Seiko 5 Sports DressKX Datejust Mod! [SRPE63K1 Full Build Video]

[@svkwatches]

A similar model is now on sale at my store: SVK Watches, check it out here: svkwatches.ae/products/srpe63-date-just-style-blue

[@joshshearer8775]

Just wanted to pop in here and let you know that thanks to your video I successfully modded my srpe, my first mod, and have since modded two other watches about to start my first ground up build. So thank you

[@svkwatches]

Awesome news! It’s not an easy one to start with, best of luck for the future builds too, glad I was of help 👍

[@DEWAGE83]

I think I'm gonna have to attempt this mod. I really love the datejust style, and seikos. What a sick combo.

[@bartglover22]

You’ve not only got a good pair of hands but you have a voice the BBC would be happy to have. A good mod & a great video. I took your advice & built myself an AP RO with a NH35 mov’t, I’m so happy with it. I have a guy in Singapore making a logo of my initials I’ll fit it once it arrives & that’ll be job done. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@svkwatches]

Hah appreciate the voice comment - most say I am very monotone! Happy to have helped you get going, show us on Instagram when done

[@mhelchenmoller]

Awesome video and the watch looks great! Thanks so much for showing and uploading the full build of this. It's what I needed to change the crystal on mine to sapphire 😁

[@scottparis6355]

I have one of these in black, and the Namoki clear AR crystal and black day and date wheels, and bracelet. I'd like to find some more field-watch-like stick hands, and maybe a more vintagey dial, with numerals instead of dots, but I may just go with what I have. I really prefer the clean, non-fluted bezel.

[@socomelite1]

That looks fantastic. I’ve never modded a watch before but I’m seriously considering making one of these minus the chapter ring.

[@davebowman1982]

Here's me now trying to find an SRPE on ebay... grey dial for me though Looks fantastic well done 👍🏻 Just found your channel, content right up my street. Subscribed

[@crazedgreek]

Very nice did the same last September i got the original chapter ring definitely like my decision though this nice as well

[@caseys_cozy_garage]

Great tutorial!!! I am of the opinion that this watch is too pretty to mod, but it's encouraging to know that I can replace the bezel if I do every get bored

[@BourbonInhibitions]

It only gets prettier with a jubilee lol. Don't care for the fluted bezel look but that bracelet takes this watch to another level.

[@theeroom]

What the heck WOW!!! What a mod did not know this was a thing with watches 👏👏👏

[@littlefilipino]

Loving this step by step! I think I might just do this myself!!

[@rbmwiv]

Great video sir. Excellent quality. I used your advice to mod my orient mako 2. I put a solid end link jubilee bracelet, coin edge bezel with a ceramic Pepsi lumed bezel and a double domed ar crystal. Thanks I have turned it into a much nicer watch, it also has day/date probably my favorite watch at the moment. I have over 60 and I will wear a lot of different ones but I have been wearing this one for about a month.

[@svkwatches]

Thanks for the comment, glad I could provide some inspiration!

[@charlesmontgomery215]

Nice demonstration !! I just ordered it for the same srpe blue i've had for a few months now

[@svkwatches]

It’s a lovely watch as it is, but the mods really make it stand out!

[@shnider156]

What an awesome video. Really impressive mod 👍

[@ashokbharath3932]

Excellent work 🦾

[@Juanjo191]

Amazing result!!! I have always struggled trying to visualize the watches with different straps, and I saw that this watch is a strap monster, I wonder if it would still be with that Bessel. It would be nice to see a video about it!

[@gustavopolanco6925]

That looks so good 🎉

[@jessekulbe1855]

I might have to do this exact build for my first mod, looks excellent

[@bharatbwaghri3102]

It's like Rolex model watch

[@lwood5375]

I have this exact same setup with a sapphire crystal but mines black minus the chapter ring.

[@freddymorlet9505]

Thx for your help, simple but amazing mod

[@Big_Boulders]

Awesome video. I'm just about to have a try at doing this. Do you think a polished chapter ring would have made it stand out better or is brushed the way to go?

[@vaughnmiller4371]

Winner winner 🐔 dinner.

