Fluted Bezel Upgrade for Seiko 5 Dress Watches

[@theguardian3431]

I would be compelled to buy an Islander salmon or tiffany blue with a fluted bezel!

[@EggsOverCheesy]

This! Waiting for the salmon too

[@islandwatch]

noted!

[@Daniel_DiSanto]

Hi Marc, speaking of the Islanders, any word on when we can expect the email about the specific color voting for the salmon version? Really looking forward to it!

[@hernanbanuelos6286]

It looks very sharp on the blue dial. 👌

[@RobertoBianco88]

Just ordered! Can’t wait to receive the bezel and put it on my SRPE51K1 💪🏼 Thanks Marc!

[@Laz_Arus]

Marc: "One ill-placed spot of dust, you'll put it back together and you'll forever be looking at that dust!" OCD Therapist: "Don't look at the speck just inboard of the 8 o'clock marker at timestamp 07:49" Me: "Too late. Aaaargh!"

[@LudekVokac]

Hmm, I usually don't like fluted bezels, but here it looks worth a thought.

[@islandwatch]

yup, thanks.

[@lwood5375]

The fluted bezel makes the watch face look bigger, I like it

[@thegit8698]

The fluted bezel definitely gives the watch an upmarket appearance

[@islandwatch]

to each their own

[@davidkarp4593]

Marc, I have found aluminum duct tape (not the gooey gray stuff) works well to protect the case when removing bezels-for those of us who do not have that great tool.

[@islandwatch]

interesting, great idea

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

Marc is still the best at this job! Can’t argue with that. 👌👍😎

[@LS1007]

Certainly dresses up the watch. Not sure I would attempt it. Reminds me of an old Pulsar I have. Thanks Marc! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@swilkobarfingtoniii1642]

I have a 30+ year old PULSAR field watch in my collection. Really nice watch with a high domed crystal that is one of my favorites.

[@islandwatch]

thank you

[@soheilghafurian4671]

Mark, do you have any plans for making Captain Willard, or Monster Islanders?

[@OmairArif]

He said in a previous video that Monster Islanders are coming soon.

[@islandwatch]

Monsters are on the way.

[@rautikd]

Hey Marc, Can this bezel be upgraded to a uni directional rotating one..? Waiting for your reply...

[@daniel2946]

I do like the SRPE collection! Especially the SRPE61, to me it got potential in many aspects! But sadly all the modders keep missing out to make an aftermarket parts instead keep on producing the 5KX parts...😕

[@islandwatch]

Their loss, my gain.

[@xyzlars]

Anyone knows if this bezel also fits on the snxs models?

[@Mad-Coo]

Snk366 compatible with this bezel? That gold bezel actually looked awesome on the silver case! Nice.

[@bruceleroy8063]

Very nice addition

[@islandwatch]

I think so too!

[@oscarlainz]

Will you release chapter rings for this?

[@jackt3603]

Yes please!

[@Dylan_Miller]

Where did you get those gloves?? Can you telling me the name/ link?

[@nootch5880]

Great video as always! Any info on when you or anyone else is going to be making aftermarket bracelets for these? I believe you mentioned something about it in a prior video but was curious on any updates.

[@adonisDNA2000]

Marc any chance we get some long island bracelets for the seiko presage cocktail time?

[@stileshumphrey4195]

Very nice improvement 👍

[@islandwatch]

Thanks!

[@naished]

Looks great

[@islandwatch]

It does!

[@Sauce-ke]

I'm from New York too. Can I go directly to your shop in Long Island so you can put that bezzel for me?

[@justintime1218]

Seriously think of doing this! And will be ordering from you soon Mark, I'm Based in the UK. Just wondering will I need that specific tool you used to help to remove the bezel? Or will a flat knife like you were using suffice?

[@sammyjankis2274]

Great video! Any plans to release various chapter rings for the SRPE models as well? Thanks.

[@jimbeckers6833]

SRP Turtle Chapter Rings will fit.

[@jankatic8795]

Does this fit on SEIKO SNXS79??

[@derickroulain8717]

Is there a two tone jubilee bracelet available?

[@Yeolde777]

Will this fit the orient tristar too? 37 mm?

[@8upJoker]

Can you put a smooth polished bezel on an SSK003

[@13DHough]

Will this bezel fit a seiko snk335 ?

