My latest quick and cheap daily beater King Samurai build for just under $100.

I see Seiko "modding" like AC Cobra kit cars—you get a similar experience for a fraction of the price, often using identical or comparable parts.

The Build:

* King Samurai case
* Samurai hour & minute hands
* Shovel second hand
* Samurai style Paris hobnail-patterned dial
* Sapphire crystal
* Ceramic bezel
* NH35 movement running +4 seconds/day

Pressure-tested to aprox ~20m with my DIY setup. This thing’s an absolute tank.

[EDIT] - Got a database error when posting

. No clue why it ended up here.
