The Retrograde. The ever-enjoyable double retrograde complication. There’s not much left to say about this layout that I haven’t already touched on in previous newsletters - it remains, in my view, the best automatic complication you can buy at this price point.
The Face. The classic combination of blue, white, and stainless steel rarely fails, and the limited-edition SARD013 is no exception. Its rich blue lacquer dial is elevated by the glossy, glazed hands and slightly raised dial markings, creating a depth and texture that’s more refined than the price might suggest.
The Enjoyment. The double retrograde display continues to be both playful and satisfying in operation - particularly when the hands snap back to zero. It's a complication that offers visual interest and mechanical charm in equal measure.

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.
