    Let's see some photos! I've seen some really beautiful, eclectic modded speedys out there (Ash steadman's "medic" speedy is probably one of my favorites of all time, displayed here: http://www.behindthewatch.com/archive/9 , alongside an equally beautiful franken speedy :D )

    I'd hardly call them frankens. To me the word describes a parts watch made from different sources being represented as an original item, usually in an attempt to deceive.

    These are modified watches, openly shown as such. So I think "modded Speedies" is a more appropriate term.

    I'd like to see more shots too, wonder if @ashleysteadman has any new projects on the boil?

    Fair enough (and good point there)- modded speedies then!

    I've seen a lot of beautiful ones while perusing the forums over the past few days, it'd be nice to have a thread with a collection of the images in one location.

    Or to borrow a term for the auto industry, custom. Custom Speedies.
