day/date window or date window.įor the uninitiated, first, a quick summary of the many confusing model numbers of Seiko movements used in SKX and SRPD watches:ħs26 is the movement used in SKX007, and 7s36 is the 7s26 update with two extra non-functioning jewels.Ĥr36, used in SRPD, is the modern upgrade of 7s26/36 with manual winding and hacking second. If you’re looking for other aftermarket dials, check for these points: 1. This means that unless without extra modding, the dials are not compatible.įor the experienced modders though, the dials are of the same size, so it is possible to use our dial on Seiko (and vice versa) by either modding the position of the dial feet, or cutting the dial feet off and attaching it to the movement using other means. The SKX and SRPD have a 4 o’clock crown, while our dive watch has a 3 o’clock crown. Therefore compatibility of these straps are not guaranteed. Please note that some after-market straps have special shapes and construction (like curved end designed to taper fit with the case). On the other hand, the springbar of Seiko SRPD has a smaller tip which is the same size as ours, and therefore our straps can be used on SRPD watches, and vice versa. One exception is our parachute strap, which can be used on an SKX watch by keeping the SKX's original “fat” springbar.
SEIKO SNK MOD MOD
But there is one major difference between SKX and SRPD: the springbar of SKX has a thicker diameter and tip (which is why the Seiko mod community affectionately calls it the “fat springbar”), meaning that our straps are not directly interchangeble with SKX straps. Our dive watch has a lug size of 22mm, which is the same as that of SKX and SRPD. These parts are compatible only under specific conditions, and might require advanced modding techniques: If you want to do a bezel mod, check out our quick guide on changing bezel. you can apply our bezel insert along with our bezel onto a Seiko, but you cannot apply our bezel insert to a Seiko bezel. One point of note though: the bezel insert must be changed in tandem with its bezel, i.e.
Therefore the hands of our dive watch and those of Seiko SKX/SRPD are interchangeble, as well as those of other Seiko watches using 7s35/36 and 4r35/36 movement.Īll of our bezels are interchangeble with Seiko SKX and SRPD bezels.
SEIKO SNK MOD SERIES
The movement of our dive watch is pretty much the same as that of Seiko SKX and SRPD series (see below for a breakdown between 7s36, 4r36, NH35/36, and NH70/72), the only difference between them being date ring vs day/date ring. That said, here is a list of compatible parts and non-compatible parts for SKX and SRPD Seiko watches: Compatible Parts Therefore, modding of these watches is best reserved for the experienced modders. Other popular Seiko mod watches, such as SNZF urchin and SRP turtle, are compatible only under specific conditions (such as matching movement, dial size, and crown position, see below for detailed breakdown) and the possible modification is limited at best. In addition, the new Seiko 5 Sports series (SRPD), nicknamed “5KX” precisely because it shares many similar parts with the SKX series, is compatible as well.
