Truly impressive work Dan and well beyond my skills for sure! Given my wife is Japanese we of course are into Seiko's. Reiko was a certified Padi diver and she was required to have a certified dive watch. She has an early quartz Seiko diver that is her holy grail, I tried make it mine but failed miserably. ;-)

So I ended up with an old Orient Mako diver, cal 469. Similar in size to the Seiko SXK007. The lume is what makes the watch, if I keep it on while I'm camping the lume lasts all night and never have to emerge from the covers to see the time. I've always wanted to mod a diver of sorts. I see a lot of mods out on WatchUSeek and the Nookies mods the Seikos and Orients.

I look very forward to seeing your finished 6498's, I'm sure they will look stunning!

Good luck!

Gary
