The second Hydra mod has been sold, thank you to everyone who inquired about it. The Hydra model is not a piece that will always be available for commission ( due to the rarity of parts ) but if interested in having one made, please do email me to see the current possibility of creating another Hydra. Email eyoon319@gmail.com Thank you for the support guys!
Not to mention, when you have a custom mod, in my opinion, it’s not only that you have something no one else has, but you have a connection to the craftsman. Love your work, thank you!
I had a Seiko titanium 7t32 media blasted, sapphire crystal etc, cost more than the watch was worth, but I was well happy with the outcome.Personal choice, love your mods!
I love your videos. You inspired me to take up watchmaking and watch-modding. One thing-forgive me for saying this: you frequently say “opposed to”. The phrase is actually “AS opposed to”. Again, thank you for your truly excellent videos. Keep doing what you do.
If I didn't know anything about the parts, I would assume you bought that from a AD. Everything flows and compliments each other. Outstanding job! Very well done!
ConvoyGTR Thank you! All Seiko needs is a bit more creativity in their designs. No worries though, as I only need them to come up with nice dials and hands. The rest I can change up
The only channel on UA-cam which I love the most because of its exceptional quality videos and stuff. If SEIKO employs someone like you in their designers team, they're definitely looking double the figures in their sales.
Great job on this custom Seiko timepiece!!!!!! It’s absolutely stunning and Eric, you’ve done such a wonderful job in describing in detail this build. What’s the asking price on this watch?
woooow some of your designs are so nice. my friend wreign told me about your mods on instagram. He wasnt wrong. these are very nice. I will have to save and get a watched built.
Hey man,... You are batting 500.. love the execution, attention to detail. Been following you sinde @randomrob talked about your work. Kudos brother, keep up the good work. Here's a Miami Fan
Nice build. A few things. In my opinion, the bezel insert is too sunken. Did you use contact cement? I’d recommend instead using the 3M double-sided adhesive to lift it up. It just seems to be off by 1mm or so. Also, my pareidolia tells me that the crown guards look like a fish or a snake’s head that is eating something too big for its stomach and it can’t get it down its throat. Those crown guards really freak me out! As for bracelet, I prefer the Angus J over the super J - just as comfy but a nicer chunkiness which would pair better with the chunky case. The StrapCode Engineer bracelet would pair well with this build also. The oyster would look too flat.
As a newb into the watch hobby I found this video really interesting. Since this video is 3 years old I was wondering is it more or less expensive now to build a watch like this?
Can a skx like this be a bloodmoon version? I would love to see that. I love thw size of the skx's. This is a beautiful mod tho. However, the bloodmoon design is also super cool.
If he done that he would be sued, by watch companies, maybe they let u put diffrent bezel etc, but not on mass, only if you change the name of watch,ie joe blogg watches
Love your info videos. Im wanting to mod my skx013 and my skxoo7. Can you please make a video and explain what movements work best for 3:00 and 4:00 crown positioning. Without having to change any day wheels.
Hi Eric, seen you from Peter McKinnon's channel. You are really inspiring and an interestingly skilled man.. multitalented craftsman. Great, Video edits, brolls, nice watch
Would the AR blue coating get lost once hydro modded? So would a clear double dome be better and Also cheeper.......Really like the AR coating so be really happy if the blue remains after the mod. Your thoughts please👍
What a terrific watch. We had discussions earlier, but due to price I had to stop. My dream has not ended, I just hv to sell other watch fm my collection. Once collected money, pls be sure I shall contact y again. Cheers, Achim+
Way to go! That has to be one of the best mods I have ever seen! Do you regularly make mods for sale? I will definitely be keeping up with your posts in the future.
Thank you! Normally I don't make pre-made watches, but occasionally I will make something that isnt commissioned by a customer! These most likely get posted for sale since the building process gets filmed and uploaded onto my channel!
Any plans on adapting a 3oclock dial to a 4oclock case. would love to see this dial on a skx case. Really thinking on buying a save the ocean to harvest the movement, dial(mainly) and hands to use in a mod, but I like the looks of the samurai dial so much more. Been learning a lot with your channel. Obscenely good looking watch by the way!
Island Terror I can do either! Some prefer for me to source the parts due to uncertainty of picking up the correct parts. Others have the parts all sourced and sent to me, which does make it a bit easier on my end! 🙏🏻
bro,you should set up a webpage where you would sell these projects. most of them look really good
luka mihotic you can actually email him for orders, im saving up to order from him
He sells on Amazon check his description for the link...

