My Final Set Of SKX Mods! NH36, Sapphire, and LUUUUUME!

The second I saw Jody with makeup I had to pause the video and give it a like

[@jmmartin7766]

But not tooooo much of a like, right?

[@NotThatOneThisOne]

I take it that "give it a like" is a euphemism?

Same here XD

How can you tell a Seiko's been modified? Everything lines up!!! 💋 Bold intro!!

[@LorenzoC36]

Akin to a child growing up, Seiko just isn't the same anymore. This is Jody's equivalent of teaching his son all the tricks to being the best his can be one last time.

We are the Mods, we are the Mods, we are we are, we are the MODS. Great job, looks Fab !

I’m super impressed. What’s fun way to get into watchmaking. Kind of like changing the oil on a car. Truly super impressive 101 Workshop!

A Funeral for a Watch....fantastic Jody......

[@christopherjensen5007]

That intro was a classic! That was so funny! Thank you for making my day!

[@arcangelo210]

Dude I took a vow of silence from leaving comments but after watching your video, I am obligated to leave a comment. You have obliterated the youtube watch community!!!! Tgv is a dust in the wind!!!!!! YOU F-ING ROCK!!!!!!!!!

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Ha! Thanks for making the exception for me.

[@robertlindo8058]

The world is a brighter place with Jody in it.

[@khronokraze]

Looks great. Well done. One quick note about checking the movement with hands off to see if date and day are aligned and moving correctly.. you don't know if the movement is in the danger zone between 9pm and 3am. Should not adjust date and day if you don't know. I might suggest pulling crown out all the way and advance the hands and see when the date and day change over. Then give it a fair number of advance winds to be sure you clear the danger time zone to further check the day date alignment and movement. That's what I do cause I wouldn't want to risk messing up a brand new movement before the mod project is all assembled and done.

[@adamdorney5143]

Brilliant mod. Really love the end result. Good to see the old 009 still kicking on

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Yes mate! One of your ex pieces!

[@BassMatriX]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.... I didn't even have the heads pace to enjoy the gag. First Jody with a button shirt? Then Jody with a tie? 15 seconds in and I had to pause it to collect myself. 😂 💀

[@wutang2549]

Thats the perfect SKX that seiko never wanted to build

[@UGA.D]

Daaaaaaaamn.... Pulled those hands with the seconds hand still moving?! Balls!

[@troynasello2085]

Awesome job, my man! Similar to my skx mod. One tip though, if you install the dial onto your movement (no need to install the hands yet), then install the movement with the dial into the case. Install the crown and stem & screw in the crown to make certain that the movement & dial are perfectly & correctly centered. THEN YOU GLUE IN THE CHAPTER RING! All the while making sure the hour markers on the chapter ring line up well with the indexes on the dial. Allow the glue to cure before removing the movement so there's little to no chance you bump the chapter ring & knock it askew. After removing the movement & dial, you can then install the crystal, hands, etc. Just a tip from my many experiences and mistakes I've made & learned from. Thanks for the awesome video! Thanks for ALL of the videos. You have no idea how much I love my morning routine of coffee, a Begal and "just one more watch" on my phone before I move onto my day.

[@finenavaljewelry5798]

Modding is so much fun! It also funds my regular watch collection.... When I mount the hands, I use a piece of Rodico to hold the hands and manipulate them in position while I press down.

[@Black_noir_mw3]

Wow, you made that watch look like 1,000,000 dollars. I really loved the red AR coating, when I can get into modding watches I'm definitely gonna have to try that one out. As always I loved your video, especially the cinema lol

[@patrickarmitageWWW]

Really awesome build. Like if they made a Prospex limited edition 30 years from now. The extra lume is just the cherry on top. Looks so good.

[@willd4491]

I've stocked up on SKX's from Creation Watches for posterity. I sleep soundly at night

[@campshay19]

The irony of modding a Seiko with a Seiko movement

[@callumduncan9099]

That intro was an absolute work of genius, it fair brightened up my crappy day at work 👌

[@MasterChronometer]

I love the SKX so much. That’s why I changed the movement, Crystal, bezel insert and bracelet.

[@wingi7722]

Beautiful!!!! My Modded SKX features a fully lumed Sapphire Pepsi Bezel Insert from Islander Watches. It is AWESOME! Love this video!

