I’ve looked into them. They also really have a nice pilot chronograph called the avion.

That’s beautiful. I’ll definitely look into it. Is it only available in Japan?

commented on Buying a “frankenwatch” ·

Nice. What I’m thinking of doing is taking some of these watches with nice dials for example, and replacing the movement or even the case.

Yes. Mine didn’t come with any gaskets either. I highly doubt they service such cheap movements, but it would surprise me if they did.

I was thinking about a swap. However I’d also like to change the case because I’m not too crazy about it.

commented on Seiko Modding - Parts? ·

For a beginner I would say eBay. I’m doing my first build soon and the parts are slowly arriving. You can find a variety of tools and parts for good prices. 
 

Then there’s 3rd party websites like namoki watch mods which make quality parts but are a bit more pricey. If you’re willing to spend extra, the quality will be much better.

commented on Can I pull this off size wise? ·

Yes looks good. Most of the promaster divers wear and look smaller than the actual dimensions.
