Здравствуйте, дорогие мои пчёлки!
Настало время написать о том, что я съёбываю отсюдова буду появляться здесь ещё реже. Дневник не удаляется, комментарии будут закрытыми, личка открыта. Возможно, будут репосты с других ресурсов, где я буду активна.
Ежедневные молитвы, которые должен читать каждый православный, чтобы впустить благополучие в дом свой
[250x]
Отче наш
Отче наш, Иже еси на небесех!
Да святится имя Твое; да приидет царствие Твое; да будет воля Твоя, яко на небеси, и на земли; хлеб наш насущный даждь нам днесь; и остави нам долги наша, якоже и мы оставляем должником нашим; и не введи нас во искушение, но избави нас от лукаваго. Яко Твое есть царство, и сила, и слава во веки веков.
Аминь.
Богородице Дево, радуйся.
Богородице Дево, радуйся, Благодатная Марие, Господь с Тобою, Благословенна Ты в женах и благословен плод чрева Твоего, яко Спаса родила еси душ наших.
Молитва ангелу-хранителю
Ангеле Божий, хранителю мой святый, на соблюдение мне от Господа с небесе данный, прилежно молю Тя, Ты мя днесь просвети и от всякого зла сохрани, ко благому деянию настави и на путь спасения направи. Аминь.
Молитва Святому, имя которого носишь
Технически, идея в том, чтобы дублировать сюда кусочки проекта Хмурое Утро. Просто потому что здесь выглядит лучше, чем в ВК.
Ну и может часть дополнительных мыслей добавить.
Но пока сижу и охреневаю от Битрикса и проект всё откладывается и откладывается...
Грусть. Тоска. Слёзоньки Бородатого Мужика. Это, кстати, подраздел Хмурого Утра Бородатого Мужика.
Я даже толком не понимаю работает ли сейчас Лиру. И вообще что здесь происходит. Столько воды утекло с тех пор как я стал здесь что-то писать. Многое изменилось. Я уже не в отношениях со Светой Погориловской. Я научился жить один и не переживать по этому поводу. Научился мечтать и любить себя. Это было самым трудным. В одном я точно не поменялся. На протяжении жизни я пишу свой дневник на разных носителях и цифровых и аналоговых. Возможно я некоторым образом сам себе психолог. Мои старые записи напоминают мне о том каким я был и чего хотел. Это бесценно. Спасибо тебе Лиру. Ещё увидимся.
In the ever-evolving world of watch modding, few names have gained traction as quickly and authentically as Santos Seiko Mods. For those who appreciate craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the freedom to express personal style through timepieces, Santos delivers a unique and powerful value proposition.
What Are Seiko Mods?
Before diving into what makes Santos Seiko Mods special, it’s worth revisiting the core of the trend: Seiko modding.
Seiko modding is the art of customizing a Seiko watch—usually based on iconic models like the SKX, SRPD, or NH35-powered builds—using aftermarket or OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts. Enthusiasts swap out dials, hands, bezels, crystals, cases, and even movements to create one-of-a-kind watches that reflect their tastes.
Think of it as the horological equivalent of custom car culture. You're not just wearing a watch—you’re wearing your watch.
Who Is Santos?
Santos Seiko Mods began as a passion project by a group of skilled modders and designers who were tired of mass-market sameness. Their philosophy is rooted in quality, design integrity, and accessibility. While many premium modders charge prices comparable to luxury Swiss brands, Santos aims to offer affordable custom-built watches with luxury-level aesthetics and reliable mechanics.
With an average price of around $300, Santos Seiko Mods brings serious value to the table. Every watch is assembled by hand using tested movements, carefully curated components, and eye-catching designs that stand out without screaming for attention.
The Design Language: Bold, Minimal, and Mechanical
The Santos aesthetic is clean and mechanical, often blending modern design with subtle vintage cues. Their catalog includes:
-
Diver mods inspired by the SKX007 and Submariner lines
-
Pilot and field watch mods with legible dials and rugged builds
-
Dressy builds with skeleton dials, sunburst finishes, or cathedral hands
-
Stealth and blackout builds with PVD cases and minimalist markers
Unlike some modders who focus on flashy designs or over-the-top colorways, Santos maintains a tasteful restraint. Their watches are bold but never gaudy. Whether you prefer a storm grey diver with gold accents or a jet-black field watch with red hands, you’ll find an option that feels engineered, not just decorated.
