I am thinking of modding an skx013 to get a bold & cool Zodiac Seawolf feel, but with the SKX history. Here's my idea, thoughts?
A little much for me but it’s definitely a fun statement. If the price is right it looks like something fun to wear.
I was planning on doing it myself for about €350. €20 for bezel insert, €30 for dial, and €300 for a new skx013 from Longislandwatch or creationwatches plus shipping. Would that be an okay price? Plus, what would a professional modifier charge for a job like this?
I don’t know, depends on the relationship ship you have with the watchmaker. If you spend a few hundred to basically have a new watch and still can go back to the original configuration ( assuming you know what you’re doing) the to me it sounds great. Some of us spend that much in a couple of straps!! even if you mess up you may have some fun doing it and spend less money than going to Disney!
