These are excellent, time to buy more Seiko 5s.
Thanks, I saw some cool domed epoxy inserts for the Seiko 5 on eBay the other day

I nearly asked in previous post whether you had a source for the inserts as it would make the 5 homage so much better, will go have a search do you remember anything about seller?

I use dsn (davidsen) inserts which need to be reduced in diameter to fit,

Or these would do the trick for a Seiko 5

There are many here who consider themselves 'contributors'. They are mistaken in their assesment.

This thread is the essence of this place.

Bravo!

Spot on -  these threads make the place special together with the help willingly given to new addicts. (Provided they are not looking for the best aircraft carrier)

Where did you get the Vietnam case? 
I was lucky with the cases, a guy that I get parts from had a couple of them,
They seem to be hard to get at the moment but I'm on the lookout for more .
Once I find some I'll let you know.
I'm just asking all the suppliers of Vietnam cases that I've come across if they can get them

Pretty cool... much more so than the ubiquitous Sub or Sea Dweller. 

I recently got a modern FF and I love it. Haven't taken it off since I got it. Great watch with a great history.
