Uncle's notes: In my continual hunt for rare SARB variants, I have tried to provide close alternatives for modders who can't find (or afford) the real deal. While some have issues with this, I genuinely love these limited edition releases and want to make them more widely available for people to enjoy. It is a limited run, so grab one before they're gone. What's included: One dial/chapter ring. Why I put "Seiko" on the dial. When I first posted my SARB037US 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 a reproduction. 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 6R15 - SARB011 US." 2. The watch is still a Seiko. One thing that always bugged me about putting a different name on a reproduction 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 Seiko fan-base will benefit from this. I know there are guys out there like me who love to geek-out with Seiko and also create what they wish Seiko had made. A main motivator for making these accessible is to see the joy that others can gain from this great hobby of ours. I get a thrill when I see someone's gushing post about how much they love their new Mod. It makes it all worth it. What is it compatible with? Until I hear otherwise, these will only be a match for the SARB03x case.
