    So I changed the bezel on my SPRA21J1 today.
    I got a Crystal Times coin edge bezel and a new pepsi insert from Yobokies.

    Popping the old bezel off wasn't too difficult, a thin blade and lightly tapping with a small hammer all around the bezel gap and it soon came off.

    Next get the new bezel ready to be installed.

    Finally press fit the new bezel, apply the adhesive tape, ensure everything is lined up and fit the new bezel insert.

    A simple mod, not expensive and gives the watch a nice new look.

    Excellent mod. Harold (Yobokies) is always a gent to deal with. I also find Jake and Richard at Dagaz great for Seiko modding parts. How do you find the fit of the bezel compared to the original (in terms of backlash and side to side play)?
    I like the SRP Turtles with coin edge bezels, gives them a classic 6105 Willard/Turtle look rather like the SLA033 reissue.
    I can recommend the Dagaz sword hands, great fit on the 4R36, and excellent quality too.
