Here is my 1992 Seiko Daytona, it's the 7t32-7g20. When first purchased it came with the usual stainless oyster bracelet, serial number 48A2-G-1, and was supplied together with the leather strap to use as an alternative. It's quite thick and beautifully made.

I've tried everywhere to find out more about the leather strap, such as serial number.

Has this become the holy grail of Seiko straps? Does anyone know of another?

I would love to find a new bezel for the watch. Unfortunately the current Seiko supply does not look the same with its narrower insert and narrower decal.

Never seen a Seiko strap like that.

Looks like a pilot strap that someone has stamped Seiko Z22 inside.

Z22 is normally used on dive straps.

Boley nor SSA certainly don't list an alternative strap other than the SS one you already have.

What's wrong with bezel/insert?

I see two different part numbers for bezel

86312684 (boley)

and

86312685 (seiko service australia)

They were issued together with the rubber dive strap or the stainless steel oyster. Extremely rare.

The bezel has a deep scratch at about the 40 minute index, that's why Im replacing it. I'm fussy like that. I'll keep the original though.

    • I've also heard it called the "top side" and the dial side the "bottom side", which should make any non-repairer very confused. There are many examples and sometimes it comes down to personal preference. Personally, I like to say "dial train" whereas most other people would use the term "motion works".
    • Is magnetism such a major problem that we (as home hobbyists) need to spend $$$ on a fancy demagnetiser? I use one of the cheap blue Chinese demagnetisers (£10 from ebay). It works, and has never failed to demagnetise a movement, or my screwdrivers. Magnetometer - who needs one?  Take a very small screw. If it sticks to the clean part, it is magnetised 🤣
    • My overall preference is to use traditional names and terms, that became my habit when i was taught joinery by old boy chippies 2 generations older than me , that had their time in the 40's. But what i often do is adjust the names and terms i use according to who I'm talking with. Sometimes i will say trainside and occasionally watchmaker's side. I try to find a balance between accommodating other folk ( there's no point speaking a foreign language to someone who doesn't understand it ) and using a name that appears to me to be more relevant as to its use or description. But using the name lever can be quite confusing,  some watches might have parts that are also levers, release levers, which in effect is what the pallet fork is, an escapement release lever. 
    • Then put the case number in here https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/filter/search-seiko-case-parts and it should give you the crown 
    • I come across to replace the crystal of a 7734 chronograph.  What make it special there a printed chapter ring  which fits inside the recess of crystal before inserting into the case. I am thinking of a high dome crystal such as Sternkreuz ATCH, fitting diameter OD332/ID320.  For this purpose, tension ring will be removed and fit in the chapter ring.  I understand the crystal size may not perfectly fit these two dimension.  Should aim to find the right ID, then OD can be grinded to reduce without much difficulty.  To find the right crystal, the easiest way is to get know of the OD/ID relationship of Sternkreuz ATCH/ATCG (otherwise the OD of the crystal and tension ring).  I hope you are able to help to minimize the trial and errors.
