Assembling a Complete Custom Bronze "Root Beer" Seiko SKX - Seiko Mod

Seiko Mods have become an accessible hobby among watch enthusiasts and collectors. A community and parts supply chain has formed around modifying Seiko SKX series watches. While the SKX has been discontinued - even Seiko quietly acknowledges this by making their new Seiko 5 diver line fully compatible with SKX parts. Watch me build and describe the process while putting together my Bronze "Root Beer" SKX Build from aftermarket parts, and regulate the movement.
