If you’re just starting out with SKX007 modding, choosing the right parts can feel overwhelming — from cases and dials to crowns, bezels, and casebacks. In this video, we walk through two real examples, the SRPD79 '5KX' lineup widely modified in different theme colors ” style build and the SPB123 “Alpinist” style, to help you understand how different components fit, function, and affect the final look of your watch.
You’ll learn how to identify compatible SKX007 parts, what to look for when selecting aftermarket components, and how small details — like case profile, crown position, and caseback style — can dramatically change both aesthetics and wearability. Whether you’re aiming for a dive-style build, a dressier field-watch look, or something in between, this guide will help you avoid common beginner mistakes and choose parts that actually work together.
