This one I made for our goalie. He is a road worker, and did my backyard.
He didnt want to get payed for the job. I knew he was looking for a blue watch. So I made one for him.
This is what I got:
And this is after.

7s26-0020 Orange mod
This one I made for Marc.
He wanted an orange watch.
I gave the movement an overhaul, and changed everything but the case.
I started out with this:
And this is what it became. Later I changed the strap for an all orange rubber one.
Seiko 7002-7000
This Seiko 7002 came as part of a lot of 12 watches. 11 went in the bin, this one was saved.
After an overhaul the movement came to live. I gave it a new crystal, bezel insert, hands and dial.
I polished the case a little, and gave it a strap.

after
Seiko 7S26-0040 – SKX031
Here another midsize Seiko.
I restored the dial, because I liked the silver lined round indices.
You see some spots on it, but it gives a ‘vintage’ feeling on the watch.
I kinda liked it.
Here the before:
And here the afters:
Seiko 7s26-0030 / SKX0013 midsize
There are a lot of midsize, beatup Seiko divers available, based on the famous 7s26 movement.
Great for restoring. Here is an example. I left out the minute track, because it covered a part of the indexes.
I changed the bezel, dial and hands. I gave the movement a full overhaul.
Casio. Beated up.
This watch I found in an old lot from Ebay.
I rather liked its blue dial and gave it a cleanup, new bezel, crystal and strap.
Here is how I got it:
And here is the result
