Watch Modding Piece by Piece
Modding a watch can be addictive. If you are a creative type, finding just the right parts to make your very own perfect watch can be an interesting journey.?As we've covered in the past, the Seiko SKX007/009 dive watch has the most aftermarket products available for modification. But what's fun is checking out the world of watch hobbyists and small companies that produce very specific parts for very specific watches.Suppa PartsLet's take the Citizen BJ8050-08E, nicknamed the "Ecozilla." This tank-like solar-powered dive watch has a proprietary strap and lug attachment that makes sense from a functional standpoint, but limits collectors' ability to use straps with standard width ends. In comes Suppa Parts, a co-brand of Stevral/Raven/Benarus, which makes an adapter to fit the Ecozilla and its automatic counterpart the NH6930-09F (the "Autozilla"), so they can use standard 24 mm straps.

What kind of movement does my 1968 Seamaster De ville have?
Hi guys, I have a 1968 omega seamaster de ville with the date, and i am not sure if it was 24 jewels or 17 jewels. Does anybody know the movement in this watch? Also, what movement did the 1967 de ville have and what are the esthetic differences between the 1967 and the 1968? Thanks a lot -Andrew

Planet Ocean AR Coating
Im looking into getting a Planet Ocean as my Daily Driver. I love the way it looks and I think its a great watch for the money. However, the more Ive been reading the more im getting worried about the AR coating. I dont want to spend 3k on a watch only to have the face look like crap after a few months of wearing it. I know some people have just taken the outer layer off with Polywatch, but Im sure its hard to do without getting any on the bezel. Does anyone have any pics of their crystal after a year or more of wearing it? Who has had major issues with this and who hasnt? If its a big issue I may just save up a little more and get another Rolex. When I spend that kind of money, I dont want to have to worry about something like that.....

Omega Speedmaster - scratches
I have just got a brand new Omega Speedmaster Pro and I was wondering if it's possible to change the hesalite crystal into the sapphire one somehow. I've had the watch for only 2 weeks and already got some nasty scratches.

Blue Wave DD2
I tried this on at the Tourneau in Naples today. To me it's perhaps the perfect Day Date. Unfortunately I had to leave it with them. Here's a couple of pics.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
