There’s something special about a watch mod that feels instantly right the moment it hits your wrist. This week, I upgraded the dial on my daily Seiko build and within the first five minutes of wearing it, I realized I’d created something different. Not just another mod… but a real conversation starter.
And trust me, people noticed.
The Build: Galaxy Meets Earth
This new dial blends a star-filled black sky with a vibrant Earth design across the bottom half. The contrast is crazy deep space above, bright blue planet below, giving the watch this unique “cosmic window” effect. Every angle catches light differently, making it look almost alive.
The lume markers pop beautifully against the star texture, and the upgraded bezel and jubilee bracelet give it that clean, premium finish. It’s the kind of mod that feels both bold and wearable every day.
Workshop to Wrist
The process was a smooth one swapping the dial, re-seating the hands, aligning the date window perfectly and the moment the crystal went back on, I knew this was going to be my new daily.
As soon as I stepped out wearing it… the reaction was instant. Five Minutes. Four Compliments. One Mod.
“Bro, that dial is insane.”
“Where did you get that from?”
“That’s a Seiko? No way.”
“Looks like something straight out of space.”
This watch didn’t even need time to grow on anyone. People were pointing it out before I could even explain what I’d done. It’s rare you get a mod that hits like that, but this one does.
Why I Love This Mod So Much?
• It’s unique — you’re not seeing dials like this anywhere on a stock watch.
• It tells a story — Earth, space, contrast, depth.
• It feels premium — but still has that Seiko 5 reliability underneath.
• It stands out naturally — not loud, but impossible to miss.
This is exactly why I love modding: turning a reliable daily into something personal, artistic, and completely one-of-a-kind.
Thinking About Modding Your Own Seiko?
If you’re in the UK, especially London and you want your watch to get this kind of attention, you’re in the right place. Whether you want custom dials, bezels, crystals, handsets, or complete builds, Seiko Mods London is all about transforming everyday watches into statement pieces.
This space-themed build is already one of my favourites of the year… and something tells me it’s not going to be the last dial upgrade that gets this much love.
