Hi Everyone,
I've built myself a Seiko 6105-8110 frankenbuild.
It has a correct 8110 case, aftermarket crown/stem, aftermarket bezel/insert, original glass. Caseback is sadly a 6105 sealion one and not a correct one.

The movement is a 6105a which I've added 4 jewels to (bridge and the barrel arbors, it has a genuine dial as well.

Now my inner bezel insert/dial ring is a 6309 one with minute graduation marks on it.
Does anyone know if the genuine insert below is the same height/thickness etc.

I don't have a watch to compare it to. I was debating stripping the paint off mine or spraying it matte black as I don't want to pay $100US for a genuine insert.

Please let me know if you have worked on one before.
Cheers

I don’t think you’re going to find dimensions published anywhere. If you have one that fits, try stripping the printing off and/or painting as you suggest. 
 

Someone with an original will gladly pay the price for correct parts. I pay silly money for correct Rolex and Tudor parts, because it matters to me.

      Yes, now that you mention it, I think I remember (it was a very long time ago) creating a link for each picture, and that was massively time-consuming. I'll edit the post once I get the time for it. By the way, it's good to see you back on the forum!

      Why now Mark ?  And which contact has brought you here ? People have been trying for bloody months to get hold of you for reassurance. Shite way to run a forum tbh. Seven months since you last visited. I think we all need to have a long discussion with you about what happens if anything happens to you. Please look forward to lots of questions.  Thanks for the link John, it will be interesting to find out how much it costs when they email me back.

      Hi guys. @VWatchie Those images are self hosted (not hosted on this server). Do a look at the page source and you will see this. I’m afraid, I can’t have control or backup images not hosted on this server. ( They seem to be served from here: https://qehvsw.bn.files.1drv.com/) This server is backed up fully every night and the database is backed up and versioned every hour, all stored off site on Amazon S1 platform. It’s hard for us to lose data. Ive got a huge overhead of space on this particular server the site is served from so no worries there 🙂 Sorry all for lack of response so far, I have been extremely busy and am embarrassed to say that priorities had to be set in place for a while.  Be assured that i’ve got constant monitoring and alerts should the site be in an extended problematic state (down etc) and work on these issues if they arise.

      Web sites are cheap. Message board are easy. Hosting both is less than 100 usd a year and small advertising would cover most of that.  In the discord group we did some 15 min poc and threw up a couple of different message boards on a domain i host.   The real value is the data / information / hive mind While I'm a rank amateur in watch repair the information and assistance on this board is invaluable. The members on here are friendly, entertaining and a wealth of knowledge This is what needs to be preserved  --Jeff
