Another turtle build because one just wasn't enough

Ali case set is fairly priced but also very nice imho, you just need to tighten up the bezel and it's good to go with at least 50m WR (I can't test deeper)

Ali case set
Ebay high quality dial
Ali hands
B&R bands marine nationale strap

Interesting combination

Interesting effect. It should be called the ebony and ivory dial. BTW, how do you go about ‘tightening’ the bezel.

I would like to know too.

Back in the day, we used dental floss wrapped around the lower part of the bezel to tighten it up.

Bezel is held in place by a metal spring that's an open dodecagonal shape. First you need to remove the insert, its attached to the bezel with double sided tape so nothing too difficult. This way you gain access to the spring and can remove it, then
You just have to bend the angles further so once back in place the spring makes more pressure towards the bezel and voila.

That sounds more professional than using dental floss LOL

It always amazes me how many so different, but good looking watches you can make with those Seiko kits

Very cool! Also, to me the dial design looks like the yang kicked yin's ass - or is it the other way around?
