My First Mod. Building the "6309 Doxeiko" Mod...
« on: March 21, 2010, 05:59:48 PM »
Sometime ago (long before the advent of Soxa mods) I paid a visit to TxAndy and together with Kevin MC we played with a few watches and built some mods.  We started with five, and four nice ones were left at the end.  The whole purpose was to make the orange dialed Doxa-type. We swapped out the chapter ring, dial, hands, a bezel from a Tuna, and put in black date and day wheels. It came out very, very nice. Much better than we were expecting.

It took a lot of time, a six-pack, two pizzas, and some patience. I haven't worked on any Seikos before, but after the first two I got the hang of it

First is what we started with:
   
 
   
  which in "expert Hands soon became this:
   
 
   
  this
   
 
   
  and
   
 
   
  The surgery soon began.  here is a transplant patient waiting for his turn:
   
 
   
  and here is Frankenstein's crystal press (aka the pad printer):
   
 
   
  soon the patient was out of surgery and onto recovery:
   
 
   
  HE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   
 
   
  here are three of the gang after serious reconstruction, waiting for the last of their buddies:
   
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
   
  Can't stop looking at this one:
   
 
   
 
   
  and finally, the magnificent 4:
   
 
   




  It was a very cool Saturday evening Andy.  Now let me go dig up some more old watches so we can do it again.
