SSK Slim Coin Edge Lünette: Stahlfinish

SSK and SRDP stock bezels are a bit high profile on my wrist. This bezel pared with a sloped ceramic insert and a slim domed crystal dramatically changed my Seiko 5. It is now not so chunky and much better proportioned for its size.

I purchased an SBSC001 last year in Osaka, and while I love the watch I honestly didn’t wear it as much because the OEM bezel is quite high. It makes the watch frankly quite bulky, and only suitable for certain situations.

When I learned about modding, and saw this specific bezel, I knew I had to give it a shot specifically for the slimmer profile. I am extremely satisfied with this. Rather than the watch be limited to when I want something bulky, I wear it all the time. It put this watch back into daily wear, it is such an improvement over OEM.

I highly recommend for anyone interested in modifying their watch. The SBSC001 was a “good enough” personal souvenir for a trip. This perfects the watch and turns it into a daily wear go-to. Absolutely perfect.

Looks good, but really-really hard to rotate, basically fixed. :(

I made this review to show that you can definitely use flat bezel inserts without having to also use a slim crystal. The original crystal will only pop up ever so slightly and it does not look bad at all. Also, I must note that be sure that the tape is the correct one or make sure it’s only between the bezel and insert, because the wrong size will actually sit on the case and lock your insert in place while your bezel moves freely.

Perfect fit. Paired with a world timer bezel and leather strap on an SSK001 and it’s literally perfect
