A hotchpotch of various parts.

That’s what it was like before all the plastic surgeries:

First I changed the hands and the bezel insert:

And finally I decided to give it this funky look with the cosmograph dial and broad arrow speedy hands (relumed with the orange lume). And put it on a matching single pass nato.

Those Namoki bezels ship with an 0.8mm bezel gasket, which will fix them in place.
On their website, they mention that it will rotate with a 0.7mm, which is what I did. It ends up a bit sloppy, so I used the click spring, and then further, bent the click spring in a couple places to make it kind of a "wavy washer," which works well.
As originally built. The caseback was the regular one, crystal too thick, bezel a tad wobbly.
Fixed up: Namoki crystal for standard (not thin, not sloped) bezels, click spring bent in a few places, 0.7mm gasket, and slim caseback.
I have two watches that I’ve removed the click spring because I use them for cooking (not at the same time lol). It’s perfect for grilling. Keep advancing the bezel when you flip a steak or whatever. One is smooth and tight .8mm but turns. And a .7 that is easier to spin but not always desirable. It’s a toss up.

6012 watches still has a few of these in stock. There was also a transparent blue one, but they are sold out of those.That doesn't look half bad to be honest!
Is there such a thing as translucent dials, to make it look more like a Seiko Time Sonar?

It' s not easy to find a Tuna dial with feed at 4,20 and it' s difficult to find green hands with gold finish, they arrived this morning. I found a better clasp too.
Cool !

I don't think they've ever responded to emails that I sent them, but my actual orders of in-stock items have gone through, at least in the past. If they're not sending out invoices now though, then yeah. I haven't used them for awhile, lately they seem to be perpetually out of stock of nearly everything but a bunch of 5KX dials, and less desirable handsets. Tokeilab and WPP are better resources now if you want OEM parts.

Cousins is ok too, once you figure out the search function.

Okay @Chronopolis, this level of creativity made me deeply uncomfortable but I strayed out of my comfort zone and made one that is not a clone of an existing Seiko.
Still shaking
In all seriousness though, pretty happy with how it turned out. Might need to swap the seconds hand for something that pops a little more but I love the brushed bezel.
