First I'm wearing the black Luminox today. I bought the stainless Luminox for a weekend watch.

After seeing Seiko mods on the net I got the inspiration for this one. I bought a used SKX007 to start with. I bought a new Seiko 5 on ebay in order to get the dial. I bought aftermarket hands and a ZULU strap and had Duarte do the swap for me. I call it the "army diver".

I'm not sure if this one counts or not but it has the military-style hour markers. This is my last ecodrive, the one that I've talked about quite a bit recently.

And last I'll throw in this DLC Steinhart, strictly because of the color of its strap.
