    I had this watch custom made because I wanted something different that really stood out. It’s a solid piece, and I love the contrast of the black face against the gold dial and case — it gives it a bold yet classy look. I’ve had plenty of compliments on this one already. Couldn’t be happier!

    I had this Seiko mod custom made about 18 months ago, has a quality feel to it, hasn't missed a beat, and was a great price for the build. Very happy. Thanks