[@eggsII]

Nice one! I don’t know if house is just more dusty or what but I found myself using the tacky stuff on the dial and inner side of the crystal just to assure that there were no hairs, dust, smudges, etc in addition to the blowing air on it…

[@davidtodd907]

aw Jody - that intro is just about the funniest and most creative i have ever seen in a watch review - for a moment i was fully expecting Rab.C. Nesbitt to star in your video wearing your modded SKX ;)

[@AndrewEDC]

Finally modded my skx009. Bought the same insert! Flat Sapphire but blue AR and more importantly, a bronze case. Love it!

[@fergiet18]

Good job Jody. Intro was very moving 😂 The end result looks great.

[@arrivingarriving5166]

I'm fed up with the non-hacking 7s26 movement and am about to make the same change to NH36 - this is exactly the kind of no-nonsense video I was searching for to use as my guide, thank you for posting. Have to say, the end result you've achieved here looks terrific and has got me thinking of doing other things while I'm at it - nice!

[@Nefville]

You have some really rich topsoil I would love to see if that SKX sprouts in the next couple of months.

[@kathymortensen3678]

I think it would be a Seiko 5 that would sprout

[@FFHB]

Looks amazing! I would give that case a heavy brushing. Imho a matte looking case makes the other colours look more vibrant. Brushed is the new polished 😆 I like the rubber endlink strap and the red crystal! 👍

[@NorthernSuede]

Absolutely gorgeous, if I ever come across a reasonably priced SKX I'm gonna have to copy this mod

[@ricktoffer01]

Great drama. I just love it! I might try to put a lumen bezel and sapphire crystal on my SPR777 Seiko. I will get some cheap watches and practice first replacing crystals and bezels. Old dog learning new tricks. Wow, I can replace the scratched crystal and bezel on my 1977 Seiko. Learning a lot about watches. Thanks.

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

I have a double dome red coated sapphire on my SKX, and it is absolutely delicious :) By the way, you can buy SKX (compatible) cases on aliexpress and elsewhere, this watch will never be truly dead...

[@BTBHSOHBOY]

That right there is my dream SKX. Only change is I would add a lumed date wheel as well. Looks amazing!!

[@johnhorton2627]

Ah Jody you're the King of the Mods! Not the vesper riding kind of the sixties,but the watch kind

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Very nice mods Jody. I don't have the confidence to do all that myself... So I've just got Steeldive (black dial) and Heimdallr (orange dial) SKX homages, that basically have all of these mods pre-done.

[@WatchWitt]

The red sapphire crystal looks sharp!!!

[@quentinthatcher40]

Wow I may be late to the party watching this one but I nestled down to relax with a cup of tea and watch the normal intro and proceeded to spit my tea everywhere seeing you in that wig. What a start to a video and the mod wasn't too bad either.

[@mattsmiley8156]

Jody, I stare at Seiko Mod pages in IG all day long. All the things they can do is pretty wild. But, the understatedness of this build is amazing! Love the red AR and that fitted strap.

[@collarsncolours]

Dipping the bezel in acetone (nail polish remover) for an hour or two is a great way to take off an insert! The cement should come off pretty easily too

[@alexc.3727]

I ordered the orange Zoan strap like a week ago for my SKX, looking forward to getting it, they look amazing with that pattern on the inside. Great video as always, Jody :)

[@andrewk1916]

Brilliant! That was a great opener! Thank you for doing what you do so well! Cheers!

[@jfilm7466]

Looked good without the insert too.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

That intro made this entire video! Mod wasn't bad either.

[@davebridge4]

Great job on this build Jody. Looks really clean.

[@rob91rules]

BREST VIDEO EVER!!!! Thanks for the great content, I spit my coffee out at the gravesite! The King is Dead, Long live the King!

[@eyalbaum1254]

love the resulted purpelish hew, as well as the different colored lume - would have used maybe purple-blue bezel instead of pepsi and a torquise colored silicone strap :)

[@begoawadlobato]

I just absolutely LOVE your videos!! I discovered your channel a few days ago and I,m kind of addicted hahaha plus you encouraged me to try build my own watch (something I have wanted to do since ever). Thanks and keep the great work!!