@@juliusbawasanta7658 What does one of his watches run? Im thinking about it too.
Iam agree with bro luka...its make a simple to order

Lume Shot did you sell it? Curious how much.... looks awesome!

Interstingly enough that is actually a complete new watch model. No watch is needed to start. That is incredible!
I love your videos. You inspired me to take up watchmaking and watch-modding. One thing-forgive me for saying this: you frequently say “opposed to”. The phrase is actually “AS opposed to”. Again, thank you for your truly excellent videos. Keep doing what you do.
Your Attention to Detail is Pure Artistry!
Your money, your watch, who cares what anyone else thinks, it looks pretty cool though.
That's a sharp build. I usually don't care for the yachtmaster bezel insert, but it does look nice on this build.
Love that watch, The only thing I would change about your design is the date window. it must be black with white 😁👍
Now this is a beautiful work of art.
Beautiful! Very nicely done. I’d imagine there will be a few people out there who will copy the build.
wpherigo1 Saw it here first! Will forever be the Hydra
price!!!! 😢
On the 1st blue one the sweep on the hands looks really good. Cool watch
If I didn't know anything about the parts, I would assume you bought that from a AD. Everything flows and compliments each other. Outstanding job! Very well done!

Absolutely stunning Brother. The love you have for your craft shows in all the details 💙🤍
Absolutely beautiful, well done sir!
FalconPunch1978 Thank you! 🙏🏻

WOW this is beautiful. Everything is matched so well. Good Job.
A carefully thought out and executed build. How is the bezel action? Do you test the watch for water resistance? Is the movement calibrated?
Calibrated, pressure tested and nice clicky bezel action that was tuned up!
Great job on this custom Seiko timepiece!!!!!! It’s absolutely stunning and Eric, you’ve done such a wonderful job in describing in detail this build. What’s the asking price on this watch?

4:03 what model is that dial from??
Your attention to detail is amazing. Keep it up
Awesome video! Build is crazy! Looks super cool and lots of thought out into it.
ChevyGuy234 Thanks! Its a sick build for sure!
Just came across your channel and wanted to say great work. Beautiful watches, and fantastically filmed. Keep up the great work!
A very beautiful watch and if I could I would’ve bought it. Thank you for the video
Love your passion and expertise on watches. Watching your beautiful eyes is the icing on the cake!👍🏻

Freakin Stellar builds Eric! You’re amazing and have definitely using your calling. 🙏🏼💙
You're genuine your honest and I'm so happy the age you've started your career, best wishes al the way Cuz
Liked and subscribed because you went the extra mile and upgraded the strapcode clasp to a branded seiko mm300 clasp ... Nice work watch is gorgeous !
Thanks for the support! The clasp is the hidden surprise!
Nice build. A few things. In my opinion, the bezel insert is too sunken. Did you use contact cement? I’d recommend instead using the 3M double-sided adhesive to lift it up.

