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.
