This is my first modded watch. It's a Parnis Submersible homage. Automatic movement by Seagull. My friend did the Bead blasting and the painting of the bezel.
Steps in Modding the Watch
1. Disassemble the watch and tape the glass and pearl lume on the bezel.
2. Remove movement

Keep in a clean container, you don't want dust to go into the movement |

The results are amazing. It has transformed the watch into something new/different. Also I'm amazed that my Parnis Homage has good water resistance.(Hand wash, Shower) I've also seen an UN-modded submersible be used for swimming but the gaskets were lubed properly.
