Modded SKX013 arrived today.
First off, very impressed with Oliver's services and would recommend.
Not to be a Debbie downer, but overall thoughts are; 1) I should have kept the OG black bezel, 2) I should have eaten the cost of ordering another set of hands with a white marker pip instead of the green. The green section is brighter and more pronounced under the crystal than I anticipated.
On the positive; 1) it'll be nice to wear a watch that tells the correct time and I like the hacking. 2) Definitely prefer the black day/date. I was worried that you'd loose the counterbalance of the 9 o'clock marker, but the white text makes it work. 3) bar the green pip the hands were the right choice. The brushed look works better with the rest of the watch and I always disliked the skx013's seconds hand.
Not sure if it is, but the aftermarket crown seems bigger. On the fence on whether I prefer it or the OG.
So overall happy. But if I get it serviced at some point in the future I'll probably see if I can get the second hand replaced with one without the green.
