Sumo Pepsi SBDC057 gets the LCBI Conversion

[HiBeat]

The Pepsi Sumo SBDC057 (JDM model) shares the exact dial as the familiar "Blumo" SBDC033.  Differences are it uses a red seconds hand and all 3 hands have black tail ends and of course the main difference being the bezel insert.

So I picked up one of the Lumed Ceramic Bezel Inserts (LCBI) designed to perfectly match the Blumo.   It's my 3rd LCBI insert and they are just fantastic (others are 6309-7290 and SRP777).  Mounted it on a spare Sumo bezel in my parts drawer so no bezels were harmed in the process.

Thought I'd share the look in day and in the dark.   Note the last photo was taken using "Night Sight" photo taken with my Pixel3 smartyphone uses the light from the lume to see the dial markings - technology is soooooo cool.

Nice insert! Any quality problem? I had ordered one for my Sammie, I received the insert with scartch on marker

No issue at all.   This is the 2nd one I got from LCBI and neither had any problem although the 3M sticker that was supposed to be used underneath the bezel was cut the wrong size so I had to cobble up from 2 others in my stash.

Similarly but different since my first lumed insert came from Yobokies, it arrived smashed to smithereens in a padded envelope.  He replaced with another packed properly.

Very cool Jon.  Somehow, that Pepsi bezel just doesn't work on a Blumo IMHO.

Terrific mod, Jon!
