Old bezel was worn (like most) so I decided to make a custom bezel. I still have the original bezel to restore to original condition but I think this looks nice for now. Let me know your thoughts!

For watches like these where a factory bezel isn’t available (I assume like the SM120, don’t know this model), I see this as the only way to make them whole again. Nice hack.

What bezel did you use to replace the worn one? I have the same watch and want to do the same thing.

It looks like a sub bezel on the watch. Its a nice mash-up and one I would consider myself. Well done.

Here is the case I used that I took the bezel from. I then had to use a dremel and various grit of sand paper to thin the bezel enough where the locking ring would fit and hold the bezel in place (you will end up removing all of the clicking steps and a bit more to make it fit). The original bezel didn’t have a click feature either so it stays true to original functionality. Hope this helps.

You should hang out with my brother.
