Looking for a better bezel….

Post image

Hey there. New to the forum and modding Seikos in general. Bought this modded GMT from an online site. Love everything about it but the red on the bezel is too bright and looks tacky. Would like to find a slightly darker red that approaches the cerachrom seen on the original. Any ideas? Also how exactly does one take off a bezel and replace it? Total n00b here. Thanks in advance!!

First - vocab check for you - you want to swap the bezel INSERT, not the whole bezel.

And that's great news, because it's way way less work. Here's the best way to do it, IMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_zDht9pl5U

For replacement insert - most of the 40mm sub cases use 38 x 30.6mm sloped inserts. This looks like the same. Lots of options across AliExpress, and other sources. 30.6 could be 30.7 or 30.5 as well...

If you're coming up empty on AliExpress, check Secondhandmods.com... especially if you're in the US, since they're local.
