Bezel change to SKX171 with photos - part 3



Bezel change for Seiko SKX171, takes about 5-10 minutes



11. Shot of one-way spring bar.

12. Don’t forget to remove the rubber or silicone gasket from the old bezel and put it into the new one, a pin or needle will get it out, it is slightly over-size which is what holds it in

13. How it looks without the gasket

14. The finished product with the old bezel

15. Where the photos were taken showing the tripod over the top and the glass door in front, with diffused light



Photos were taken with a Nikon D200, with a Nikon 28-105 zoom on macro focus. The tripod used was a Manfrotto/Bogen 190B tripod and a Manfrotto/Bogen 486RC2 head. The pictures were shot behind a glass door with diffused glass, reduces the shadows somewhat.



Shot 14 was with the D200 built-in flash.



Since I do not have a press, in order to press the new bezel on, I took a cloth and folded it over a couple of times for thickness and then placed it against a timber door frame and give the watch a push on the back of the case, where it should engage and click in.



Your patience is appreciated, I hope that it was worth the wait



Cheers
