Basically I want a Doxa Sub 300, but with a house move coming and lots of other things I have had to hold back. However that didn't mean i couldn't build something that looked like one ;) I give you the Soxa mod. So sit back and have a watch.
Also playing around with some new video intros and formats. If you like them or have any comments for changes please comment :)

Beautiful Soxa mod! I didn’t realize the reason behind the Yobokies name. I just ordered my first dial and hands from them. Glad to hear Yobokies has your endorsement. I’ve caught the modding bug. Already built 2, and have 5 in the queue 😳. Think I’ll be done for a while once they’re done. Like you said at the beginning, I only have 2 arms! 👍

@GrimwoodWatchModding 3 жыл бұрын
I did do a recording of the bezel action but cut it from the video due to length. However it is very good. Only thing to watch is the o ring for the bezel is ever so slightly too small. So you have to be careful when installing that you don't nip it. Bit of lubrication helps ;)

Superb mod. I like the turtle case more than the Doxa case so you've created something on par if not better than an icon. Well done and thanx for leaving links on parts in case I might try the same. Cheerz.

Sorry mate but Honesty is the best policy and the Crystal absolutely looks Horrendous as does the Straight end link bracelet.(it has to have Curved End links in my opinion) Appreciate the Mod and work involved So great job.👍⌚️ Seestern for £130 has outdone you recently with a proper case,Bezel and Bracelet so you using the Turtle case I just don’t understand as it’s not really even a Doxa Homage or mod which we were doing years ago on the Seiko Forum but Fair enough and whatever rings your bell.

Very nice. I had the same craving and spent quite a while looking for a moddable Baby Turtle. I gave up last Christmas and bought a yellow Maranaz Samui :-) It's a beauty. The BoR is an excellent fit (I like split pins) but did you consider a black tropic? The only Doxa I've seen in the flesh was on a tatty rubber strap from Amazon "because it was cheap" (?!) - but it did look good.

Thanks. Did think about doing the Baby Turtle but I'm a sucker for it's bigger brother. Also pricing on them is a bit high for what i wanted to do. The Maranaz Samuri looks like a great watch though, haven't had one in hand but heard good things about them :)

That's gorgeous!! Can I ask, what do you think of buying a cheap Seiko homage from China and modding it? They usually have NH36 movements I think.
@GrimwoodWatchModding
@GrimwoodWatchModding 3 жыл бұрын
I have done it and highly recommend it. You just have to be careful that you know what parts are able to be fitted. However, dials and hands are pritty much always interchangeable. Bezels, crowns and inserts can be a bit of a hit or miss type of thing.
