 I got this new Seiko because it reminds me so much of the Seiko Black Monster but it is just a finer, smoother "Lexus Edition". I liked the polished surfaces a whole lot and with the simple bezel, I think I can transform this watch a little bit more. The dial is also very simple with clear and legible numbers. I posted this a few days ago though.



Here's another look.

and another (the black dial turns to midnight blue at an angle):



Eventually, I plan to change the original black dial into either this red dial:



or this white dial (watch shown below is different though):



or even this black dial (again, watch shown is different):



I also plan to change straps and add a strap compass as shown below:



and below:



I found these original 7S26 dials brand new and dirt cheap. The compass I also found in the same store. I snapped it up because it reminded me of the fad and fashion in watches a long, long time ago. I also saw hundreds of brand new replacement hour, minute and second hands but none of them took my fancy.

So I guess I'll be experimenting on the best combinations possible with this little cache of selected Seikos:



Hope you like the post. I'll share pix of the transformed editions as soon as I can.:)