[@douglasfuentes2737]

I liked the watch better before the bezel was put back on. The dial really popped 🤩

[@stevec.8904]

Amazing! Lumes so much you can see the date day. Thank you for an awesome video!

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Jody, you're a very skilled watch modder. Not a fan of the blue rubber strap, but the other mods are well chosen. Bravo

[@dosprompt5418]

Hey Jody, I bought a 007 last week based on your last SKX video. Late to the watch game and kept telling myself there are better watches for the now inflated prices, but had to see the real McCoy for myself.

[@geordiebatt]

Just got the Orange Heimdallr SKX. NH36, Sapphire, Ceramic Bezel, Solid end link Jubilee, £117!!! Everything the SKX should have been.

[@piquetuk]

Apart from the red AR crystal, I've got blue, you've just made my SKX, the bezel insert is sapphire not ceramic by the way. Nice job.

[@bobbybodybagz]

Thanks for the honest reviews without a Alpha M collab! ...Ciao!

[@thehappywristchannel]

The pearls were a nice touch 👌

[@robertlindo8058]

That seiko skx 009 themed T shirt is superb. I'd be too scared to put it in the washing machine in case something happened to it.

[@damianwims]

That red sapphire looked amazing.

[@mansingh1178]

jody you're the reason i have to spend a shit ton of money in the past month. i recently got into watches randomly and now i am a kinda expert read everything about movement hardware etc and also ordered 9 watches. but yea i made sure i used your link copy paste and then open the app in the phone to make sure you get a kickback. you deserve this men. i am still not confident to change ahdn or dials etc but i will be ordered the whole repair kit. safe to say spend a few grand including your seiko favorite.HMT how the hell did you know about this and your video i did research and booked 2 watches its kinda reminds of my childhood my dad always used to buy hmt watches. men don't wanna annoy you with long texts, sending you a lot of love. from ireland

[@cosymoon]

Ahhh your videos always make my day better. Laugh of the day award goes to this intro.

[@jamesblonde2271]

Excellent as always, just a note following your Zisou experience...deet is very bad for Casios, as a tropics dweller you'll know and as public information too. Its just getting sunny over here in Europe and my new casioak has aquired a little unwanted patina.

[@johnsrabe]

Nice how you celebrated the death of the SKX and the birth of Monty Python in the same video!

Yes! Been looking forward to this one Jody!

[@andreaiacolina]

Great job, Jody! I love the purple AR coating. The final result is really great 👍🏻

The in trend at the moment is Hydro Modding, Filling the case with silicon oil to get a deeper more crisper looking dial when looked at from any angle. Any chance Jody of an oil filled Casio Duro anytime soon? ;-) Loving the mods matey especially the might tough Vostoks.

Really nice Jody. My SKX is still working fine so I won’t touch it till I have problems with it.

[@maddingo]

i am big ... I can install a skx bezel with my bare hands I can just push it on... ha what worked well for me with the seconds hands was to put a tiny bit of rodico onto the hand setting tool to hold the seconds hand and then gently place it on the pinion... worked very well for me.

[@acomingextinction]

Watching that intro in the wee hours felt like a hell of a fever dream.

[@syedsaadwasti]

Hi Jodi..awesome video! Why don't you do video on citizen promaster automatic NY 0040 which has miyota 8203 movement... And compare it with the SKX? I have had both..and i feel the citizen promaster is very charming and keeps more accurate movement! And the looks and history are compelling as it was used my Italian marina militare as well! :)

[@stusims6567]

I feel like I could do a mod after watching this...almost! Great video as always Jody!!!

[@AliHassan-hv8id]

Just 50 second of video I see that and here for writing.....just awesome u r jodi.... thumbs up for u..

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

Hey Jody, any chance you could make a video about affordable watches with textured dials? That’s something I’ve really gotten into lately and there aren’t many videos about it

[@juliank911]

That looks like fun, think I might need to get a duro or something to have a go at this

[@ec633]

I had my SKX097 mod done with NH36 with perfect timing.

[@jasongennero2080]

You need to do a video on swapping the day and date wheel fora fully lumed one on a nh36.and also u need to do a video on the casio mtp-sw300 with seiko mecha quartz movement in it.
