Modding a watch is pretty much like modding a car. You change certain items like the hour/minute/second hands, change the dial/face, change the bezel, having it ceramic coated.

People with Rolexes sometimes get their Subs or GMTs coated in black, change the face, paint the bezel, because they want a custom look (*Bamford, Project X). Some Omega owners would switch out faces and subdials (of a chrono) also for a unique look (*check out PANDA SPEEDMASTER).

Other people who are fans of Seikos would go more extreme, changing out almost everything and use just the movement and casing. Especially popular is the Seiko Diver model SKX007. Just google SKX007 mods and there'll be plenty of samples there
