FAQS

WHAT IS A SEIKO MOD WATCH ?

A Seiko Mod watch is a customized version of a standard Seiko watch. The term "MOD" comes from "modification". These modifications are generally made for those who wish to personalize their watch according to their specific tastes or needs. Modifications can vary considerably, from minor aesthetic changes to more complex technical revisions. What makes Seiko watches particularly amenable to modification is the wide availability of spare parts. This abundance of components enables a wide range of customization, making each Seiko MOD watch unique.

WHAT MOVEMENTS DO YOU USE?

We use Japanese movements, especially Seiko automatic movements, which are celebrated for their dependability, accuracy, and long-lasting performance.

Movements we use at Prestige Watches:

  • NH35-NH36-NH38 Automatic Movements
  • VK63 Mechanical Movement

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Each custom timepiece is hand built To ensure the highest possible standards, we have a lead time of 3 - 4 weeks from the date of order to shipment. This allows us to carry out the necessary quality control procedures and ensure that your watch is made to your satisfaction.

All orders placed through our website are subject to the given lead time even if the item is shown as "In stock".

Each watch is assembled by hand piece by piece in a completely handmade way by an expert with more than 15 years of experience.

DO YOU OFFER A WARRANTY?

Every watch manufactured in our workshop comes with a free one year warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and operating problems under normal use.

For added peace of mind, you can also purchase a 2-year warranty extension.

However, it does not cover scratches, damage from opening the watch, or water resistance issues, as our watches are not designed for swimming or similar activities.

To ensure the longevity of your watch, we recommend avoiding such activities.

The warranty only covers defects in the movement, it does not cover any other part of the watch*

WHAT ARE THE ESTIMATED DELIVERY TIMES?

We offer delivery worldwide. All our watches are assembled and shipped from our workshop.

For international shipments the estimated delivery time is around 10 days.

If you have purchased an accessory from our shop, please note that this will be sent in a separate package from your watch, as due to weight and size of the package we have to do it this way, so the reception of both packages may have some days of difference*

As soon as your order is ready for dispatch, we will systematically send you your tracking number by email. This will enable you to follow the progress of your order at every stage of the delivery process, for a transparent and reassuring experience.

ARE THEY WATERPROOF?

Our watches are designed with a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, which makes them suitable for everyday use and able to withstand splashes or brief immersion in water.

However, they are not intended for swimming or taking baths.

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your watch, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water.

ARE THEY ORIGINAL WATCHES?

We use genuine Seiko Movements to create unique watches inspired by top designs.

Our watches are not replicas and we are not affiliated with the Seiko brand in any way.

SIZE GUIDE

Measure your wrist size.

 

  • 01.Have a strip of paper.
  • 02.Wrap it around the wrist where you will wear the Prestige watch.
  • 03.Using a pen, note the point where the paper forms a circle around your wrist.
  • 04.Using a ruler, measure the distance from this point to the other end of the strip of paper.

Which case diameter should I choose?

Choosing the right watch case size according to your wrist circumference is essential for comfort and aesthetics. A case that is too small can seem lost, while a case that is too large can be awkward. An appropriate size ensures a comfortable fit, enhances the watch and allows better readability.

Sizes Wrist circumference (mm) Wrist circumference (in) Recommended case diameter
XS < 150 < 5.9 36 mm
S 150 - 165 5.9 - 6.4 36 mm
M 165 - 180 6.4 - 7.0 40 - 36 mm
L > 180 > 7.0 40 mm
