On the more obscure side I like to fiddle with wrist watches by adding aftermarket parts and modifying their overall look.

Could you elaborate a bit? Or post some pictures of mods you made?

Yeah so an example of throwing on aftermarket parts:

Start with your base watch, I picked up a cheap Invicta dive watch like so https://files.catbox.moe/bnxgcp.jpg

Slap on some aftermarket hands, bezel, faced, and sand the bracelet for a nice brushed finish. https://files.catbox.moe/mo52xw.jpg

This is a watch restoration I was attempting. Did a poor job but learned quite a bit. https://files.catbox.moe/9bv3pa.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/2kwaka.jpg

If you're interested, check out /r/seikomods. Reddit has a pretty awesome community for it.

Nice not aware of this little niche hobby. I prefer not wearing watches, personally, but thanks for the insight, that's pretty cool.
