Watch Mods: G-Shock Roundup
26 Oct 2012 by w&w / 1 Comment
While G-Shocks and digital watches of the like don’t often make it to the pages of worn&wound, we can’t deny their popularity. People of all stripes and interests go wild for G-Shocks, and unsurprisingly, a fairly robust community of G-Shock enthusiasts has developed online. Having spent some time looking at the G-Shock forums and sites, we discovered that there are some AMAZING G-Shock mod tutorials out there, covering everything from basic case refinishing to more complicated mods that require cracking open the watch case. So, to make it easier for worn&wound readers to get their fill of G-Shock mods, we’ve put together a collection of some of our favorites.

Watch Mods: Fewsome Watches

Watch modding can be a scary process. For those of us who are not avid DIY’ers, cracking open a watch and tinkering with its components is a bit overwhelming. Thankfully, there are those semi-professional modders out there, like our favorite Yobokies, who offer pre-modded pieces or will mod a piece to your liking. I recently came across a different type of watch customization service called Fewsome, which lets you create a one of a kind timepiece at an astoundingly affordable price.

From Pocket Watch to Wrist Watch
16 Jul 2012 by jenloe / 1 Comment
Those of us who enjoy watches (and you’re a member of this club if you read this blog) know that before the advent of the wristwatch, pocket watches were the way gentlemen (and yes, ladies) kept an eye on the time. In fact the pocket watch has existed since at least the early 1500′s, a fact that would surprise most non-watch nerds. -
Watch Mods: Luxury Watch Modding
08 Jun 2012 by w&w / 2 Comments
I’ve always thought of watch modding as a bit of a double-edged sword. Its great to see a unique, often one-of-a-kind take on a watch, but its also a little painful to see a perfectly good Seiko get torn open. Frankly, a part of me thinks it was fine just the way it was. But at the end of the day, with most watch mods, you’re dealing with watches that cost under $200 or even $100, so no big deal, right? But what about modding a watch valued at 20, 30 or 40 times that?

A few weeks ago we posted our first watch mod update with a really nice example of a home modded Seiko SNK. For those of you not quite brave enough to put your own watch under the knife, there are many options to buy a pre-modded piece or have one of your own watches altered by a professional. Dagaz Watch Ltd. is one such custom watch, parts and tools seller that makes some really beautiful pieces.
