    I was looking at those myself.All the watches seem legit , nothing jumps out as wrong on any of them .The skx007 look cheap , the bullhead and pogue seem high enough for well worn examples but the ad says open to offers so room for negotiating.

    He does have a good insta and a serious penchant for pogues.

    Other than that, I know nothing about him.

    Isn't there a Seiko shop/supplier in Ballymount?

    On the first Pogue ask him to move the time away from 5 o'clock. My dial has started to flake near the chrono minute dial. This one could be the same.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    This is the place I was thinking about. Hardly the same seller I guess

    Deffo not FB. Especially so when he's guilt of crossing the streams and daring to modify seiko stuff with aftermarket, shock horror!

    https://touch.adverts.ie/casual/seiko-automatic-nh36-movement-mens-watch-custom-homage-sub-batman-modded-diver/28694237

    Joking aside his stuff looks great and he's given me an idea re his bullhead and a vk64 mashup with a Homage case and dial. Oh the fun!


    I suppose the only thing with buying from a lad like this is to be 100% aware of the originality of what yer getting. He's able to make seiko parts dance and marry together seamlessly, but from my perspective I dig what he does.

    Fair play to him, good idea. I like some modded seikos, but personally wouldn't be into the ones done purely to look like a rolex.

    That name sounds familiar for some reason…

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    That bellmatic price is a taking the piss, lume is falling apart, badly polished and no bracelet, especially for a 17 jewel version.


    His "refurbed" skx007 scream avoid to me, "new" JDM dial with faded orange divers writing? No. New bezel? No.


    Claims to have fitted nh36 movements, which is day & date but on date only dials and the nh35 is cheaper to buy. Also claiming ceramic on all metal bezels.


    Also has fake (not homage, full on fake) dials on their mods, along with a lot of other questionable parts where they suggest Seiko but are not.


    Most of my watches are modded Seiko's but those descriptions often don't match the images, trust them as far as I could spit them.
