Thread: Seiko 5y23-6150

  1. #1

    Seiko 5y23-6150

    Got this Aeromaster a while back.



    As you can see, a bit worse for wear but I liked it and it was stupid cheap. Couldn't buy a large Deep Pan Pizza for the money

    Anyway, I saw that it used the same crystal and bezel as my 7t34 Flightmaster. Looked around and found a company in Belgium that sold a Verlux crystal for £5.50 plus £2 postage to UK.

    So, this.....



    Will go onto this tomorrow all going well.



    Just have to source a cheap bezel now.

    hmmm looks possible match for a hmmm let me think reminds me of another watch bezel insert that might fit can't place the name at the minute just got a image at the back of my mind want to say citizen

    would have thought it would be a generic one as a lot of the seiko / pulsar have that look

    It uses the Flightmaster bezel. Jules Borel does it $25.

    Just need to find somewhere that takes Paypal and you don't have to be a watchmaker to buy it.

    to be honest mate I would not bother to change the bezel insert it gives it character don't you think and let's be honest when are you going to ever use that feature