[@jujujonbitcoinisplanbcrypt9618]

Beautiful Mod 😍😎

[@lukestrat93]

Fantastic Mod!! Would it be possible to fit the 4r36 into a 36mm case? Rolex Explorer or Black Bay 36 style?

[@svkwatches]

Yes, I know the perfect case - get in touch for more details :) [e-mail]

[@kiiito]

Thank you for the tutooooo

[@arturoramirez9134]

i have a seiko skx007 i just get a president bracelet solid end links center and sides polished.... nice... now i want to know is what you did for this seiko5 can be done on my skx007( bezel replacement with a datejust bezel)

[@Sameold87]

Why is the metal insert under the glass so appearent and so large on some of these seiko mods?

[@dr885]

the proportion of the bezel to the case looks weird

[@Sameold87]

Yeah, I see this a lot with seiko mods, why is that?

[@Storm-ov3yq]

Was just abt to comment that. Totally agree

[@VR-ke9wc]

I think you need a slimmer fluted bezel for it to work..similar to some of the older datejust models. The proportions are better when you look at it.

[@emilnim710]

I think it's because the chapter ring blends with the case. A stock chapter ring would have worked better.

[@hunwa425]

Great video

[@rutgerhauer5884]

looks great bro.

[@veuxd]

Great video. Didnt like that gasket that is showing. Otherwise looks pretty good

[@davidantill6949]

I would like to see a screw down crown mod

[@PS-wy2vk]

Can I change the glass and the bezel from the front or does the movement have to come out? Thanks

[@svkwatches]

In theory it’s possible, yes, but as it’s so easy to drop the movement out I’d still suggest removing it - for cleaning the inside of the glass once it’s on for example if needed

[@tiagoleite3501]

sad not to see a original seiko watch like this. SNXJ89 should be brought back

[@cher.4402]

I wonder if you could put rotating dive bezels on these dresskxs.

[@sparsh007sp]

Beautiful !

[@f1hotrod527]

I am guessing if that bezel ever needs to come off, it wont be as easy as the factory bezel to get off. Seems like it was quite a snug fit.

[@svkwatches]

No issue with a press - it does fit snug though I agree

[@junemeds801]

Wow❤

[@jnv0032]

Great video! I would like to mod my srpe with futted bezel but I’m wondering if I need to replace the crystal or can I still use the original crystal? Thank you!

[@svkwatches]

You can keep the standard crystal, no problems with the fit

[@N4Q7]

Can I use the same original glas for the flutet bezel?

[@svkwatches]

Yeah it’s possible to use the flat crystal and just change the bezel

[@DzejWiJV]

amazing

[@마이네임이즈-e8u]

Hi I have srpe53 and I want to mod it as well but Im wondering if you know srpe53 inner bezel size?

[@svkwatches]

I don’t know the size but the same part will fit it as shown in the video, links in the description

[@bravehearttilltheend6302]

Hello, Thanks for the video. Is there any differences in quality between namokimods and watch&style? Do you have any discount codes? Cheers!

[@svkwatches]

No difference in quality, I’m pretty sure the parts come from the same factory. For NamokiMods I do have a discount code: seikomodsdubai5 - please do use my referral link too: www.namokimods.com/?ref=seikomodsdubai

[@Mgpdriv3er]

Hi, which bracelet did you use? Since on the namokimods page theres only a jubilee for the SKX/SRPD and the SKX013? Thank you!

[@svkwatches]

Maybe they stopped selling it! You can find it at Watch&Style though!

[@srbclangaming]

Need some help with decisions. There is a fluted Seiko 5 with NH36 for sale in my country for 500$ and its the only one. Should i make it a first project to do make it on my own if i find some cheaper Seiko 5 or should i just buy this one that is for sale? Like is the amount of time and money less than those 500$ for a brand new mod?

[@svkwatches]

It depends on the watch you mean, this particular model I would offer at this price: svkwatches.ae/search?q=datejust&options%5Bprefix%5D=last I’d be surprised if someone was offering the exact same watch and parts used at $500. Of course it will be less to build yourself, a difference of maybe $200 - but you’d need the tools, parts, and knowledge to do it right first time

[@sancayakbulut3215]

Love it

[@johnnash3987]

👍

[@chizramos]

Where did you get all the parts? Please kindly send the information coz I try to modified my face dial watch.

