You could counter by saying that you get something bespoke and lets you add over time...
...but when so many end up as Subs, Sinns, or Tudors I do wonder what the point it - especially Sinns and Tudors. Also the middle range Seikos are so similar sizing to the SKX007/9 and tend to be better with better movements, so I wonder why not just buy those?
At the moment I'm keeping my modding desires in check by trying to "stay true" to the og ethos / vibe of the SKX (that sentence makes me a little bit sick) which is why I'm not sure about things like ceramic bezel inserts.
All that said I am currently trying to get a sub-style bezel... for a watch I've just put an Oyster bracelet on... but that's because I think the bezel is pretty weak - a bit too shiny and slippy - I've started using it a lot and am now really noticing it.
No one seems to comment on the bigger SKX007/009 bezel, so I wonder if it works better being a little bigger.

I looked at modding an SKX for about five minutes and then I saw what you can get a turtle for. So I bought a turtle.
People like the skunkworks/personalisation factor though isn’t it, like a Golf with many dollar thrown into modding it instead of buying something actually good/fast in the first place.

Tell people on r/watches that. Some people have multiple $1k+ modded SKX’s. I don’t get it. Just buy the watch you’re imitating.
