My first sale here after several years' membership, please go easy

For sale one Seiko SRPH17K1. It's about a year and a half old, I bought it just after it appeared on the market with the intention of using it as a "mod watch" that wasn't just the usual SKX base - upgrading the flat sapphire crystal, handset and bezel insert, exchanging it for a more useful - to me - 12h bezel, making use of its tight friction fit.

Unfortunately I can't find a single 12h aluminium bezel insert that will fit. As a visual change, I baked the original compass insert by itself in an oven for an hour and it went this lovely dark golden brown colour. I put it back using sized 3M double-sided adhesive segments, so will not be impossible to remove if you want to revert it to "raw".

But rather than fiddle with it further I'm going to call it a day and move on. Bezel insert aside, the rest of the watch is bone stock, it's never been opened, has good timekeeping at 8-12 sec/day depending on how it's used, and a good power reserve. Bracelet is original, untouched, sized once and then I put it in the box in favour of a Tropic, and then brown vintage leather after I baked the bezel.

£200 ($240) but open to reasonable offers. Thanks for looking!
