Are Seiko samurai and turtle Bezels interchangeable?

[Ruairidh]

Just wondering and does anyone know anywhere good to by parts for a Samurai?

There is no secret places for parts, all one can find is revealed by Internet search. Now, if you are looking for new parts for the original 7S26 watch, I don't think you can find any. And for the new 4R36 you could try having Cousins or an official Seiko dealer make an order. Anyway it would be very expensive compared to the cost of the complete watch.

The bezels between turtles and samurai are interchangeable!  Not many people know this, assuming you mean a prospex turtle. SKX models can easily be found on eBay. I purchased a brand new oem Seiko bezel and insert for my skx009 it was $69. Parts for the 4R36 are also available a bezel & insert for the turtle is about $139.

there also many sights who sell aftermarket bezels/inserts for the samurai. Just do a search on the net but here is one:

there are no secret places for parts because they are everywhere. I just wish it was the same for deep blue watches.
