I just changed out the crystal in my Seiko Flightmaster (SND253P) and realized that I really need to replace the bezel insert also. Where's the best place for me to get a replacement from, in the USA?
Thanks!

BobbyMike,


I've had good luck with Jules Borel. You'll need the movement-case number (7T92-XXXX...it's stamped on the case-back).


Best,
Myles


P.S. Do you know of any good watchmakers in Columbia County or the Capital District?

Thanks for the advice, Myles.

I, unfortunately, don't know any watchmakers (of any ilk), anywhere. Sorry

BobbyMike,


I forgot to mention that you need to register with them before you can search for case parts. Also, since connections to their web site are unencrypted, they will phone you after they receive your order to get your payment information. I already have an account with them, so I can search for you if you give me the movement-case number.


Best,
Myles

It's a 7T92-OCFO. I appreciate the effort Myles!

Unfortunately I don't see a bezel or bezel listed. You may want to give them a call, as what's listed on their web site isn't 100% accurate. Their number is 1-800-776-6858

You might be able to get the part from Coserv, the service division of Seiko Corporation of America (1-800-722-4452). I'm not sure if they sell to the "public".


There's also Otto Frei and Cas-Ker.


Best,

COSERV will not sell to the public, but any AD can order from coserv and AD's will sell to you. IIRC depending on the customer, JB will sometimes place orders with coserv.

Thanks Myles, I ended up registering and find the same lack of info....

Thank you to Isthmus. What/whom is an AD?

 

[BobbyMike]

AD = Authorized Dealer? :-[

Yep.
