I love Seiko but never wanked in to a generic mall jeweller to buy, as you suggest may be the case. I think this would definitely liven up yet another watch purchase story on WC!
Call it what they will, be it microbrand, homage etc. if it's well designed and functions in line with its claims, then there's value. But a unique example is hard to find. Can't agree that modded watches are usually an improvement though. Though a real estate agent in Dubai with a tiny dog and ill-fitting suit may have a different view.
