Re: Unknown model
Seiko SNZG13 or 17 (big military) with SNKF11 dial and aftermarket hands.
I have done a couple of those, here is mine with a different case and original Seiko hands, both black and white versions.

Re: Need help on Tritium PIP/DOT
It is possible that the lume pip is specific to a watch/model so harder to get then just the tubes. Great that you can get those easily though, I have to admit that even though I thought about replacing some I did not want to get involved in dealing with such small parts... :grin: You did a great jo...

Re: Need help on Tritium PIP/DOT
Thank you David, I had no idea you live in China and I get that you are attached to that particular piece and that you want to upgrade the tubes, and it seems you have done well so far. The only places I saw these tubes being sold was on Ebay and I think a on line store, some years ago but again I n...

Re: Need help on Tritium PIP/DOT
I don't know where to get one of those however you can try contacting the company that makes your watch and see if you can get a whole bezel with a new pip on it. Hi Carlo thanks for your reply, I tried this method before, Isobrite said “we do not sell bezels”, and Deep Blue haven’t replied me yet,...

Re: Watch projects 2024
Thank you for the kind words. I have had a few mess ups, these are small parts and easily damaged. With practice and care one can successfully complete projects without "fatalities". :grin: The orange watch was just completed so I want to enjoy it a bit. I do have another Orange one that I might pos...

Re: Watch projects 2024
This one is actually an Islander Turtle so it already had the domed sapphire and lumed ceramic insert on the bezel. I added a Namoki dial and hands set along with a Seiko NE15 (6r15c) regulated movement. The bracelet is original Islander, this is Turtle Modello Numero Uno. IMG_8715.jpg IMG_8716.jpg ...

Re: Seiko’s new Marine Masters
Some companies make the same watch in different sizes so as to accomodate different people's wrists and preference. Heck even Omega used to make different sizes of their Seamaster and Planet Ocean. I think that Seiko could easily do that and satisfy more people. That said, this MM does not look quit...
