I have to say that is one sweet watch. A watch like that, were it a bit smaller, could bring me back into the Seiko fold.
Enjoy!

Thanks guys!
I like the emperor in all black but it was just a bit to ''LUMINOX'' looking for my taste IMO. I did not want to flip it since I like everything about the emperor's style. So I took my courage in both hands and started to mod it. Now I'm just crazy about it!

I then looked up the anodizing color chart to know the voltage to use to get a nice bronze like color and I zapped the titanium!
Here's my simple setup just before I filled it up with coca cola. Black negative wire on aluminium foil, Red positive wire on the titanium part. Dip the part in the coca cola for 3-4 seconds and you're anodizing titanium! Just dont touch the aluminium foil with the titanium part!
