Is there any way to change the stiffness of the bezel? I assume there's a gasket under there, so could one make the bezel's rotation stiffer by putting a slightly thicker gasket in place? If so, could anyone point me in the direction of where to find one? I have a microband field watch with a friction fit bezel and it simply doesn't move unless you want it to, and I'd like for my SSK003 to function the same way.
Believe it or not I actually work up quite a sweat pushing the shutter button.
I'm going to end up buying another one...I'm so in love with this thing. I feel like I need a Samurai for "tool" use and keep this shiny gem for special occasions.
I'll preface this by saying that I have no reason to believe this is a fake. It feels like a quality piece, but I have no real experience with Seiko besides a Black Monster I owned almost a decade ago and I've had Garmins since then. I bought it second hand from an EDC group I'm in, the seller gave me no red flags and the price was good but not too good to question. I didn't even realize these were faked until coming here and now I can't get it out of my head. The bezel has the scallops on the underside that one Youtuber mentioned, but I've also seen posts here where people are calling out the shade of blue as a tell and mine seems to look exactly like theirs. Tell me I'm worrying about nothing so I can go back to loving this thing.
I don't mind a big knife, but I can't tolerate excessive bulk so I try to keep things fairly sparse. How do you carry what you need without it being excessive?
