]

so how easy is it to change out the crystal? invoiced when buying the bezel, on Namoki. they say change the crystal otherwise there will be a gap. that true?

[@svkwatches]

Yes for a sloped insert you need a double dome crystal - it won’t look right without it

[@Paidonthedaily]

@@svkwatches thank you

[@aaronabelachelseafc]

Is it possible to post the parts you used ? I had ordered an insert and a bezel from namoki mods for that model but the watch repairer stated that the bezel doesn't fit with that watch. Can you post the exact parts you bought from namoki mods? I'll promise to subscribe if you do.

[@svkwatches]

As long as it’s a skx007 bezel you ordered it will fit - what he might mean is that the bezel insert won’t fit the standard, flat crystal. You’ll need a double dome sapphire (no bevel edge) do match the sloping bezel insert. Aside from that it’s about it

[@davidjoseph921]

Is there a difference between SRPD79 and SRPD79K1?

[@svkwatches]

It’s the same watch. There is a Japan version called the SBSA025 I believe but I don’t think there’s any difference apart from the day wheel text

[@mervynhosking4970]

Could've done a lume shot in the dark , even a still shot !

[@PGlll]

Hello, I'd like to have this exact mod done. Can you help?

[@svkwatches]

Yea sure you can order it here from me personally: svkwatches.ae/products/copy-of-srpd79-blackout-orange-built-to-order?_pos=1&_sid=80ecd8383&_ss=r

[@chefduane3742]

Can one purchase from you an already modded SRPD79? Could one get a deployant clasp with a rubber strap?

[@svkwatches]

Yes of course, here is the link to that exact watch from the video on my website, you can request a cut-to-length rubber deployant strap too: svkwatches.ae/products/copy-of-srpd79-blackout-orange-built-to-order?_pos=4&_sid=aab09ea12&_ss=r

[@chefduane3742]

@@svkwatches So I used your example as an inspiration and modded mine with a similar bezel insert but used a flat AR sapphire crystal with a day-date magnifier (old eyes). I also put a sailcloth strap with a deployant clasp on it. Interesting though that my display case back does not say "Made in China" on it. Perhaps because I bought it in the States? Don't know.

SUBLIME.

[@AudioFlat]

You say you wouldn’t recommend this watch for diving - but nobody would anyway because it’s not sufficiently waterproof - none of the 5 series are.

[@giokashiashvili2349]

stock looks better actually

[@cturley82]

As a PADI Open Water Mixed Gas Certified Diver, I disagree. You could dive with this and the visibility would be just fine in open water situations. If you’ve never been 40-50 feet below the surf, you don’t know how bright it still is underwater (salt water). Now would I go 100 feet down with this, no, but a drift dive or shallow entry dive, yes, you’d be fine. The bigger question is “are you comfortable diving without a screw down crown?” - I’ve dived with my submariner and the screw down crown makes for a very safe choice…granted you’re talking $335 oops vs a $10,000 holy Fukk should something go wrong on the bottom.

[@svkwatches]

Nice insight Christian, thanks! I’m no diver but when it’s hard to read the time in low light on the ground, I thought it’d be harder underwater

[@meccaspy]

Feiko?!
