Custom Watch Builds

We can help you design your watch from the ground up personalising the watch to your taste, giving you a “one-off” timepiece for your wrist.

Every aspect of the watch can be tailored for you using the highest quality parts from our trusted suppliers. From the external parts like the style of case, sapphire crystal, bezel & insert, crown and case back to the internal parts like the dial, hands and the automatic movement that powers your watch.

The external parts can also be finished to you liking too. If you want something different to the standard brushed/polished finish then we offer bead blast finishes from matt to a satin finish or we can even change the colour using the worlds leading thin film ceramic coating Cerakote(TM). All done in house here at Tempus Watch Mods. finally, we can also engrave the case back of your watch with any logo, design or text for the final personal touch.

Once your watch is built it will be pressure tested and the movement will be regulated for optimum accuracy.

All work is fully guaranteed (see FAQ section for details).

To get an idea for the design of your build please browse our instagram account for inspiration and refer to the FAQ and trusted suppliers list to see what parts you would like. Then simply contact us with the specs for a quote.

Watch Modification

The watch modding community has been a growing subculture in the watch enthusiasts world for many years now. Mainly focussed on models from the Seiko range such as the iconic SKX or SRP and SNZ(X) lines. Other brands like Orient and Vostock can be modified too but the sheer number of parts and upgrades available for the respected Seiko brand makes them the undisputed king of the modding fraternity.

Love the SRP777 but don’t like the hardlex glass and stock bezel insert? Changing to a sapphire crystal and ceramic insert is no problem.

Have an SKX007 but want to liven it up with a new dial and hands set? theres plenty of choice for that too.

Pretty much every part on the popular models can be changed to turn your stock Seiko into a one off piece.

Labour Price List

Prices listed below are for labour only and exclude any parts. This is a general guide for the most frequently requested work and does not include any shipping costs.

Prices are listed as individual jobs but some of the processes are duplicated when doing things like Cerakote(TM) and bead blasting work. For instance if you were having a watch Cerakoted and then built back up with a new crystal then the cost of Cerakoting would cover the labour of fitting the crystal as it is removed as part of the process. Also if you are having a movement upgrade then the price would include dial, hands and day/date disks.
