Seiko 5KX Mod to SKX173 - Using A New OEM Seiko Dial to Build a Modern Seiko 5 Sports Watch

After damaging my awesome Seiko SRPD51, the 5KX in blue, I decided I wanted to use that case for a new build. After finding a new OEM Seiko SKX173 dial, I had a vision for the next project. I wanted the look of an original SKX173 on the modern 5KX platform with the updated NH36 movement. This video documents the transformation and build process. I used the following parts for this build:

Case, bezel, crown/stem, hardlex crystal : from the Seiko 5KX SRPD51
Caseback, chapter ring, bezel insert : 3rd party aftermarket
Dial : Seiko SKX173 original
Movement (NH36) and handset : from the Heimdallr SKX v2 homage watch

The build process was fun and I am beyond thrilled with the end result. Enjoy and hope this video is useful to anyone considering a mod project on their Seiko 5 Sports 5KX.

I use Epidemic Sound for music and sound effects.
