Modding a watch is pretty much like modding a car. You change certain items like the hour/minute/second hands, change the dial/face, change the bezel, having it ceramic coated.

People with Rolexes sometimes get their Subs or GMTs coated in black, change the face, paint the bezel, because they want a custom look (*Bamford, Project X). Some Omega owners would switch out faces and subdials (of a chrono) also for a unique look (*check out PANDA SPEEDMASTER).

Other people who are fans of Seikos would go more extreme, changing out almost everything and use just the movement and casing. Especially popular is the Seiko Diver model SKX007. Just google SKX007 mods and there'll be plenty of samples there

i want the lum tec m51 with yellow second hand and stitches on the straps. :sweetjesus:

I am looking for a full frontal face skeleton watch. I really like one from hamilton but it also comes with a hefty price tag, and no one has it in store for me to actually see physically...

I love Lum-Tec this is my 3rd one. Great watches for the price. Really solid and tough. I have a Bull that i wear daily and its i bang it up and all, great everyday watch. And its not something that everyone has. The M series is my fav since they come with leather, rubber and a metal strap so you can swap them out. Its like 3 in 1 lol. Hit up Wrist Weapon and tell him CD5 sent you maybe we can do a group buy or something. I really want to get a M thats automatic too.

^ In for Lum-Tec group buy

lum tec on dat kwaurtz movement or is it dat real aufentic mecanicul movement?

hey guys, i need a new digital watch that is cheap. I saw this white g shock that looks pretty nice (cus it is all white). Any thoughts about it? anyone know the price and where i can snag one local?

Yo man,

You bought more since the last GB? Damn it !

I have 3 now and am itching to buy the M51 Phantom.

Let me know if you are going to buy another M soon, I'm sure we can get a few guys together on here or from watchuseek to do a GB.

Anyone else in? Lets do it.

holy shit alot of you here seem to have a big collection of watches. So honestly, how much do you guys splurge on watches? and how many do you have in total?

lol, what language are you typing in? It took me awhile to fiqure out your question. Lum-tec have both quartz and automatic

For sure i'm in. I want a M auto. This V looks really interesting too. I can't decide lol.

Not sure if serious.. Regardless.. Check BoysCo, J2, and that watch place next to EB in Oakridge.. retail I think is around 150? Online is cheaper but there's a lot of fakes, so be careful.

:facepalm: @ myself. I have around 8?.. I lost count. 2 higher-end ones (Rolex Sub, Omega Speedmaster), and a bunch of random beaters (Fossil, Diesel, Gshock, Tissot, Vestal, whatever). All bought on impulse. I give the cheaper ones away to my cousins and stuff when I'm bored of them.

It doesn't really matter who spends how much on what. Everyone likes different things. Though still.. watches are a bad addiction. But I don't drive a luxury German car, and I don't spend much on clothing (most my t-shirts are probably under $15, and I only have like 3 pairs of shoes..), so I don't feel that bad :lawl:

Could someone educate me on Lum-Tec watches?
Most of them are Quartz movement and I've read lume comparisons and ppl who own both say that Seiko's diver watches have better lume.

What's makes Lum-Tec so great? I assume the better build quality and material. Also, newer and more fashionable design I guess.

i've also seen some lume comparisons where Seiko has lume that lights up like a torch!
i'll agree with the fashionable design though. at least it doesn't look like a ripoff design or something like an homage like plenty of boutique brands (which, of course there's also nothing wrong with it).

My new leather strap has arrived!
Still waiting for my PVD buckle though....
