    I am the client for the watch in the video. I am rather new to watch modding and I rather enjoy the color scheme of the Rolex GMT Pepsi. I could have purchased a new Rolex (could not find one) and I could have purchased a fake Rolex. I did not want to do that. Instead, I decided to mimic the color scheme of the Rolex Pepsi with a Seiko. I have two Seikos', a 2nd gen Orange Monster and the SK 007 Dive watch. I felt that Usman created a unique, great looking watch that is exactly what I wanted. I must say that based on the comments below, I might look into a 12 hr. bezel. Frankly, I did not realize that was an option, thanks for the tips regarding that. In closing, I felt that the video was fantastic and it was fun watching my watch being built...

      I think the 24h indication looks much better and if you want a reason for it you can just use it as an AM PM to 24h converter. But not all has to make sense in the watch hobby :)

    Which model of Seco 5 was that before you started? Does it matter? I see some that have the numbered bezel and some that don't. I love watching the videos but sometimes I have more questions that I keep scrolling through the video again and again trying to find answers to. Would be nice if you could lay the watch down for a minute and focus on it while you do either a verbal or texted description of it before you get started. Some of us less educated followers would sure be greatful. LOL
