My modded urchin

I know for a lot of seiko collectors the SKX was their gateway drug, this was mine. What was yours?

The watch that started it all for me is the Seiko 5 SRPH25.

It was an impulse purchase. I had a love-hate relationship with it for a while because the all-black design looks so out of place with most of my clothes. My watch collecting journey grew from trying to replace this watch! 🤣

Now that I have a few watches, this black Seiko has settled in its place as my daily low-key work watch.

I'm also thinking of getting a gun metal nato strap like yours.

One of my favorite watches, a Seiko 5 Sports SRPE77K. Mods include a new day wheel, red second hand, knurled bezel and crown, ceramic bezel insert, and a blue AR sapphire crystal.

mine was orient kamasu since skx has been discontinued at that time.

I had a Bulova Marine Star. One time someone asked me if it was a Baume et Mercier and I was unaware of who they were. So I did some looking around and discovered a whole world of watches I never knew existed. The rest is history... or debt... mostly debt... who needs utilities anyway when you can have some sweet sweet wrist candy.

This snk381 is quite a charmer.  I no longer have mine. Replaced it with the snkl23 which I regreted seriously.  I might try to buy one again if I find a bargain.
