Seiko (the one with the dots)
Dagaz 'Mariner' (the one with the dashes)
I thought I'd found exactly what my 007 was crying out for when I saw Dagaz sold these. But now it's here I'm not so sure. What do you think?

You were too quick, I was creating the pollOriginally Posted by gcleminson
i like the plainer non dot one.
I think the Dagaz looks better. Less is more.
Not much in it. Non dot.
It's a difficult one, the Dagaz makes the watch look like another model Seiko already offer (SKX031 ??).
I think I prefer the Dagaz one but its a close thing
I like the font on the Seiko one better.
M.
Prefer the dashes and the smaller font. Strangely, i have the same issue with a Rolex 1665 that has had a service replacement insert which is smaller font than would have originally been on the watch (fat font as it is known) and most forumites suggested leaving it as it is rather than trying to find an old FF insert..
Seiko insert for me, the mod looks like every other bezel out there.
The OEM insert is one of the things I like about the 007 (kind of mill sub like). With either bezel insert the 007 is a cracking watch, in my opinion the £4£ watch out there.
The main reason i chose the Seiko bezel is i prefer the counter sunk lume dot over the pearl style inserted lume of the other.
Voted for the Dagaz, I have switched the insert on one of my SKX007s also since I am not always a fan of the Seiko one. I have a slightly more plain version that I found cheap on eBay at present. Although feel an order from Dagaz or other soon. Would like a new dial for my 7002 since the lume has died also.
They both look pretty good to me.
Cheers mate, that's helpful ;)
I'm gonna fit it and live with it for a couple of days to see what I think.
I prefer the seiko bezel, I like the dots and the top mark better.
Dagaz gets my vote.
The Dagaz because it ties in nicely with the chapter ring. But as a previous commenter said, it's very close and they both suit it quite nicely.
Here it is fitted rather than placed on top of the original:
I'd go for the Seiko, the Dagaz looks a bit like an Invicta to me.
Ooh, did my back hurt your knife there?
No offence intended (it so happens that the Invicta it reminds me of I still own!) but just prefer the Seiko version.
I prefer the other font but prefer the dots so it's a points tie for me!
when im diving I like a watch with dashes
I prefer the original. No need to change.
I would keep the original bezel .
Hi David, original for me. I do prefer the sunken bezel pip as well. Regards. Kev
This for me.
Seiko one for me. I do like a modded Seiko but the Dagaz insert jumps out on an otherwise standard 007. Maybe if a different set of hands were used it would blend in more...
I prefer the second one. Less fussy and cluttered than the first.
The seiko looks the biz
I like the original for the symmetry.
But I like the second as the numbers look retro-futuristic.
So if you could mash them together and make a hybrid.
I like that you've attached the second though. Looks great!
