A Guide to Seiko Watch Hand and Dial Modification

People with a penchant for high-end timepieces but who don’t have deep pockets can still get a luxury watch at a low price. Both new and used parts are available for sale, which can be modified to fit the owner’s wants and needs at a fraction of the cost of a completely new timepiece. 

Watch modification is not as popular as it could be because many people believe that the owner should not modify watches. 

A Passion for Watch Modification

Timepieces of all sorts have evolved from simple time-tellers to wonderful and complicated machines with much more than an accurate timekeeper. These timepieces designed to be worn on the wrist have become more complex and expensive even though watch modification is possible to make one at a far lower cost.

There are many different styles of watch modification that can be done at home. Watch modification can be done to either a new or old watch. To modify an old watch, you must first find the parts you want to change. Then you need to get a watchmaker to fit these parts.

Watch modification is mostly done to old and worn-out watches, which cannot be repaired due to their age, and are no longer being sold by the manufacturer. Watch modification can take the form of changing watch hands, watch dials, or watch bezels to fit the owner’s personality.

How to Fit a Seiko Watch Hand

Seiko Watches have a different way of fitting their timepiece watch hands. To fit a Seiko watch hand, you will need to remove the old watch hand from the watch movement if there was one fitted. Then you need a drill that has a size that will fit the new watch hand and drill through the watch movement. Now that the new watch hand is fitted you can put the new watch hand onto the movement and fix it with a screw and screwdriver.

How to Fit a Seiko Watch Dial

Fitting a Seiko watch dial is a very similar process, but it is slightly more complicated. You will need to research how to fit a Seiko watch dial before you start.

First, you need to remove the old watch dial from the watch movement if there was one fitted. The new watch dial will need to be put onto the movement and secured with a screw. The watch dial will then need to be aligned level with the movement. The new watch dial will need to be marked out and cut with a sharp knife, and then the edges smoothed. The new watch dial will then need to be fixed onto the movement.

Conclusion

There is a wide variety of watch modifications that can be done to old and new watches. Watch modification is not as popular as it could be because many people believe that the owner should not modify watches.

Watch modification is a trendy hobby. With the increasing interest in luxury watches and the decline in prices given for second-hand luxury timepieces, watch modification may become more popular than buying used watches. Watch modification makes it possible to own a luxury watch at a fraction of a completely new timepiece price.
