Yeah, they mostly stick to the champagne dials for GS models these days. I think the SBGX331 is about the closest they do to off-white (looking at real life photos rather than the usual poor images on the GS website).

Interesting! Is pool water more damaging than salt water?

Imagine it would depend on case material and coating. Stainless steel is prone to chlorine pitting and corrosion but I can't imagine the levels seen in swimming pool water would do that much to accelerate it. I've regularly worn my stainless Tag swimming over the last decade and it's still pretty much spotless.

Something like titanium is much more resistant to chlorine corrosion.

Thought I'd post a pic of this one today while I had it out of the box, it doesn't get too much wear ro be honest but I do still enjoy wearing it occasionally.

I bought it as it reminds me of a Seiko diver I lost many years ago on holiday.

Strap change, I have 3 or 4 watches on black or dark blue so thought I'd go different. Happy with it

Anyone got recommendations for sourcing either a new bezel or replacement bezel insert for an old diver style 100 mt watch?
Looking to replace Pepsi Bezel in a 5M62 OA10 Kinetic.
Current bezel is very faded, love the watch (daily wear) and just want to smarten it back up.

Arctura Kinetic Auto Relay finds this, my favourite watch, working as mine is for around the €350 mark on the ebay.

Very nice, particularly as it matches the hands.
