Watch Mods
What is a Watch Mod?
A watch mod is a luxury timepiece hand-assembled using a prestigious TMI automatic movement, paired with high-quality aftermarket components, often crafted from 904L stainless steel - the finest available. If you've dreamed of owning a luxury watch, Watch mods make those designs accessible to a wider audience without the use of counterfeit products, always prioritising the highest quality materials.
Is it Original?

Can I adjust the size of the bracelet/change at a later date?

Is it possible to remove the logos?
Absolutely. We offer the option for all watches to be bought with or without the logos, not as a substitute for any other watches, but as timeless designs using dependable TMI and Aftermarket parts. When clicking on a watch, there is an option to click a branded dial or no logos. If you would like a different logo or have any questions please just get in contact.
Can I customise my own watch?
Yes you can! You can pick absolutely every part and I’ll hand assemble, including; bracelet, case, dial, hands & more! If you have any inspiration pictures don’t be afraid to send directly to me, please contact me on WhatsApp or Instagram to begin. More information can be found on the customise your own watch page.
Do you offer Samples?
If we have created the watch you're looking for before, I have plenty of videos and photos of that specific design. However, I don’t ship out samples due to the cost, so you'll need to make your decision based on the available videos and images.
How long does it take to make my custom watch?
On average, the process takes 7-15 days. However, this is an estimate, and the timeline may vary. To break it down: it takes x days for the parts to arrive, 1-3 days for me to assemble the watch, and then you can select your preferred delivery time. If your purchasing pre-owned watches they will be dispatched next working day with a tracking number. If your purchasing accessories they may take 1-2 weeks to arrive. If there is a delay on your order we will get in contact and let you know.
Do you offer watches for women?
Absolutely, browse our ladies watch mod collection here!
Where are the watches assembled?
The watches are all assembled by hand in London, England.
Are the watches waterproof?
Most Watches are waterproof up to 100m deep, some watches may only be 50m deep depending on design and some even go up to 300m deep (specifically the Marinemaster Models), All Watches will be fitted with an external lubricated gasket and most have screw-down crowns, both these factors allow for maximum waterproof. Although no client has ever contacted us complaining of their watch being water damaged please still be careful when swimming with specific models as we cannot test water resistance at our facility. Warranty isn’t included when it comes to damage via water.
Are their any sales or discounts currently?
Sales on current watches and accessories can be found by browsing the top of the home page and many other pages, if your curious about potential ways to get future discounts then please contact me via my private direct messages on Instagram where I can personally inform you on any current deals.
What parts do you use?
The origins of all movements can be traced back to the esteemed Japenese TMI, which may feature the NH35 or VK63 movements. The crystal adorning these timepieces is none other than the renowned Sapphire Crystal, known for its unparalleled quality and scratch-resistant properties. Stainless steel variations are meticulously crafted from either 316L or 904L stainless steel, synonymous with excellence and luxury. Should further inquiries arise regarding other components, kindly reach out to us.
