Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Seiko Mod
A Seiko mod is a custom-built watch that uses a genuine Seiko movement—most commonly the NH35, NH36, or NH34—combined with aftermarket parts such as cases, dials, hands, bezels, and bracelets to create a unique design not offered by Seiko from the factory.
Think of it as the watch equivalent of customizing a car. The engine (movement) is genuine Seiko, while the exterior components are selected and assembled to achieve a specific look or style.
For example, a Seiko mod may use:
-
A genuine Seiko NH35 automatic movement
-
An aftermarket Submariner, Daytona, or Explorer-style case
-
A custom dial with a Seiko logo
-
Upgraded hands, bezel inserts, crystals, and bracelets
Seiko mods are popular because they offer:
-
Proven reliability from the genuine Seiko movement
-
Unique designs and color combinations
-
Easy serviceability and parts availability
-
A more affordable alternative to luxury-inspired designs
It’s important to note that Seiko does not manufacture or endorse these modified watches. They are custom-built pieces assembled by independent watchmakers using genuine Seiko movements and aftermarket components.
