I got this rare SEIKO Superior last week. A really nice watch with the TUNA hands and shroud. I ordered a few parts from Harold to tune up this watch. Parts delivered today morning.  Some pics before change some parts...      Now after change the parts I ordered a new SEIKO Z22 directly from Japan too.        I love the new look. The new ss shroud looks stunning and increases the quality significantly. The watch is more heavy and looks more massive. I like the contrast between the black bezel and the ss shroud as well. Direct comparison.   |

I agree with the mod and transformation. It looks much better than the original one. You might want to consider a Hexad bracelet also. I like I like.  |

Big thumbs up on this simple but very effective mod Phil!  I agree 100%, shroud mod really improves the look of this one, giving it a much higher quality look. I was trying to decide between Harold's black shroud or the ss shroud for my blue LE...I thought I was convinced of going with the black, but the contrast with the bezel is really nice, so I may go ss (was concerned about mixing too many finishes since the blue LE also has some golden accents). |

Yes, looks much better ! Deep in my watch part box I found an complete original hand set of the SBDX011. Now I thinking about to change the hand set of my SRP227.  |

So guys, some shots of the complete project. The watch got a sapphire crystal. The view of the dial is so much better. Love this...       It looks so much better with the sapphire crystal with double AR coating.  |
