Questions, Answered

Everything worth knowing before you build.

What is a chapter ring on a watch?

The chapter ring is the ring that sits between the dial edge and the case, carrying the minute and hour markings around the dial. On SEIKO's SKX models it's a plastic part from the factory; ours is machined brass with printed markings for a crisper, more finished look. Swapping it is one of the simplest cosmetic upgrades in a Seiko mod — a small part with a big effect on how sharp the dial side reads.

Will this chapter ring fit my SKX007?

Yes — it's a direct replacement for the SKX007's original plastic chapter ring, sized as original. It also fits the SKX009, SKX011, SKX171, SKX173, SKX175, our 42mm Diver's watch case, and all 7S26-0020 watch cases.

Does the SKX007 chapter ring have an alignment pin?

Yes — like the original, it keeps the protruding pin at the base that locates the ring and holds the hour and minute markers in alignment with the dial. Fitting is as per the OEM part: seat the pin and the ring sits exactly where SEIKO intended.

Helped give my skx mod the minimal look I was shooting for!

Its basically exactly what you think, all black and brushed look. If you wanna have your watch have a more minimal look, it’ll be perfect.

I found it strange when you ordered a silver mirror polished pilot bezel and a brushed back chapter ring. But now I know why. This is really inspirational mod. Fantastic job Miguel! Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous black out style!

This is a must for modders who want the blackout version of SKX. This chapter ring is subtle. But that subtlety is a must for blackout SKX you can possibly dreamed of. Make no mistake, the quality is outstanding!

Stunning all black mod Willy!! Great job! Thanks again.

Bravo

I recently purchased a brushed black chapter ring for my SKX (stock item was misaligned) and I am thrilled with the results. It arrived on time and with a thoughtful handwritten note from Adriel. This man is a consummate professional and clearly cares about his customers and their experience with his products. I will definitely be back for more in the future.

Perfect Finish!

I was looking for a chapter ring to replace the damaged one in my customer’s watch and this one fit the bill. Once I installed it I was very pleased to see how the brushed finish stood out through the black coloring. It was the perfect finish to the customer’s watch!

Hey Nathan! Bet your customer is going to love the mod you made. Thanks again for your awesome review! =D

Companion to the "Great Wave" Day Date dial

I purchased this item to go with my custom "Great Wave off Kanagawa" day date dial. It looks to be of excellent quality and I can't wait to have them both installed.

Thanks Keith! Can't want to see your Great Wave mod.
