I grabbed a Turtle SRP775 a while back but fancied making a couple of changes. Started with a gold bezel from an eBay seller called, rather oddly, dr.seikostain over in Poland, lovely solid and high quality bezel, but a touch on the tight side - at least it won't fall off!
Then I procured a 12 hour lumed bezel from DLW Watches in Singapore. Very high quality indeed, but annoyingly no backing adhesive. Fortunately some came with the bezel so no harm, no foul.
Next I'm considering a lumed chapter ring from seller lumedceramicbezelinserts on eBay. Can one have too much lume? Nah!
So far it looks like this...

Really like that, just the hint of gold around the edge and I like the lumed bezel.
Great photo too
Thank you both kindly. 🙂
Awesome mods - the gold edge makes it really stand out nicely. Didn't realise you could get a lumed chapter ring - can't wait to see it.
I’d never seen one before either, looks yummy.
Nah, I do not like it at all......................Each to there own.
Looks pretty good. Congrats!

Looks really cool, good job
I like the idea of the lumed chapter ring, assuming it's just the hour markers that are lumed that is. Eagerly awaiting photos.
It’s actually the hours and twelve and a half minute divisions on the one I’m looking at. Looks cool, just don’t fancy having to remove the crystal though.
Have a gawps

Big fan of that. Would like that on a black rubber or black nato
Very nice, I really do like this. Good job

Wild mod... I reckon an engineer bracelet / lumpy would look cool with that bezel.
That should be a real conversation starter
I have a WTB out for the rubber with the gold buckle, but I am rather keen on the gold super engineer that’s on the Tuna in SC. YUM!
Strapcode have some nice TT bracelets...

They do indeed! 😅
That's going to look great. Good luck with the crystal!
