My latest mod project is an SKX009 that has parts from various Seiko 5's, such as the dial from an SNKL31, 4R36 movement from SRP283, not positive where the hands came from (got them thrown in with the deal for the dial) but probably also Seiko 5 in origin.

Hands look like they came off of the Alpinist (SARB017)

Except (thankfully) they are not gold gilt on the modded Seiko.

This thing is the opposite of good taste, IMHO. Roman numerals, catherdral hands, rattly jubilee on a wonky case, yeck! Did get the movement improved, at least.

My SNZG13

And I just clicked "Buy" on a SRP481

I was seriously thinking about the LandShark, SKZ211, but it has the older non hacking/hand winding movement. It's still on the radar though.

The main thing i would change is the crown position. And a larger crown. A pilot watch just has to have a large crown at 3 o'clock.

And secondly the size. Pilot watches are huge watches usualy. Even 38-40mm ould have been much better than 37 imo.

I think you might have bought the wrong Seiko 5. You should look at the SNGZ15. It's very similar to the SNK80x design, but 42mm, crown at 3 o clock.

I had both of these, only have the smaller one now. I just like the design of it better. I do wish it was just a tad wee bit larger though.
