    hi all

    i would normally avoid anything gold whatsoever
    but this has very much caught my eye!
    (the steel case, black face version with the gold numerals/indices/hands.)
    I'm new to watch obsession and Its for my beginners sub-a-like / diver
    I was all ready to get an SKX (surprise, surprise)
    but then saw the SNZF which i prefer, then saw the SNZH
    and i prefer that again!

    I've seen all sorts of reviews and photos but its hard to tell
    in some it looks a bit cheap and nasty and in some it looks class!
    How is it "in the flesh"

    thanks

    I really don't like gold watches, but this is just gold trim. Not gaudy at all imho, it's a very nice watch. Judging purely from google images.

    I too, don't like gold detailed watches but a FFF is a modding staple so...

    Wears lovely, has become a firm fav on the rotation of watches. Definitely needs a strap over a bracelet.

    Mine is a yobokies based version with a Brady sailcloth and RHD deployment. Only thing I need to do is fit a sapphire.

    Like it so much I coated the rotor gold on the 7s movement.

    Gorgeous no doubt!
    Thanks for the feedback,
    The mod is fabulous but I'm only getting into all this,
    Mods are down the road for me,
    Is it decent looking as stock?
    There's a lot less gold in your mod
    than the stock piece

    Cheers

    The angle subdues the gold in the mod dial and hands, still not as shiney as the OEM dial. It's a much nicer watch in the flesh than I thought it would be from the online pictures.

    Curses on you, I'm blinkered by the modded one now, it's gorgeous! Don't want the normal one anymore! ;)

    Hehe - Don't get a stupidly expensive one from eBay, half the time they just fit a mod dial and try to clear £200 profit, the original hands don't fit the mod dial, go direct to Harold at yobokies and he'll build one for you to your spec.

    That's a date only dial, with hands to match (second hand red tip), hardlex which I should have changed to sapphire, Brady sailcloth strap with a rhd deployment.

    Yobokies is the older style, whereas Dagaz has the newer style homage.

    Both are excellent for mod supplies.
