Hi all

After I managed to source a decent 7548 SQ dial from EBay, I duly sent off the case and caseback for John (The Tiger UK) to work his TST magic.

This is the 7548 when it arrived with me (seller's pics).

While the case was with John, I also sent off the dial and hands to James (dreamboat10) to be relumed.

I finally got the chance to put it all together this afternoon. Please excuse the awful pics, my PC is still dead, so these were taken with my old HTC phone.

Massive thanks to The tiger, John and also to James for the superb relume.

Really pleased with my first TST - 7548!

Amazing!

I think it looks amazingly cool Chris, an eclectic blend of some of Seiko's best qualities, and just dam handsome to boot! :grin:


Enjoy!

I am a shade biased Chris but I think it looks really good and the photo's are excellent IMO

After a lot of fiddling I concluded the 7548/TST is the ideal combination. Your's looks superb Chris.

You have done well my Man , looks great and you got what you were after
right ? The pictures look great also, so all is needed is to use it and lift it
up when some say, ......... " What is That "? You explain it and say........
" It is all Mine ".:72::13:

that looks incredible...i so cant wait to be able to afford to make one of these amazing watches....love them more and more i see them....

Wow. It seems as if an original Seiko means nothing to SCWF. That was a nice 7548.

 

[flyinmysoup]

That's an incredible series of pictures. The lume work is top notch!

 

[jringo8769]

love that lume work..was it crazy expensive?..

The lume work wasn't exactly cheap either. It cost £75 or approx $125, but it is truly first class work, and makes such a difference to the watch. It glows very well indeed. James is a complete gent to deal with as well.

Definetly worth it for a project like this IMHO!

Once I get a working PC sorted, I'll upload some decent pics with my DSLR.

That does look fantastic, I hate/have to admit my gut response was the same as hks3sgte...

Great looking mods! I can't wait to get my case back from John!

 

[toxicavenger]

I could have never done this mod to such a great looking 7458 Pepsi, maybe one that was in pitiful shape but not that one.

Glad you like it though.

 

[jringo8769]

well i would gladly do that to get one of John's TST's....great work

 

[diesel powered seiko]

I appreciate craftsmanship, and that mod must take some, so I'm very impressed, those type of skills are fading. That re-lume looks excellent as well! How long does it last for? You used your phone for the pics? I need a new phone, they are lovely clear shots IMO.
