From PhotoShop to Reality :)
I've always wanted a nice white dialed Seiko Automatic Tuna....
But as Seiko didn't manufacture one, I played around in Photoshop to come up with a modified SRP227 Sardine with parts from a White Stargate.
==================
PhotoShop rendition
==================
After some time, I managed to get the necessary components and off to K2 I went. Mr.Goh did an amazing job, handed him the parts last Thursday. He did his magic and had it ready for collection yesterday
I'm really happy how this turned out

Re: From PhotoShop to Reality :)
The mod turned out nice , looking good
Re: From PhotoShop to Reality :)
Thanks man.
I was not sure if I should also use the Black outlined Stargate Hands in the Sardine, they would definitely be more easy to read.
But in the end I decided to just change the Dial and Chapter Ring, and keep the Sardine Hands. So far, I don't have a problem reading the time

Beautiful, did you get the dial separately or changed out from an existing stargate?

I actually purchased this Modded White Stargate from the SCWF Trade page.navik wrote:Beautiful, did you get the dial separately or changed out from an existing stargate?
Than had Mr.Goh transfer the dial and Chapter ring across to my SRP227 Sardine
Now, in addition to the white Sardine, I also have a "unique" Stargate with the SRP227 Dial
But, one BIG problem with this "hybrid" Stargate, is that because the SRP Chapter Ring is so high, the Crystal now sticks up, above the Bezel. I plan to get Mr.Goh to remopve the Chapter ring at my next visit, so that he can push the crystal down fully

Maybe you can explore replacing that bezel, so I can have it.
Not as active.

Stargate's bezel got no alternatives...

Re: From PhotoShop to Reality :)
For curiosity sake (only), what are other Seiko dials and chapter ring set can be swopped with the Sardine's original?
Re: From PhotoShop to Reality :)
Thats some crazy mod.
Re: From PhotoShop to Reality :)
