Are those posting about purchasing the bezel looking for the whole bezel or just the bezel insert? I just removed the bezel insert from my SPB187 and replaced it with a sloped ceramic one designed for an SKX007. I have a thicker domed crystal on the way to account for the added height of the slope on the bezel insert. View attachment 15703610

Any pictures of the watch with the skx insert fitted that we can see?

Typically Seiko, at this price point. It's all a bit subjective and not helped by the design. This 120 click bezel has only 60 cutouts on its underside, and a spring with 2 offset prongs (at 30 secs). The result is that the bezel is only held by 1 prong at any point in it's rotation. Each spring engaging sounds different, like a 'tick-tock' and can be felt alternating on opposite sides of the bezel. It can sound irregular and feel vague.
In summary, if you can hear and feel 120 clicks, but it doesn't feel or sound as good as some £200 microbrands, then that's totally normal. But like I wrote at the beginning, it's subjective.
