A beautiful watch!! Because of its rather shorter lug to lug length, it fits perfectly on my 16 cm wrist. I had been searching for a nice all black watch and this is it! Communication during the tra... See more

very good experience
I have very good experience
made. Very nice communication, individual advice and transparent ordering process. The watch was ready exactly at the time stated. You can tell that Ben loves watches and pays a lot of attention to detail
100% recommended!
Ben was really patient and helpful before I ordered the watch. He did answer all of my questions about the possibilities and really helped with the selection. You can 100% trust Ben. He keeps to his promise: delivery on time, taking care of the shipping costs (to all EU countries I believe) and sharing a good video of the result before shipping so you can approve it. When I received the watch, I was really happy with the result. The moderation looks awesome and solid. It’s even better than I expected. Ben is just a watch enthusiast who wants to make his clients happy. I would definitely select CSWatches again when it’s time for another Seiko mod. 100% recommended!
Excellent watches and excellent…

This was my first foray into the bespoke Seiko world, or watches, for that matter, and Ben produced an outstanding piece that will have me collaborating again in the future. The ease of ordering, the endless combinations, the communication, and the finished product are the epitome of a first class operation. You can’t, and won’t, go wrong working with Ben. From across the pond, many thanks!!
CS Watches
Having looked at various accounts offering custom built watches, Ben was the one I decided to press the button on. The price was more expensive, however from checking out his work it was easy to see why, and the product in hand did not disappoint. Watch looks and feels amazing. Very, very happy with it. Thanks Ben.
Ben's a true homie
First and foremost, I need to make it clear that Ben's the bee's knees. THE CAT'S PAJAMAS.
I've been wanting one of his custom watches for a very long time and when the time came, we got down to business. He showed me his inventory, he made it clear what he could do and what he couldn't do, and he'd make it clear if the price was to go up or down depending on what parts I chose. The communication was constant and clear 24/7. He'd also update me if there would be any sort of delay with making the watch or ordering the parts.
And then I finally got the watch! This thing is absolutely immaculate! It's not like an SKX. A bit smaller, but still super nice. There's some serious definition on the bezel, the insert, the crystal, the hands, and the dial. The dial, funny enough, has no definition. But it allows the other features to really stand out. The crown is great too, but if I had to nit pick, not too much of a fan of how the big crown leaves that area of the case a bit exposed. Nevertheless, that's just me being picky. This is such a lovely timepiece. And the stainless steal chapter ring is SO lovely. The more I wear it, the more this piece actually reminds me of a Yema watch.
Please support this man. His craft is of the highest quality.
Ben is great to work with
Ben is great to work with, he’s on top of communication, mod options, and his attention to detail is impeccable. If you’re considering someone to mod or do a full custom build on your Seiko look no further.

Ben has built 2 custom watches for me so far. The level of workmanship and attention to detail is excellent. Ben keeps you updated with the build and is very knowledgeable about the custom parts required. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a custom watch.

Highly recommend it!
A great person, providing an excellent product with solid communications.
I found Ben informative and easy to work with. His communications were great. From the initial discussion of concept over messages to the delivery of the finished article it felt easy. I now have a great watch, it's better than I had anticipated. Should have any concerns about anything regarding the design and execution of your watch ask...
Great product
Great product, extremely professional, the watch is way more than price can buy.
Amazing watch and top service
Ordered a SKX blackout with grey strap (and orange strap as a spare) watch arrived and it’s beautiful! Whole process so easy, Ben gives great communication and advice, clearly knows his stuff and even sends a video before despatch. I’m already saving for my next custom watch
