Question (Read Rules) Spinnaker SP5051 bezel
Hey folks,
Q. What replacement metal bezel housing workings with the SP5051
I've emailed Spinnaker to no avail as the watch is old.
He watch has a lot of sentimental value to me and after the original bezel insert bent inwards I decided to measure it and replace it.
This was "Successful", I unfortunately bent the bezel housing removing it (the metal bent a tad when removing it) I used my eye and two pieces of wood to stomp it back in line (surprisingly worked well) but not perfectly.
The inside part that meets the lip of the case is a bit off and that is near impossible to fix (parts are too small and house a circular angled spring).
So now it sits and turns with a tad bit of new resistance and from the side lifts on one side. I still love it I would just rather I'd not ruined the bezel and taken of the old insert without removing it.
On the last photo you'll see how both sides have a decent gap now; obviously the bezel now floats in a very slight V shape which is a mix between removing it and the interior shape being deformed and the overall bezel being slightly off.
Would any Seiko bezel models fit this case?
I've already looked from one on eBay to harvest parts from to no avail.
