Hi fellow Seiko enthusiasts,
I'm about to start a restoration of a nice Seiko 45899 mono-pusher chronograph (also known as the 5719-8990 I guess). The caseback with the olympic flame is in a nice shape as is the dial, but unfortunately the bezel is really worn out. Also, the watch does not have a bracelet and the chronograph pusher looks a bit rough as well. I was able to source a crystal and the crown easily.
Where to find the following? * Bezel (reproduction was produced some time ago, couldn't find on Ebay any more) * Chronograph pusher * Bracelet
Any other models that have a close to original bracelet that could be fitted?
Thanks!

the buttons are made from unobtanium. I searched for years twice for a button !
Then I came across 5 full sets of stem, spring and button but just sold the last one last month.

Thanks! Sounds like my luck. There will be more reproduction bezels soon though, contacted the guy making them.
