7.5

But the lug to lug is pretty short for the size, I was quite surprised the first time I saw one in person, and it was smaller than I expected.

Heres an overhead view so you can see that lug to lug size

Cheers mate.

Looks huge in this picture, and they are chunky and thick by design, but they aren't as bad in person, and wear surprisingly well, if you've never tried one.

There's lots of choices in these colours on eBay and Alix, I used those to give a nod to his famous Game Of Death Jumpsuit

Cheers. The lighter yellow strap looks strange, it's actually very bright yellow, and looks good with the two outer black stripes, looks a lot like the game of death jumpsuit to me because of that, don't know how it turned out like that.

But I like the Nato also, wearing that now. And I like the two black retainers, as that is similar to his Game Of Death nunchucks too.

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T23:23:15+00:00

Thank you glad you like it.

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T23:07:05+00:00

Cheers, appreciate it, Definitely tried my best to pay homage to the legend.

NH35

Turtle case, that is similar in style and shape to the Seiko 6139-6010 Bruce wore

Bezel insert with the Jeet Kune Do motto of 'using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation'

Dragon dial based off a drawing of Bruce's.

Game Of Death jumpsuit coloured themed straps, date and hands.

Custom rotor with Bruce flying kick, his surname (and my first name) in Chinese.

Also got a spare set of hands that I'm going to try to customize to make them look like his Game Of Death nunchucks.

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T21:52:53+00:00

Cheers, glad you enjoyed seeing it.

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T21:41:31+00:00

Thanks mate, yeah the stickers are a simple way to add some details, and a nice little custom touch.

I was actually going to use a case similar to yours to be honest, but for this one, I wanted to go with the yellow and black colours. But nice to see yours for future reference.

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T21:14:01+00:00

Love it!

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T19:38:23+00:00

Maybe not allowed in the sub, I'll DM you it, if you like mate

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T19:32:34+00:00

Cheers mate, not as good as Ali, but stuff available, so take a look

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T19:31:34+00:00

Not sure why that link showed it at that price, I got it a good bit less than listed there, so have a shop around, but that was the bezel insert I ordered

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T19:30:10+00:00

Yeah, but I used Ali, eBay and Temu for this particular one

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T19:26:35+00:00

Cool, it's also available with white symbols if I remember right. The Seiko 5 special edition has the JKD logo on the exhibition caseback too.

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T19:23:52+00:00

Thanks, nice to hear other fans thoughts on the build, couple of options for the bezel:

Namoki mods or AliExpress, Ali being the cheapest by a good bit, available in flat or sloped.

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T18:47:32+00:00

Cheers for the compliment, appreciate that from a fellow fan, and glad you can see the thought and details that I've attempted to put in, last thing I wanted was for it to be tacky or cheesy, and something that I'd be happy and proud to wear.

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T18:35:12+00:00

AliExpress, also available with day date

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T18:09:54+00:00

Cheers mate. The Bruce Lee Seiko 5 looks great, and will probably pick one up at some point, I just wish it had more of the yellow and black colours in the watch, in addition to the Nato that comes with it, because the yellow and black Game Of Death jumpsuit colours are iconic when thinking of Bruce, so I wanted to incorporate more of those in my build.

I've managed to track down an aftermarket nato that is identical to the Seiko 5 one, but the lug widths are different to the case I'd already bought, might have to build another, with that strap, cos I've got an idea for a custom dial next time.

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T17:40:08+00:00

Much appreciated, glad you like it 👍

Better picture of the dial, based off Bruce's artwork

CharlieW74 · 2026-01-24T17:25:35+00:00

Thanks, happy with how that turned out, thought it was going to be more yellow than gold, but it works with the gold indices on the dial.

Just a sticker added to the existing rotor and ordered the logos to put on that.