[@fierySilver10]

Hi I need to know will this bezel work for SRPE71 , the all silver watch.

[@imarioiv]

Is it possible to mod the SRPE line with a rotating bezel? The SRPE57 would look awesome with a BB58 styled bezel.

[@glyxx7027]

Hey was just wondering , Can this gold tone bezel be used on the Seiko Gold 5 SNXL72 model? Please reply Thankyou !

[@CoordinatedCarry]

Hey Mark, I’ve been meaning to ask. Why 10:10?

[@islandwatch]

standard in the industry. frames the top of the dial well.

[@maxp5422]

Great idea

[@islandwatch]

Glad you think so!

[@pmaind]

Can i remove bezel only???

[@Michael-jk3hg]

I been looking for year for a slx007 or mostly the smaller version. .. do u have any in a reasonable price . I don't have much money but I love these watches man. It will have a good home

[@stevenc7877]

When you're switching bezels, do you have to have the exact size bezels? Like can a 39mm bezel go in a 38.5mm watch?

[@bernardocourrege6283]

I would love to see a dive bezel for that watch!

[@markgabrielzamora9044]

Can i send you my watch and put flutted and sapphire crystal on it?

[@bt3750]

Looks like you really need to watch the chapter ring alignment when pressing bezel back on since they go in together.

[@islandwatch]

There are alignment tabs on the chapter ring.

[@andyc6736]

For fixes like that one I strongly suggest to remove the movement first and then work on the bezel. Especially when popping off the bezel “free handed” with a case knife, the chances to slip and damage the dial or hands are quite high!

[@islandwatch]

Good idea.

[@danieleraso1]

Hey mark. Do they fit a mako I?

[@onepointds]

Hi Marc! I have a Sandoz Datejust with bezel that needs to be replaced. Do you think I can use an aftermarket Rolex fit fluted bezel for it? I have 34mm bezel, I found something similar online.

[@jefferyneu3915]

My watch maker would be doing that. Will you be offering My Watch My Way with that exchange?

[@rochumimi]

Hi Marc, is a separate tool required to remove and then pop the crystal back into the bezel, or is it possible just by applying pressure with hands?

[@islandwatch]

You need a crystal press.

[@butterbeans898]

Great video

[@islandwatch]

Thanks!

[@jbads1989]

Looks amazing, wish I had the skill to do this. Far to scared of getting dust in there.

[@Carloshernandez-kk7dp]

You’re Awesome!

[@case1737]

Any chance of adding this to your customer watch category on your site too?

[@islandwatch]

We'll see.

[@SpesDesperatio]

I need this! Shipping to Germany?

Hi Marc, this is only way to contact you, I like your customized SKX007J so I waited to come back in stock, and bought customized watch with Double Dome AR Sapphire and Red Marcedes Hands, but I want to add Caramic Black SKX Lume Bezel and Red Lightning Hand, I cannot cancel and reorder because it is out of stock, Can you please help me.

[@antoniofalace8067]

Dove posso trovare la lunetta “originale “

[@ozludo]

Neat. Are there aftermarket chapter rings that fit these? (I assume it's too much to hope that SKX chapter rings will fit)

[@islandwatch]

I haven't seen any yet.

Return to the 80s bling. But I suppose their is a market for it. Interested in the engineering part of it though.

I'm not a fan of that!

Mark can you show a pic of the silver fluted on the same Guild dress KX? I’m asking because I have that watch and I can’t decide if I should get the silver or gold...a ref pic would greatly help! I guess you could DM the pic to my Instagram which is same name account as here. Thanks in advance.

[@michaelhargis7036]

Islander Watch.....quartz please.

[@islandwatch]

yup.

[@CadaMul]

Now, there is dust on the Dial.... I would take it non the less. including the gold Bezel.

[@joseph_b319]

Wearing a watch without the crystal would be a good style for those who like to live dangerously.

Just can’t get over why you would want to wear gloves like that whilst working on a watch…

[@ColinRobinson92]

Ehhh, I'm not sure what to think about a fluted bezel on a Seiko 5. Rolex gets away with it because they're the OG, but to me it's kind of an ostentatious look.

[@islandwatch]

No worries!

[@soggz4246]

Looks a bit ‘datejusty’...

[@islandwatch]

That's sorta the idea.