What a beautiful watch. You have a great eye for detail and beauty. Well done.
Excellent build 👍
I am LOVING your work.
Brilliant work brother. You're a master
Great build spec. Love those hands.
I like that better than the glide lock on the sub. The only clasp better than the Seiko is the one on the Deep Sea Rolex that thing is a work of art.
As a newb into the watch hobby I found this video really interesting. Since this video is 3 years old I was wondering is it more or less expensive now to build a watch like this?
That’s the sickest mod I’ve seen!!!
stunning mod/watches. Thanks for the breakdown of how they were made
Seiko should recruit you to lead the design section. Just genius man. Stay safe Bro.
Probably one of the best mods I've seen.
The great white shark is at 20:00 🕗 on the limited edition dial.
Great looking watch 👍🏻👀👀👀
Can a skx like this be a bloodmoon version? I would love to see that. I love thw size of the skx's. This is a beautiful mod tho. However, the bloodmoon design is also super cool.
Very cool watch and video! Mod on, rock on!
Where did you get the dial from? Did you buy an original Samurai and take it from there?
Long nights of relentless searching since they were released. I usually don't buy the entire watch to harvest the dial.
Awesome build .... your mods surprising me every time ;)
Wizard Watch Thanks! I always end up surprised with the end results too
unique love it .Love the execution of the final product,in comparison like a brabus version of MercedesBenz.👍
Your work is always fabulous. I just gave my grand seiko to my son and am in the market for another. I want you to build one for me
Great mod , used the same dial for my first ever mod
Great build! Love your choices.
You have real talent.
Steve R Thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome mod.....beautiful Eric
Adrian Jackson Thank you Adrian!
Beautiful piece-nicely thought out.
Bro this thing is so clean!
I admire your work al lot, but is it me or is the datewindow not lining up? For the rest it is amazing!!
You should come up with your own logo and put it on the dial. I would want your logo on the watch you build for me.
Jay Wodtley Im definitely considering that! Looking into details for putting my logo somewhere
@@LumeShot maybe add the customers monogram too
Don’t make it look like the “Christopher Ward” logo lol.
If he done that he would be sued, by watch companies, maybe they let u put diffrent bezel etc, but not on mass, only if you change the name of watch,ie joe blogg watches
Yeah, LS. I'd want you to sign it, bro.

Thanks!
Would the AR blue coating get lost once hydro modded? So would a clear double dome be better and Also cheeper.......Really like the AR coating so be really happy if the blue remains after the mod. Your thoughts please👍
cool, uber cool , but why bother with a non automatic movement?
I love your work. Saving my pennies.
What a terrific watch. We had discussions earlier, but due to price I had to stop. My dream has not ended, I just hv to sell other watch fm my collection. Once collected money, pls be sure I shall contact y again. Cheers, Achim+
Achim Kohlhage Hi Achim! Thanks, looking forward to working with you
Stunning watch. Congrats. Does Seiko call YOU if they need parts info? LOL Can you buy just the dial for a shark or turtle and not the whole watch?
Way to go! That has to be one of the best mods I have ever seen! Do you regularly make mods for sale? I will definitely be keeping up with your posts in the future.
Thank you! Normally I don't make pre-made watches, but occasionally I will make something that isnt commissioned by a customer! These most likely get posted for sale since the building process gets filmed and uploaded onto my channel!
Incredible; beautiful & a great creative quality piece.
that is a work of art. looks very pricy indeed. would it be more expensive than the seiko turtle sto2? it looks like it.
Hi, wondering if would know if a sumo case back fit a SKX case ?
awesome build!
Good job and beautiful watch.
Ey man where can I purchase one of your projects gotta have a page or something
Great job and good taste!
Hi we're can I pick up the clasp please ?
G R E A T J O B ! ! !
Have you tested the water resistance?
i d love to see an all blacked out samurai with this kind of bezel
How can I buy any of you watches
Would be interesting to see you make Hydromod (fluid filled) Seiko Quartz
Haha yeah that's what I thought this would be but I want disappointed either way
Lume Shot is tha Bomb..
Omg !! That is really cool watch !! Is the watch on sale ?
Great looking watch.
Excelente video 👍
Hi, where can I buy the black dial ? Thanks
Where to buy details to upgrate from? can you write downbelow please
Where do you get your dials from?

Thank you. Yes, a dial configured for 3 o'clock cases can be modified to fit inside a crown with the crown at 4.
Beautiful pieces
Hi first I'm so impressed with your skills... do you have customized watches for sale like ready to ship anytime? Where are you based? Thanks
How can I take a picture of a thumbnail so beautifully?
Gorgeous watch.
you deserve get more subs.
I started building my own watches. But if I'm going to spend upwards of $1000 I'm using Eta or Selitta movements over Seiko
Have you done Grand Seiko?
My watch turns heads every time I wear it great work
Beautiful mod!
Beautiful work.
Keep on making them videos Man...
Hi Eric, Is it more beneficial for you to source parts for a build or have the buyer send everything in ? Which is your preference ? 👍👍👍
Island Terror I can do either! Some prefer for me to source the parts due to uncertainty of picking up the correct parts. Others have the parts all sourced and sent to me, which does make it a bit easier on my end! 🙏🏻
that watch is sick!!
