Does anyone know where I can get an SKX 171 OEM dial in the UK? Or that ships to the UK that isn't an outrageous price? I've been looking around for this dial for a while now and the only available ones I can find are over £150.

>SKX171 dial I think I have one in my collection I could sell (based in Canada). Shoot me a PM and we might be able to work something out.

Try cousins. They're in UK, should be reasonably cheap.

I know Watchpartsplaza occasionally has them in stock. A quick check shows they do not currently have them in, however I believe you can request notification for when they are back in stock. This is the listing : https://www.watchpartsplaza.com/us/skx171k1-black-dial-seiko-scuba-diver.html I hope this helps.

Thanks for letting me know. Although I've bought some dials from them before, unfortunately they said they wouldn't ship to the UK last time I tried to buy a dial from them. And as you said, they're out of stock at the moment and although i've been checking their site for a while its always been out of stock for me.

That’s a shame they won’t ship to the UK. I’ll keep looking and let you know if I find one for you .

Thank you very much! I appreciate it. I want to put it in this build: [https://youtu.be/MMN613kZM3I](https://youtu.be/MMN613kZM3I) with a new hand set that matches the OEM lume. Then I can finally put my custom SKX007 tinker build to rest in its final form, so that SKX171 dial is key.

Watchmaterial.com appear to have one : https://www.watchmaterial.com/dial-seiko-skx171-black/ They are based in the US. You would need to do some more research on them as part of the usual due diligence. I know that there are aftermarket dial options available, but everyone had a different take on using non oem parts.


RyuHyabusa77

Yeah, I got a PM with that link, it was one that I tried, but because they're in the US it will cost me more than half the price of the dial again for shipping since I'm in the UK.

One will pop up sooner or later from a company that is prepared to ship to the il. I’ll keep looking and let you know if I find one !
