RE:1st Diver 〈SBDCX0519〉

The shape of the case of SBDC051 is cool! I've been feeling lately、I was able to get a used SBDC051 in good condition, so I re-MODed the clock I made last time, including the dial and hands.。

I have two problems、Chapter ring of SBDC051 (SPB051) seems not to be sold outside the company、never seen。Search does not come up。Different sizes for boys and others。The SBDX019 dial has a minute scale on the outer circumference, so I personally want to combine it with the silver chapter ring.。Then measure the size、The outer circumference of the boy's chapter ring, which was made by cutting the inner circumference last time, is about 30 mm.。different height。When I put it in the SBDC051 case, it moved in the gap, so I was wondering what to do.、Spread the sapphire glass packing height 2.5mm for another watch that you had at hand slowly and carefully with needle nose pliers, align the outer circumferences, and attach it to the outer circumference of the chapter ring.。because there is still a gap、Do the same thing again and install gaskets around the outer circumference.。This time it's too thick to fit in, so slowly and carefully scrape the outer edge little by little with sandpaper.、Scrape top and bottom、It is still a little high at 2.2mm in height, but it fits perfectly around the circumference, so I installed it.。The height is press-fitted with the expectation that some space will escape due to the curvature of the glass.。0.2The glass may be loose about mm。I was so busy working that I forgot to take a picture.。

The next problem is that the diameter of the dial is different。SBDC051 is a general 28.5mm dial、The dial of SBDX019 is big...。I had no choice but to do it so far, so I shaved the outer circumference with a router.。Rely on your senses, appearance, and the scale on the outer circumference、so that the center does not shift evenly、Clear the outer circumference problem by scraping so as not to break the circle。However, although the dial was cured,、I entered through a gap and was covered in iron powder。。I want to avoid scratches and dirt.、It will not fly with dust blowing、Even rodico can't get it...。Take the plunge and wash with water to feel good、Remove fine particles with a rodico、After cleaning the dirt on the index with a glass pen、Complete revival! No noticeable scratches or dirt、I managed to get through。

It took a lot of time and effort to scrape the chapter ring and the dial、I was able to do something with 120 points on my own.。The luminescence and color of the bezel match、I like the reflection of the night light。This component SBDC051 + SBDX019 dial, hands, buckle + SEIKO logo crown (probably ebay)+ Non-genuine chapter ring gasket = SBDCX0519?

  1. Mr. ichi! Thank you for posting your work with a high degree of perfection every time!
    However、Normally I would give up、Various ideas have been devised there、It's amazing that you've made it this far! I can only say that it is wonderful!
    By the way, I didn't know that the SBDX019 dial was huge until I checked the previous post.…(Sweat)、informative。

    1. mr.tencho's、Thank you for your comment! Recently, Aliek also sells a 28.5mm dial with almost the same design that looks pretty good, so I thought about that too.、Since I went to the trouble of changing from a San Martin case to a genuine SBDC case, I wanted to stick to genuine quality.、I tried to do something if I could do it with the work that I could do。Last time I thought it would be better if the dial was bigger, but it wasn't enough、This time, on the contrary, I shaved it because it was too big, but when I shave it or make a clock,、It's a fun time to be completely immersed。

  2. Is it solder? If so, did you take great care in adjusting the heat to prevent discoloration of the blue dial? I tried it with Gorilla Glue & Bondic in the past, but I got it right away

    1st Diver is a wonderful degree of perfection☆

    Adjust with a gasket for the chapter ring、The dial is also carefully carved to fit the case well.、I think that the joy when it was completed was also one.。

    When you're customizing your watch, you're immersed in it and the time really goes by fast!

    1. It is firmly adhered so that it can not be removed at all、Thank you for your comment! The joy of completion is right、In the past, when I scraped the dial of another watch, the surface got dirty, so this time I managed to make use of that experience and proceed as planned.、Oh good ~! I felt like。It's time to forget the time。Mr. Tak961 has been customizing at a high pace recently, and his creative motivation is amazing!

    This is the custom completed form I was aiming for。
    I couldn't solve the chapter ring problem and compromised。
    I was impressed by the effort that was completed with wonderful ideas such as ring shaving for boys and spacer creation 👍

    1. Mr. Daichi! Thank you 😃 Mr. Daichi, you also mentioned looking for a plated chapter ring in the previous SBDC051 post.。I wish there were more aftermarket parts、I don't think so...。But I'm sure Daichi-san can make a spacer! i will try this time、I feel that if we can prepare a gasket with a closer diameter and height from Ariek, we can use the boy's gasket a little more easily.、I'm delusional that I want to make Unit 2 with a different color and style 😊

    1. yoohiyy's、Good evening! Thank you for your comment。
      When it comes to shaving work, yoohiyy is probably more experienced than I am.、The finish is ultrasonic cleaning! I couldn't do it because I was worried that the night light would peel off, but thank you for letting me know! this time、I'm a little worried about washing、I was a little worried about what would happen if the luminous of the index wasn't dried after completion and it turned black like a real vintage, so I took it out again and dried it for about half a day.。
      SBDC055 by yoohiyy and Daichi、In SBDC051's post, I was attracted to the beauty of the case shape from an oblique angle, which led to this MOD.Thank you for your anticipation for the next work.。I want to see yoohiyy's next work too!
