Why I put "Seiko" on the dial:

When I first posted my SRPE Salmon Mod, the feedback was mostly positive, although a few questioned the decision, and a few others were downright nasty. Here are my reasons why I think this was the right choice. 

1. I made it clear that the dial is not original. I would never sell a "fake" dial, or pass something off as original that is aftermarket. I knew I had to alter the dial in some way so that people don't end up buying something they think was made by Seiko. Since I didn't want there to be any confusion, I changed the small text at the base of the dial to read "Uncle 4R36." 

2. The watch is still a SEIKO. One thing that always bugged me about putting a different name on an aftermarket dial is that the dial is what informs people of the brand. If I changed the name on the dial to "Uncle" for example, this is now making it seem like Uncle is the brand of watch. But the case is Seiko, the movement is Seiko, the hands are Seiko, etc. Everything is Seiko except the dial, but people demand that to make an homage, you must change the name on the dial, which is representative of everything else? It made much more sense to keep the name on the watch and just alter it (see #1). 

3. The purpose of making this watch is about getting creative with an already existing product and allowing others to have that same enjoyment. Out of all the products I have on the website, the markup on these is the lowest. In other words, I am not making a ton of money on these. I looked at the numbers and wondered if I should do it at all. But I wanted to share my joy with others while making it clear that this is not an all original Seiko product. 

So, I will wear mine with pride and allow others to share in that as well. Thanks for reading!
