Just received this cool custom diver, based on a Seiko SKX007, but customized/modified by Bill Yao of mkiiwatches.com inline with the "UsualSuspect.net Watch"-project.

I noticed that Mk II Watches does an AR coated saphire crystal. Very cool.

Wow. Are those hands that bright in person? I didnt notice the USN watch, and I'm loitering over there quite a bit...

Yao's got a cool website for you to experiment with the customised look that you want.

Dan,

Yeah, the high-vis green sword hands are that bright in person! That's what I really like about the watch, the green hands contrasting against the black dial. And you should see the lume that Bill applied...kicks ***...

The only possible change I could imagine, is possibly have requested that the seconds hand be tipped high-vis yellow or orange; but I can definitely live with it as is...
