Update: Namokies steel etched chapter ring is installed. It looks beautiful, and I highly recommend it. Nice packaging, too. Parts List: Islander case, sapphire crystal, and crown. Strapcode 5 link bracelet. OEM Seiko 5 SRPK35 dial, handset, caseback, and 4R36A. OEM Seiko SKX013 bezel and insert. I am considering installing a Marine Master's clasp, which is semi-milled with a ratcheting diver extension. If you like this mod, stay tuned by subscribing. Once I gather all the parts, I'll be constructing a super SKX013 with an original OEM dial. It will look factory, but will have tons of upgrades.
Do you think an SNXS dial and stainlesssteel chapter ring would fit into an skx013 case? From the looks of it there doesn’t seem to be too much room at the 3 o’clock date window. That and the SNXS79 dial’s date window has a border might not have room for the chapter ring. I want the stainless steel ring though. The skx013’s OEM chapter ring actually had a detent to make room. Maybe my mod isn’t possible.
I haven’t seen that done, so it’s difficult for me to say yes. If you give me the dial diameter with chapter ring in mm, I can check to see if it’s the same or similar size as the SKX013 dial with chapter ring.
I’m certain you can. However, I would contact Lumed Ceramic Bezel Insert (LCBI) and/or Mark at Long Island Watch. They have probably been asked this question before, because they stock sapphire and ceramic lumed inserts for SKX013 watches.

Hi, is this still the original Srpk case?
Nope. Aftermarket clone SKX013 case. @@Cr33pingdeath
All in what’s the additional cost (not including srpk)?
Great review bro ☺️
Haha. Thx a bunch. Nice to see you again!
טוב מאוד, שעון יפה!

where did you get the sapphire crystal? CrystalTimesUSA says skx013 crystal doesn't fit SRPK models
You’re confused. That’s a SKX013 case, not a SRPK case. SRPK guts was transferred into an SKX013 case. See my pinned comment
If you need anymore help, let me know
Is it possible for me to purchase an SKX013 bezel insert and replace the original insert on my SRPK35?
