Frogman stealth-modding project - Watchuseek, world's largest & most visited Watch Forum site

Sedi · April 2nd, 2009

Hi,
so I have started my Frogman modding project.
The background:
When I bought my first Dw-8200 standard Frogman on the bay judging from the pix the bezel and strap looked pretty worn so even before I got the Froggy I looked for a new bezel and strap but could only find a set for the DW-8200BK so I bought it. Then when the Froggy arrived the strap and bezel were in a much better shape than I expected so I had a spare set of strap and bezel. Happy coincidence - just a few days later a 'naked' DW-8200 popped up on the bay that I instantly bought for a fair price.
So then I have to admit I had a watchmaker stealth the display because for one I didn't have the right tools to open it plus I was kind of frightened to take out the module myself. Today I picked up the inverted module - now I wanna spray-paint the case in a matte black and put on the black bezel and strap. It isn't finished yet but I'll keep the thread updated:

So what do you guys think?

Greetings, Sedi
