Does anybody know if a watch parts provider has a bezel and Insert for my 5H26 - 7A19, is there a Yokabies or such out there that makes these as a reproduction. I really like the thinner case and case style of the 5H26 - 7A19 and would like to restore this one back to its glory days.   Cheers Mark |

Hey Mark. I had my eye on one of these ages ago, it also had a worn insert & I couldn't find one anywhere. However, I have read that the bezel from an SHC 015 is this same. Here's a link to a supplier, quite expensive, so maybe you might be better off finding a parts watch on the bay. This one is black, not pepsi but it's a start to your search. www.chronograph.com/store/mli_viewItem.asp?idproduct=3742Link to short article : forums.watchuseek.com/f21/your-help-bezel-insert-seiko-5h26-7a10-261173.html I'm not 100% sure that this is even the same as your watch, but it looks like it. Cousins UK actually have a bezel with insert for your model = £53.30. I know from experience on here that I can't post a direct link to this item. Again, I'm sure I've read that this insert was rarely available separately to the bezel. (maybe due to the shape ?) Seiko bezel, part no. 8631.1248. www.cousinsuk.com . It's not an easy site to navigate for the first time, feel free to PM me if you need to. |

I was wondering if the bezel and insert were all one piece as well. It sure looks like it. Anyhoo, I'm sure Mark will like his once he completes his restoration. I've always like the shape of those bezels.  |
