MOD DETAILS
Aside from the strap change, the only modification made to this watch was to replace the stock bezel with the following bezel and bezel insert from namokimods:
Sandblasted coin-edge bezel: https://www.namokimods.com/products/srp ... ted-finish
Stainless steel bezel insert: https://www.namokimods.com/products/srp ... tyle-black
The bracelet was removed upon receipt and replaced with the Erika's Originals MN strap you see in the pics.
CONDITION
This watch was worn approximately 10 times. It shows little wear aside from the following notable marks:
-- Scratches and some gouging on the top of the lug at 10:00. This occurred during the modding process and was minimized by brushing work I did with scotch brite pads after the fact. The resulting marks are well represented in the photos. It is hardly noticeable when wearing due to that lug being on the far side of the wrist.
-- A faint bezel scratch at the 37-minute mark. It's not noticable in most lighting conditions but you can see it clearly in some of the pics.
-- The factory bezel also suffered some damage near the 53-minute mark during the modding process (Have I mentioned that I gave up on modding?). You can also see this clearly in the pics.
I personally think these give the watch some character but you will have to judge the wabi-sabi level for yourself. Happy to provide more pics upon request.
Otherwise, the crystal, dial, hands and crown are in perfect condition. The watch is keeping excellent time.
Bracelet is in mint, unworn condition.
