Where for new bezel for Seiko divers?

I have a Seiko solar divers.

It’s been a very good watch. keeps perfect time.

It needs a new battery/capacitor.

Also, the bezel is pretty battered and it could do with a new one.

I have contacted a couple of online watch repair places and they can do the battery but not the bezel.

I was going to get a new one but they have seem to have shot up in price, nearly £500 now, I only paid about £170 a few years back.

Any recommendations?

There’s loads of companies that make mod parts for Seiko Diver’s, e.g.

Mainly the SKX and 5KX variants but you might get lucky. A new bezel insert is probably more likely than a whole bezel.

As luck would have it, I’ve just had an email from someone who supplies bezel inserts, hands, etc, promoting a sale.

I have used them before, the fully lumed ceramic bezel on one of my Heimdallr watches is from them.

Just found a photo of the watch and bezel above glowing…

Solar is generally not well covered by the modding scene.

He’s been around 20 years and can get a little of OEM parts.
