Seiko Watch Modding: A Deep Dive with the Namoki 62MAS Diver's Watch

Welcome to the World of Seiko Modding!

Hey there, fellow watch enthusiasts! If you’re like me, always tinkering with watches, you’ll appreciate how Seiko has become a playground for modding fans. My journey, enriched by experiences like building a watch with DIY Watchclub, has only deepened my love for this craft. And let me tell you, when it comes to dial, case, and hand options, NamokiMODS is where it’s at. These guys have everything to make your watch uniquely yours.

Why NamokiMODS is Awesome for Seiko Fans

NamokiMODS is like a treasure chest for Seiko lovers. They’ve got a ton of parts for custom builds. And if you’re just dipping your toes into watch modding, they’ve got fully built watches too. Great for starters or if you’re just looking to expand your collection.

My Time with the NamokiMODS NMK07

I recently got my hands on the NMK07 from NamokiMODS – their take on the classic 62MAS. It’s got its own vibe but still nods to the Seiko’s vintage roots. Perfect for modding or just wearing as is.

The NMK07: Specs and Style Unpacked

Let’s Talk Specs:

  • Build: Solid 316L Stainless Steel

  • Size: A neat 41mm diameter

  • Wrist Fit: Just over 49mm lug-to-lug and a comfy 20mm lug width

  • Under the Hood: Runs on the trusty Seiko NH35A SII movement

  • Water-Proofing: Yep, it’s water-resistant up to 200 meters!

Looks That Kill:

  • Crystal: A shiny double-domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating

  • Bezel: Durable ceramic, looks sharp!

  • Dial: Navy blue sunburst – minimal and classy

And the Strap:

  • Feel: Comes with a cool tropic rubber strap

  • Options?: Loads! Customization’s the game.

It feels great on my just-over-7” wrist, balancing a sleek look with a sturdy feel.

Why the NMK07 is a Craftsmanship Marvel

NamokiMODS doesn’t just make watches; they craft experiences. The NMK07’s case is a beauty with its vintage-style drilled lug holes. The screw-down crown is not just for looks – it helps with the 200m water resistance. And the Seiko NH35A movement inside is a reliable beast.

Make It Yours: Strap Swapping Fun

The NMK07 comes with this awesome tropic rubber strap, but hey, why stop there? Thanks to those drilled lugs, changing straps is a breeze. Leather, nylon, silicone – go wild and make it your own!

Wrapping Up: Why the NMK07 Rocks

In the crowded world of dive watches, the NMK07 stands out. It’s got style, it’s got substance, and at under $400, it’s a steal. And with NamokiMODS’ huge community and resources, the sky’s the limit for customization.