[@svkwatches]

You can get all these parts from NamokiMods: www.namokimods.com/?ref=seikomodsdubai - use my code SEIKOMODSDUBAI5 for a discount too!

[@MUSIKANCM]

I have the Grey one without Mod. How much would be the Mod Like in this video? Shipping to Europe?

[@svkwatches]

Hi, I’ve listed this model on my website: svkwatches.ae/products/srpe63-datejust-built-to-order?_pos=1&_psq=datejust&_ss=e&_v=1.0 you’ll see the price there and shipping is $28usd too

[@MUSIKANCM]

@@svkwatches thank you

[@joshshearer8775]

If I get the Namoki Jubilee will I be able to take the seiko clasp off the bracelet of the srpe53 and put it on that?

[@svkwatches]

Unfortunately not. As the seiko bracelet isn’t tapered the clasp would be too wide. If you want a plain clasp though you could get the bracelet from Watch&style - they have the exact same bracelet but with a plain clasp

[@joshshearer8775]

@@svkwatches I was going the opposite way, wanted a seiko clasp on the unbranded Jubilee. Thank you for answering. Also to replace the crystal and bezel do I need a "sacrificial case back?" I doubt the only spare I have fits the back of it and I'd hate to destroy the crystal on it

[@ferdunayuruch274]

Hi, I would like to order this mod

[@benjaminblumchen8501]

How much?

[@svkwatches]

This one is around $650us shipped

[@svkwatches]

@Vasil Bozhkov I build these to order, you can reach me on Instagram @seikomodsdubai

[@kumudukulasekara6684]

That disrupts the simplicity and readability of the design IMHO. This watch is too much in the 'sports' category than 'dress' to have this bezel which is really associated with the Datejust. Only mod should be the strap.

[@ShlomoLevi]

Good job but I don't understand why and why? Seiko 5 has a Datejust-like model, so it might be easier to buy a Datejust-like model right away. to be honest, almost every company makes a watch that looks like the Datejust and you can buy a watch from any brand that looks like a Rolex. the most interesting thing is that Internet experts for some reason criticize the Chinese, but do not criticize well-known watch brands for the same

[@svkwatches]

Please share the available date-just model seiko currently offers, I’d happily buy it.

[@ShlomoLevi]

@@svkwatches I saw on KZbin review multiplied times about Seiko datejust . just look for search

[@ShlomoLevi]

I just looked at the site you recommended. It's just awful. the prices are simply unrealistic. sometimes more than 10:20 times more expensive than the same parts on AliExpress If you know how to search there. I don't think it's fair to recommend this seller

[@svkwatches]

Feel free to try the aliexpress sellers, the quality is simply not the same - I don’t get anything for recommending the likes of Watch&Style or Namoki, I just trust their parts quality and if anything is wrong they will fix it, simple as that.

[@ShlomoLevi]

@@svkwatches It’s not true! I actually have experience mostly positive and I’ll time I get something Wrong I get my money back its usual way of cheap sellers blame other good sellers

[@PūkaHeadMan]

😬Yikes!!! Sorry brother, but the fluted bezel definitely cheapens the look. Don’t mess with the original design except for replacing the crystal.

[@miguelperaza6615]

I have seen many 5 sports divers watches without a screw down crown and very very delicate second hands that will fall of the pivot with a hard shake ! Quality is real bad except the whole case at best!

[@mixodorians12]

Are you a giant? These watches look tiny in your hands.

[@svkwatches]

Yes. I have larger than average hands, and wrists!

[@miguelperaza6615]

I rather get a real Japanese skx and NOT a copy from Malaysia or Singapore! 😤 seikos 5 are not 200 meter watches .

[@LAWRO1983]

Gross seiko to rolex mods are the worst I'd rather have a pagani design homage then seiko on the dial

[@DM-ci2nn]

This watch is garbage

[@luiscastro5456]

why don't you share the links to buy these parts man??

[@svkwatches]

You can find the parts here from namokimods; www.namokimods.com/?ref=seikomodsdubai I usually put the link in the description too

[@socomelite1]

That looks fantastic. I’ve never modded a watch before but I’m seriously considering making one of these minus the chapter ring.
