The Dial. A winter-frosted white dial, with applied markers - a mix of baton indices and Arabic numerals. The markers are delightfully tall, regularly casting long shadows across the dial throughout the day.
The Accuracy. Inside is the legendary 8J, thermocompensated, HAQ movement. Said to be Seiko’s last foray into their “whatever the cost” approach to making Quartz movements, as it would eventually be phased out fully by the cheaper to make 9F calibre. Just like the 9F, the 8J is accurate to +/- 10 seconds per year, but according to some dedicate testing from WUS community, the 8J handily outperforms the 9F at every temperature.
The Battery. While the 8J lacks the Twin Pulse Control Motor that allows the 9F to move very heavy hands with a high-degree of accuracy, the 8J boasts a 5 year battery life vs. the 9F’s battery life of only three year.
The Bracelet. The original bracelet. Will fit a 7.6 inch wrist.

Do I have to pay customs or taxes?
It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to; the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage, new, or modified), and the import and tax laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.
Are your watches water resistant?
All of our watch mods are tested by our own pressure depth testing equipment, and are guaranteed to resistant water up to 50m of depth. Seiko Originals have varied levels of depth resistance, which will be stated in the description of each watch.
Can I modify an existing design?
We welcome all ideas! Get in touch via the Contact Us page and we can let you know the possibility and cost of any potential alterations.
What is your returns policy?
Due to the hand-made nature of the Seiko Mods, we offer a 7 day returns period after the watch has been received. The returner must bear the cost of the returns, and the watch must be returned in the same condition as it arrived. We do not offer returns on any bespoke or custom-made watches.
Due to the vintage nature of the Seiko Originals, returns are considered on a case-by-case basis, as vintage items typically have a no returns policy.
