The original watch was a Seiko SNKH55 I bought the dial and caseback from fleabay but you can get the dial from Dagaz and the caseback from Yobokies The lumed bezel insert and hands came from Yobokies The seconds hand and buckle came from Dagaz And finally, the strap was from Bradystraps I had no issues at all getting these parts and I highly recommend all of these sources.
