This version looks very nice, every part blends nicely as if it's an original model from the manufacturer.
Yep, that's what I feel too. It's a pity that this version has discontinue.

welcome to the club, snip3r. I'll let the rest of that enthusiast show you the way to the poison. :)

Prepare $500 and you'll have spare change.

Its a great article...

normally here is how we go about it.

email yobokies to enquire about the FFF parts and he will give you a link on a forum showing the parts and price.

you can paypal him with the parts u need.

or

you can go to 10watches.com and buy on this website from dagaz.

Both are thru paypal but only yobokies is having the blancpan style hands, lume bezel and FFF caseback.

once the parts arrives, you can go to K2 and get the seiko snzh from Mr Goh. He will charge a small fee to mod it for you.

Cost should be quite ok if u just change the dial first only. The other parts can do it in second phase.
I see HWZ ppl mainly only change the dial.

you could also mod it to the way u wanted. imo the dial is the fundamental way to start off. if you have more $$$ to spend later on, you can change the crystal, hands, caseback and the strap.

my fff dial and red second hand should arrive this wk! :D

agree! mod dial for the feel first. other mods leave it to second phase.

Emailed Harold and and this is the webbie.

http://forums.watchuseek.com/f30/fs-cus ... 84063.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If get all is US214 + $160 base watch = $430

Also, any suggestions from 10watches also as I see there are peeps here using the red line seconds hand which is nice.

How is quality btw 10watches and Harold?

Cheers.

Yup this is the link yobokies gave me on the FFF parts too. Yobokies have the red tip second hand, i rem is adding 2usd more for the hands set.
Both dagaz and harold are good. No issues with them so far.

Bought from both dagaz and Harold before. IMO quality wise the hands and dials are similar so I mix and match. But I do feel that dagaz is faster with their shipping and the way they pack is better compared to Harold, more professional perhaps?

this is the dial that i ordered. reason why i choose this is due to the date position at 4.30. http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/ ... how/244957" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

red second hand that i ordered. http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/ ... ow/1854182" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

still contemplating on bradystrap. there are many choices with different colour stitchings. the quality is very good. I have one on my snzh57. but the delivery takes very long.

hope to see your fff soon!

Just wondering.

IF most parts are from harold, might as well ask him to ship with a pre-mod FFF. Could be cheaper?
