We aren’t too mad as the pigment is really good. But the reason why so many love it is because of its bold, no-nonsense Arabic numeral, military time, straightforward design and red tip on the seconds hands. It’s quite normal actually. In fact, the modders work this particular model to change the boring design of the dial. And try it on a Nato strap! The lugs won’t be an issue anymore, and it will completely change the look of this incredible piece.Also, it’s not another Rolex homage. At this point, I think the Rolex homage market is almost saturated. We really need some breath of fresh air now. And you can get that from the SNZH55. But SNZH55 is heavily inspired by Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Some even call SNZH55 to be a homage to the Fifty Fathoms. Dial

We think wearing the Seiko 55 Fathoms is comfortable. Its strap is stainless steel, which doesn’t collect sweat. Its Swiss counterpart has a high-quality leather strap. It screams money, but the material causes you to sweat. Another issue about leather is that many people are allergic to it. As the material in their straps is so different, this is another thing that doesn’t make them look identical. Dial & Case Its case is closer in size to the Fifty Fathoms than the SNZH57. It’s 1.73 inches (44 mm).This may unfortunately be too big for you if you have smaller wrists. The 3950A.9 will weigh your wrist down. It’s over 15 ounces (425.2 grams). This makes it feel rich, though.

Riding that fine line is not easy. Yet the SNKE01 rides it no problem thanks to its perfectly proportioned bezel, hour indices and very nice looking dauphine hands. The dial is just as attractive as the bezel, with a glossy, almost sunburst-like finish that really works with the faceted baton hour markers. You also get a nice, pronounced trail of minute hash marks, an even distribution of text, and a framed day/date window that really doesn’t feel obtrusive. I should note that the model pictured here is a ‘J’ variant, which features both English and Arabic on the date wheel. I will say that these features – paired with the huge sword hands – make for a very legible dial. Come to think of it, I probably wouldn’t change anything here… except for the lume, which is a little spotty at times.

First comes the issue of price as a proper mod-friendly watch has to be budget-friendly. Otherwise, there’s no point in giving it a premium upgrade.

If you’re not into loud pieces, then this one is definitely for you. The hands and hour indices make it fly under the radar.

If you look at its bezel, you’ll notice toothed edges. They aren’t that prominent. Its duping has more shark-like teeth.

But if you like flieger watches (German pilot watches from the WWII period), you know how difficult it is to find a pilot watch smaller than 42 mm. That means, Seiko SNZH55 already is a decent enough watch that can only get better with proper modding. The picture really doesn’t do it any justice. Not only is this watch a great alternative to the Rolex Datejust. But it doesn’t feel shy doing so! With its 37 mm case, it suits every wrist on the planet. But you also get the 01V0 case which is the best looking and the most comfortable you can get for a Seiko 5.
