Yobokies Sardine Bezel & Insert

Post by d12go4 » 23 Mar 2014 13:23

Hi Guys

Fitted one of Harold's Sardine Bezels with his black DLC coated Insert onto my White Sardine.

I also fitted back the White Stargate Hands.

I really like this combo :D

I think it's as close as I'm gonna get to the 300m White Diver that was an entry on the 2006 Seiko Power Design Project..too bad it did not go into production :oops:

You fitted a stargate chapter ring into the sardine? Any issue with the crystal clearance, is the crystal able to push all the way in?

Yup, work done by Mr.Goh.

The White Stargate Dial and Chapter Ring were a direct fit, with the Sardine crystal being able to be fitted correctly without sticking out :mrgreen:
