GSxSeiko Hybrid $120 build

This is another build I did!

parts sourced from AliExpress too (surprisingly with the seiko logo and proper grand seiko zaratsu finished hands??)

I wanted a watch that wasn’t too flashy (no GS logo even though it was an option from the shop to buy a dial with the GS Logo) yet had the subtleties that GS is loved for.

My latest project is a combination of a white seiko textured dial, GS zaratsu finished hour and minute hands and for a pop of colour, a painted blue presage second hand for some contrast!

Got a simple 316L stainless steel oyster styled case (with a screw down crown, bonus WEW) and encased a NH35A movement inside!

I learnt from the mistakes from my previous build! I was super careful to use gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints on the hands/dial! I got special instruments to pick up each of the parts to prevent scratches.

This was great fun and I’m so satisfied with my finished product! I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do! :)
