Yeah the quality of the mod is also a consideration for me. I've searched for the individual parts for makeing such modded Seiko, but the price isn't cheaper anywhere, so I thought if I'm going to buy one maybe just buy from someone who has done the assembly so I can save some time from troubles during the modding process.

But yeah Casio seems to be more solid in case of the quality.

 

I really like how Cartier Santos look, the shinning square metal bezel is just so beautiful, and I like the blue hands on the white face too. But there's no way for me to afford a Cartier watch, so I've always wanted to get a Seiko Mod version of Santos to get that kind of look.

Then I see the Full Metal G-Shock video by Britt Pearce. The square one GMW-B5000D-1ER reminds me the Santos immediatly. Especially when the bracelet has very similar design.

The finished Seiko mod Santos usually sells around $300~$350, and the Square Full Metal G-Shock sells around $450. How do you guys think of these 2 watches? If I'm going to get one of them, which one should I get?

Thank you! I've never thought of checking on Aliexpress. Will dig around this site!

 

So my girlfriend was looking into this watch from one of our local fashion brand, which has some of decisions on its design makes me feel cheap and lazy.

It has 42mm diameter and runs a quartz movement, probably a Miyota. 304 stainless steel strap and watch case, sapphire crystal and claimed to have ceramic bezel but idk; 2cm thick and 10atm water resistance, sells around $230.

She likes it mainly because of its colour and slightly busy watch face. Her wrist size isn't particularly large around 17~18cm, but she doesn't mind the large case like this. She prefer stainless steel strap but I can always buy her a spare one if it doesn't comes with.

I would like to know if you guys have any recommendation of watches in a similar style and price range. Either fashion brand or not, quartz or mechanics are fine. Just to give her more options. Thank you all!