Movement Matters
At the heart of most Santos builds is the Seiko NH35 or NH36 automatic movement—workhorses known for reliability, accuracy, and ease of maintenance. These movements have hacking seconds, hand-winding capability, and solid 41-hour power reserves.
Each movement is regulated before installation, ensuring your watch doesn't just look good—it keeps time like a pro. Some higher-end builds even offer upgraded Miyota or Sellita movements, making Santos a legit competitor to microbrands priced 2–3x higher.
Craftsmanship & Assembly
Every Santos Seiko Mod is hand-assembled by skilled watchmakers who understand the nuances of water resistance, torque pressure, alignment, and dial positioning. Cases are pressure-tested to ensure real-world durability. Bezels align precisely. Lume application is uniform. Crystal installation is clean with zero dust under the glass.
The attention to detail you'd expect from a $1,000+ watch? You’ll find it here, in a $300 mod.
The Custom Experience
What truly sets Santos apart is their modding service. You can choose from existing builds or collaborate with the team to create a fully customized watch. Want a titanium case, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, waffle dial, and sword hands—all in black and gold? They’ll build it.
The custom process typically includes:
-
Consultation – Share your vision, budget, and preferences.
-
Part Selection – Choose components from their catalog or source specific parts.
-
Mockup – You’ll receive digital renderings to approve your design.
-
Assembly & QC – Your watch is built, tested, and shipped.
It’s a smooth, transparent process that
In the world of custom watchmaking, Seiko mods have carved out a passionate niche. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just diving into the world of horology, the appeal of building or owning a modified Seiko watch lies in its blend of reliability, affordability, and infinite customization. Among the many styles that have emerged, the Aquanaut Seiko mod has become one of the most popular and visually striking variations.
But what exactly is an Aquanaut Seiko mod, and why has it become such a favorite among modders and enthusiasts?
What is the Aquanaut?
To understand the essence of the Aquanaut Seiko mod, we need to take a step back and look at its inspiration.
The Patek Philippe Aquanaut, introduced in 1997, is a luxury sports watch known for its rounded octagonal case, tropical rubber strap, and minimalist dial design. It was created as a younger, more modern counterpart to the famed Nautilus and quickly became a cult favorite due to its sleek design and casual luxury appeal.
With demand for genuine Aquanauts far outstripping supply—and with prices soaring into the tens of thousands—many in the modding community turned to Seiko to replicate that same sporty elegance at a more accessible price point.
Enter the Aquanaut Seiko Mod
A Seiko Aquanaut mod takes the robust, reliable core of a Seiko automatic movement—often the NH35 or 7S26—and outfits it with custom parts to closely resemble the iconic Aquanaut design. This includes:
-
A rounded octagonal case (often 39mm–41mm)
-
A waffle-style dial reminiscent of Patek's tropical texture
-
Applied indices and clean, modern hands
-
A rubber strap that mimics the Aquanaut’s tropical vibe
-
Sapphire crystal and screw-down crown for durability
While it may visually resemble the Aquanaut, the Seiko mod version is often built for more rugged daily wear, with better water resistance and shock tolerance—thanks to the hardy Seiko DNA beneath the surface.
Why Mod the Aquanaut Style?
The Aquanaut mod strikes a unique balance between sophistication and sportiness. For watch fans who appreciate minimalist luxury but need a tool watch that can take a beating, this mod hits the sweet spot.
Key Reasons People Choose Aquanaut Seiko Mods:
-
Affordable Luxury
Genuine Aquanauts cost tens of thousands. With a Seiko mod, you can get a similar look and feel for under $400. -
Customization Options
From dial colors (black, green, blue, or even gradient tones) to strap textures and lume styles, Aquanaut mods allow full personalization. -
Everyday Wearability
While many luxury watches feel too delicate or valuable for daily use, a Seiko Aquanaut mod can handle the beach, gym, office, or dinner date. -
Conversation Starter
It’s unique enough to catch attention and spark curiosity without being flashy or pretentious.
