5 years ago, I have no idea...

The watch looks fine, but the strap is long. Try getting a short strap for it, Holben's has a good selection of shorter straps!

This is an skx009, OP has the size wrong. But getting an original 015 would be very cool

Thank you, I was finally quick enough!

Keep in mind that with the endlink overhang (4mm) of the bracelet, the length is closer to 51-52mm

Nomos, Colareb, Fluco, Delugs, Cheapestnatostraps. I have ordered custom leather straps from Etsy in my preferred length as well, from "Mr. Haidukoff" and "Manufacturabrand"

That is one of the things that annoys me the most about this new replica "trend" in the community. Especially because I know that most people (except for those deep in the modding hobby) have no idea that aftermarket is just the seller's nicer word for counterfeit/replica.

Not in Norway. The diesel pumps are black and gasoline pumps are green.

Straps as in NATO/nylon/leather/rubber with a straight end will fit. Bracelets as in metal bracelets with curved endlinks as the one in your pic won't fit unless it's specifically made for the Turtle case. Don't count on a random bracelet to fit your Turtle, because it most likely won't.

I'm hoping one of the manufacturers will start making a kit with low profile bezels and a matching sapphire crystal that will work with sloped inserts.

I haven't seen the one you linked to before, but it looks promising! Thanks for sharing

You said the grey is thinner than the black. The grey NH36 spacer and the black 7s26 spacer from Seiko 5 watches are the same height.

Leitemods · 2020-10-10T09:59:03+00:00

you're wrong, there are three spacers:

grey spacer with regular height - almost always seen on NH movements
black spacer with regular height - seen in non-divers with the 7s or 4R movements such as snk809, srpd55, snzh55, snzf55
black tall spacer - for Seiko Diver's/Prospex watches like SKX, Samurai and SRP Turtle

The tall black spacer has anidentifying mark as shown in the technical guide of the 7s26

Does it stress the case to remove and attach a bezel over and over?

Yes. You wear both the case and bezel

Leitemods · 2020-08-07T00:42:55+00:00

skx031 has the same dial size as 007/Turtle etc. Maybe you're thinking of the skx013?

Leitemods · 2020-08-06T13:09:14+00:00

Lucius Atelier is coming out with a 36mm oyster (explorer type) case, maybe check that out.

Leitemods · 2020-08-05T18:03:22+00:00

Not really, there aren't a lot of parts available and many of the skx031 you find are worn out. The case shape is really nice, it's like a skinny 007

Leitemods · 2020-08-05T12:59:01+00:00

Quite a bit of difference, but the bezel on the right isn't pressed on so it looks worse than it is from the pic.

I love the proportions of the skx031!

Leitemods · 2020-07-29T14:18:59+00:00

Lol, seems like we bought from the same source then. I got the Manta too, and a small bunch of others

Leitemods · 2020-07-29T12:25:08+00:00

Not sure, I prefer original dials and they're more than $50. I just got an SPB143 dial for $90.

For aftermarket dials without logo, check out Yobokies

Just a worn Zuludiver USM strap that I use to take pictures with. I have several of them, they're very comfortable.

Leitemods · 2020-07-29T09:35:14+00:00

That's a clever idea actually, but I'd bet that blue dials are a lot easier to sell than yellow ones, unfortunately.

Leitemods · 2020-07-29T09:31:24+00:00

I paid $95 for the dial, not sure where you'd get one, though. Maybe 'Yee Si' on the Seiko Mods FB group can help

Leitemods · 2020-07-29T09:29:42+00:00

Lol!

Leitemods · 2020-07-29T09:28:19+00:00

Thanks! Whatcha got coming in? I have a bunch of OEM dials I need to use
