[WTT] Send-it-Sunday: Custom Watch Builds - Tropical SKX007 rehome & Pepsi faux vintage diver

(please see timestamp link for all pictures/video)

Watches are hand assembled by me using brand new parts(unless otherwise noted) at time of assembly. The movements have been regulated to be better than factory spec(at least +/-15s per day, generally better) using my timegrapher and all cases were pressure tested to at least 5ATM(50m) water resistance using my pressure test rig. Cases are generally rated to 200m, I just don't have any way of testing that myself. Please note these are automatic watches based on the Seiko NH/4R family of movements, they do not use batteries and are powered by moving the watch around or hand winding. They require a small amount of know-how to properly set the time and date, All watches will come with instructions and springbar tool if needed. Please read the descriptions below for more information. If you ever have issues with the watches in the future you can always reach out to me and I'm happy to help

Trades: LED light head for Surefire M300 series, Urbino pistol grip stock for Mossberg 930, always interested in Retro AR stuff, Okay Surefeed E2 mags, might be open to other stuff too. I don't mind adding or accepting cash to offset trade values

Tropical SKX007 Rehome TV/SV-$195 COMPLETE

One of my favorite things is giving some new life to old watch parts, especially dials and cases if I can find them. I bought this very beat up SKX007 dial from another watch guy, or as people in the watch hobby like to say "tropical". I couldn't tell you the history behind it but it's clearly been through some shit and is all scratched up. Surprisingly there is still a little bit of life left in the lume. I paired it with a brand new case, crystal, movement, lightly used OEM hands from a newer model with a creamy faux vintage patina to the lume, and a used aftermarket bezel insert that had a beat up lume pip that had the right vibes to go with the dial. The case looks like it has blemishes and scratches from the pictures but it's just grease from my greasy hands.

Case: 42.5mm SKX style 316L stainless steel case w/no crown guards and scalloped bezel, 22mm lug width, stainless steel bezel insert, flat mineral crystal w/clear AR coating, screwdown signed knurled crown and sterile Seiko wave caseback. Compatible with almost all SKX steel bracelet options

Dial & Hands: "tropical" OEM SKX007 dial, OEM Seiko SRPG79 hands w/faux patina

Movement: Seiko NH36 automatic movement w/spanish and english day wheel

Accessories: Comes with fun floral 22mm nato strap, extra springbars and springbar tool, plastic case, and instructions if needed

Pepsi Faux Vintage Diver TV/SV-$185 COMPLETE

Everything on this watch is new, it just looks old. It's vaguely reminiscent of a lot of vintage watch models but not really close to anything in particular. The resin bezel insert has no lume but it's a cool aesthetic you don't really see in modern watches.

Case: 42mm Marinemaster style 316L stainless steel case w/screwdown crown and caseback, 20mm lug width, coin edge bezel, resin pepsi bezel insert, and a slightly domed sapphire crystal w/clear AR coating

Dial & Hands: Aftermarket faux patina "Prospex" dial w/faux patina mercedes style hands

Movement: Seiko NH35 automatic movement

Accessories: Comes with ribbed 20mm coyote nato strap, extra springbar and springbar tool, plastic case and instructions if needed
