What do you think? Just put my MM200 movement into SKX case

I love the dial and hands on my MM200, but find.the case a little long and the lugs a bit pointy and sharp.
I also love the shape and fit of my SKX and old school aluminium bezel insert.
Today I took the plunge and morphed them together. The trail begins...

Magnificent. Where did you get the dial and the hands?
Thanks

Looks great - I agree w/ you on the aluminum insert, it has a nice understated look compared to how shiny most ceramic inserts are.

I'm usually not at all impressed by mods, but I actually like what you did here. Maybe because it's such a subtle change.

If it were me I'd probably swap the SKX hands back on... or get some matte finish turtle hands.

if i had a mm200 I'd not swap it into an skx... I actually have both.. I like my MM200 the way it is (in my case SPB105J1 in glorious green and a stock look on my SKX's) .. I haven't really seen many SKX mods that really did it for me personally...

but it is your watch(es) suit yourself really.
Unfortunately, the MM200 moniker now covers two completely different models. I agree with @atarione regarding the SPB105. I have myself the SPB185, it's completely untouched, and the case is fantastic in looks and fit. The 'older' MM200 didn't do it for me on wrist, hence the swap into the skx case. I no longer have the 'old' mm200 and Namoki mods have a case similar to the spb 185/187 so the original skx now resides in that.
