What's this all about?

This is mostly to record my tinkerings with watches.
This all started with an article about Seiko modders in 'Make' magazine http://makezine.com/02/diy_wristwatch/

Since then I've been meddling in 7s26 and 6903 movements from early Seiko5's, a bellmatic (an automatic watch with a mechanical alarm - how cool is that?), and now an 1971 Omega Seamaster. All bought from ebay as 'spares or repairs'..

This is my first custom mod : 7s26-0020 case with dials and hands from Dagaz (great store, great service) http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/ and a custom bezel from Dave Murphy http://www.murphymanufacturing.com/seiko_bezel_2010.html.

Running a tad fast at the moment, but in use every day..
