Purchased with a known crown issue, showed up with some crystal scratches, thought I might as well upgrade to sapphire. From scratchies to no scratchies

Put a polished pilot bezel on the SKX013. Gives it a bit more of a refined look.

Has a Visitor Watch vibe to it now.

This may be the cheapest and easiest mod I've done. Started with two Casio CA53Ws, looking to get the positive display in the white case.

I was a little hesitant after removing the back and not seeing a clear way to lift the module. But I took [mention]Dub Rubb[/mention]'s modding advice and enjoyed an adult beverage before continuing. That gave me the courage to start jabbing at things, which is how I discovered the tiny tab at the top of the module. A gentle pry with the screwdriver and it popped right out.

Repeat with the other watch, put it all back together and...

We have a legible screen in the white case and a blacked out spare. Total time (after beverage consumption) was less than 5 minutes.

Excellent! A well done double mod, and I think an improvement on both. Also, glad I could help pass on my watch modding "knowledge"[emoji23]

Resurrecting an old thread...Here's my 20 year old SKX015 that I just finished modding:

1. Replaced original 7S26 movement with a new NH-36A (cheaper than servicing, and adds hacking/hand winding).
2. New crown and stem (necessary due to the movement change) from Namoki mods.
3. Lumed ceramic bezel insert from Island Watch.

I also tried putting in a double-dome sapphire crystal I got off AliEx...it sorta fit, but interfered with the bezel insert, so I went back to the original hardlex.

This was my first stab at swapping automatic movements, and I have to say I'm pleased. After some run-in time, I did some DIY regulation and have it currently running at -1 to +2 sec/day. So all-in-all a very worthwhile mod.

BN0151. Did months ago.

Swapped to the great stock Citizen bracelet that I got on my green version but is rare in the states. Added double domed AR coated sapphire.

(BTW, the Long Island Watch bracelets are nice for maybe 1/3 of the price of the Citizen if you buy it from official Citizen channels. But no adjustable clasp).

Has anyone attempted a mod on the Boderry Sea Turtle. The titanium watch is NH34 based and dirt cheap at ~$100. Maybe worth a shot at the price. Was thinking of a dial/hands swap.

Hands would be simple enough. Finding dials could prove to be difficult depending on its diameter.

1) Buy red and blue car touch up paint
2) Paint the #12 bezel
3) Blow until dry
4) Exhausted……..drink beer
