All good things must come to an end, no matter how much it hurts. I've had a lot of mileage out of the ole SKX, but I suspect this may be the last video..... Unless of course, it gets like 100,000 views in which case I'll be buying and modding another one. I like this one, it still looks like an SKX, but has a few key upgrades which mark it out as a bit special. Cheers, Jody

Jody. That wig. I think I feel things awakening in me...

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

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!!!!!!!!!

Ha! Thanks for making the exception for me.

The world is a brighter place with Jody in it.

[@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. 😂 💀

[@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.

[@christopherjensen5007]

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

[@VmanStudioz]

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!

The irony of modding a Seiko with a Seiko movement

[@stevendepp2041]

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

[@willd4491]

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

[@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!

[@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 ;)

[@uga.d4173]

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

[@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

[@fergiet18]

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

[@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 :)

[@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.

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!!

[@davebridge4]

Great job on this build Jody. Looks really clean.

[@TWS001]

Yes! Been looking forward to this one Jody!

[@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.

[@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.

[@mihailmanev5358]

I can't stop laughing throughout the whole video, that intro was "golden" mate !

[@michaelsorchantte3857]

Loved it!SKX is such a great watch,with a NH even better

[@wingi7722]

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

[@wutang2549]

Thats the perfect SKX that seiko never wanted to build

You are getting really good at the mods. Very informative, and entertaining.

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

[@NorthernSuede]

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

[@burnki]

I'm already looking forward to the next year's award season; you're a definite frontrunner, Jody. I hope you wear that SKX when you go up to accept your trophy!

[@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.

[@3rdstone1]

Excellent vid as usual. Entertaining intro, and very nice modding video. Keep up the good work, Jody. A new video from you always brightens up the day. Just too bad these tees aren't available anymore. :(

[@josephwah3505]

Great job Jody, nice looking mod👍!

[@robinj.9329]

Great Job! And the watch turned out fine!

[@AndrewEDC]

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

[@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.

[@TJuvis]

Loved the intro! Loved the shirt! Loved the video!

[@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!

[@thepull-outking5123]

Yet another excellent video, Jody. Great job with the mod, too.

[@CTommyB]

Looks great! I’m really tempted to try something similar 😁

[@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! 👍

[@josemavalmateu791]

Superb, congratulations for the video and the watch.

[@maciekb8554]

Made my day with the intro XD Love the t-shirt by the way

[@gerardogarcia-trio3572]

Great video. I get a couple of tricks from it, thanks! And a great mod, I don't like to change its appearance, I like those ones that just make it better respecting the design.

[@heysmitty1231]

Funny I watched your video yesterday. and this morning I woke up my watch stopped at 6:35. Your video is going to come in handy.....

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.

[@WatchWitt]

The red sapphire crystal looks sharp!!!

[@jfilm7466]

Looked good without the insert too.

[@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.

[@jeb-zf4un]

Good job jody. Im about to resto-mod my land shark up to nh36. More importantly what a cool t-shirt!

That intro had me in stitches. Watch looks awesome. I need to get me a Vostok to practice on.

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Vostoks are the perfect test bed.

[@damianwims]

That red sapphire looked amazing.

[@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…

[@rmelo5932]

Excellent video. I think you may have found your side hussle modding watches.

[@juliank911]

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

[@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
