Hello, Up for sale is an upgraded SKX173. My goal for this mod was to keep it looking OEM, but fix two of the most common gripes with the SKX series: no hacking/handwinding, and no sapphire crystal. To that end, I replaced the crystal with a flat sapphire, and upgraded the movement to an NH36 with an kanji day wheel. The crown is also new to allow for an NH36 stem. The watch comes on a high-quality seatbelt style olive green NATO strap. More pics/timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/0wfUVVj Asking $275 OBO shipped CONUS. Paypal or Venmo preferred.

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
