with a mother of Pearl mosaic dial which from so many angles looks different in colour, hard to get it in photographs.
Would like to mod this (already modded) Seiko 7002 - fancy changing the bezel insert but not 100% sure what to go for. Definitely want rid of the GMT style insert as there's no GMT complication on the watch. The bezel is bidirectional and the clicker isn't great at all, but not sure if there's anything I can do to fix this? It's the earlier style with the ball bearing rather than spring circlip.
Probably going to take it off the bracelet as well as it feels very cheap.

I'm not a fan of the bezel insert on my 7002 & have been wanting to change it. Would this one fit?

That almost seems convex vs the slightly concave one that's currently on the watch?
As you can see the bezel is the older bidirectional style with the tiny ball bearing. Is it possible to convert to unidirectional with a louder clicking noise?

40mm Bliger case. Won the complete watch on eBay for £7.70 and changed the guts to an NH36.
Interesting. Did you use the grey plastic movement spacer/holder for the nh36 or did you manage to fit the bliger metal movement holder with the screw in clips. Sorry for the questions but I've only ever modded skx cases and it would be nice to try something different. Fallingup said:

No problem.Just the standard grey spacer, I then use a couple of dial dots on the edges of the holder to snugly fit with the case. I've built 3 this way and not had any issues. I really like the cases and if you can get them under £30 they are excellent value for money.

Thanks for the tips. Very useful. Cheers. Just the standard grey spacer, I then use a couple of dial dots on the edges of the holder to snugly fit with the case.

Calling Amos Moses, Help! Help!
I am trying to put together a Black PVD dive watch. I purchased a Bliger 40mm Sub case off ebay based on some of the watches you have put together with the NH35 movement.
I have a problem, in that the stem is not central in the stem tube, see below. It looks like it needs a spacer between the case and the dial. Any advise or guidance would be gratefully received. If nothing else a contact who you buy your cases from as they seem to fit ok.
Thanks in advance

Drop me an email via my profile and I’ll help you out. I might be that the movement holder is slightly wonky. You can try and run some tape around the movement holder to increase its size and make it fit nice and snug. I’ve seen some of these Bliger cases be wildly out of tolerance for some people.I am trying to put together a Black PVD dive watch.

Need some help from you modders. I started playing around modding my PVD bronze Corgeut and lost one of the screws that hold the movement holder clip. Newbie mistake, had it in tweezers and it just pinged somewhere!
Would anyone have one spare or know where to get one.
You're in luck! I have several, in two sizes (2.2 x1.2x2.0mm and 2.0x1.0x2.0mm). I'll enclose a couple of each. Would anyone have one spare or know where to get one.
Looks like you're not set up to receive emails, but I am so send me a pm with your details and I'll get them on their way.
