My custom Seiko 6309-7040
I have always loved watches, and have just recently started collecting Seiko divers. I have the new SKX007 diver, the "Orange Monster", and a "Sawtooth". I wanted a unique watch, so I asked a friend to create one for me. Here are the pictures of the unveiling.

My custom 6309-7040 arrives from Hong Kong. Noah Fuller has created a masterpiece for me. Now to open the package.
Inside is a beautiful display/travel case that holds my new watch along with a Z-22 flat strap.
And there's my new watch, very well packed and protected.
A closer picture of the watch and rubber strap.
And here is the watch. A custom 6309-7040 from April 1982, now outfitted with new parts and custom black hands.
A trial fit, and the watch looks absolutely stunning.
Lastly, a comparison with my recently restored Citizen yacht timer. It was the watch I was wearing when the Seiko arrived.
Edit - It is with much sadness that I must report Noah has passed away in 2011. He was a great friend and a generous benefactor of the watch community. I hope he finds peace and my condolences are with his friends and family. You will be missed. Naoh's site: http://www.10watches.com/
