How time flies! As namokiMODS celebrates its 5th anniversary, let's take a moment to reflect on what keeps us going, and why thousands of modders across the world trust us as their source for Seiko modification parts. We haven't been around for the longest time, but in the (relatively) short time we've been open for business, we'd like to think that we've quickly become one of the more popular watch modding sources worldwide. Warning: this article is going to consist mostly of us tooting our own horn 😎

 

Our Devotion to Detail

 

If you're into Seiko or watch modding in general, then we don't need to tell you that it's all about the fine details. It's the precision and delicate intricacies that we, just like you, can't get enough of. It's the little things makes your watch different from everybody else's. What colours the hands glow. What material your bezel insert is made from. The precise height of your sapphire crystal, and how it pairs perfectly with the rest of your watch. How to mix polished and brushed finishes on a watch case. We obsess over the products that we develop, curate, and sell.

Driven by Innovation

Our Titanium case, personally anodized by our customer

 

We all love a good shakeup, don't we? There's something thrilling about creating something that stands out from the crowd. Some of our proudest moments include developing the first slim caseback (Yes, we know everybody sells these now, but we'll have you know we did it first!) and the very first Grade 5 titanium SKX007 watch case. We believe modding should be exciting and a little unexpected – that's the real fun of it. 

Compatibility is Key

 

NH compatible parts are everywhere these days, but we decided to go one step further. When it comes to watch modding, we believe that compatibility with a variety of parts is important. That's why we design products to be compatible with the modification parts from the rest of our catalog. So you can build a watch, disassemble it once you get bored with it, and freshen it up with something else that tickles your fancy. And as watch modders and tinkerers, we know the itch to switch it up comes often.

 

Our Customers at the Heart

 

We know modding isn't rocket science, but it sure has its ups and downs. There are times when parts just won't fit or when things unfortunately break. But overcoming these obstacles? That's what makes the final result even more rewarding.

We stand by you and our products. That's why we offer a 1-year warranty on all our items – we're confident about the quality we deliver. Plus, our customer support team will always try our best to help whenever you hit a snag. That's a promise.

All About Community
