I just got back into watches in 2021, after not wearing a watch for years. Glad to be here.

Nifty!
looks great. well done.
Alessandro of Timed Square on YT did a similar case swap for the SNXS79 using the SNK case. https://youtu.be/t9BXbe99-rA
I don't remember though what he did with the SNXS79 case.
How's that bracelet feel and how is the end-link fitment? Would love to see a couple of additional pics if possible.
Just got my SNXS79J and immediately replaced the case back so it's down to 10.8mm thick and less like a flying saucer on the wrist.

The Uncle Seiko bracelet is nice. End link fit is good. But as far as I know it’s not compatible with the SNXS79 case. Mine is using an SNK393 case.
I also put a slim solid case back on my SNXS79 case. It makes a big difference.
Here are a few more pics.
Aw amazing, thanks for sharing the pics. It looks great, congrats! I hadn't noticed the case swap before, but it really looks nice. Uncle Straps just released a jubilee for the SNXS: https://unclestraps.com/collections/snkl-snxs.
I ordered a Ali Express Rolamy jubilee the other day to see if the quality is ok (plus prefer the look of their Rolex style clasp with easy link). If it is bad quality I'm prob get the Uncle Jubilee.

I wish Uncle Seiko had had that bracelet sooner. It would've saved me a lot of trouble swapping cases, etc. Oh well.
I have an Ali Express type Jubilee style bracelet and the quality was not very good. The end link fit was terrible. So it's sitting in the strap drawer. Good luck getting your SNXS79 the way you want!

But it does look super nice in that case 😎 I went for this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004307812159.html only because it was reviewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irLFgmor5o0.
Will see how it turns out. Happy to share some pics here when it does.
A possible future sapphire upgrade from Monster Watches at some point...
