In fact, I compared the two myself and found them to be very well done.

The 54Watch is a good base if you are looking for a 62MAS build that is true to the original.

It is interchangeable with the 28.5m dial and does not have the same chapter ring as the original.
The recently sold 6217Dial for NH35 will fit.

54 watch case size is stated 37mm, wasn't the 62MAS a 40 mm case?

The original SEIKO 6217-8000 a.k.a 62MAS has a 37mm case.

Re-issued new version SBDX019/SLA017 is 39.9mm.

I’m embarking on a 62MAS build myself. Ordered dial and hands from Namoki, but the base watch from another local modder. Will post pics once I put it together.

I had the same question on the bezel insert width. I prefer the narrower version on the original 62MAS. Glad to see I’m not the only one pondering compatibility with the later wider bezel type from the reissues.

Was wondering if anyone found a source for a modern screw down full “SEIKO” signed crown?

Original 62MAS was 37mm
