I bought just the dial, planning to install it myself. I have jewelers tools and some watch jiggering experience.
If anyone comes across a nice example or two of the correct watch type on eBay or Amazon, perhaps post a link?
Thanks.

Plenty of them. Just remember that you need a 4 o'clock crown, and that the dial doesn't matter. So, look for a case shape and hands that you like.
You want a Seiko 5 with a 7S26 movement, like this: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...+7s26&_sacat=0
Or, if you're more into divers: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...+-new&_sacat=0
If you want something a little different, there are folks out there selling divers already modded. Just picture it with the 928 dial: http://www.ebay.com/sch/kontrolsport...p2047675.l2562
With a 7S26 dial, the world is your oyster!

- This one has a Rolex look to it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seiko-5-7s26...item43cf808b4c
- Interesting case shape here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seiko-5-Auto...item19f3ced568
- Integrated case/bracelet, if that's your thing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seiko-Men-5-...item19f3fff29d
- Kind of 70s-ish angular case here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Seik...item27ec28fafe

Looking good RKD - hope mine arrives soon! Going to Houston first week of October for the Rides & Rolex Concours. Would be nice to show my 928 watch while showing my 928!

RDK, looks like the cheaper Seiko keeps better time :-)
Andy, I might swing by the concurs, but I don't think I'll enter this year since I learned last year my cars, while nice, aren't concurs material (although I did get a metal for getting 3rd in class out of 3 :-) )

Very nice & you just happen to have the time set at 9:28 in the 1st pic. Lots of upcoming car functions over the next two months, starting with a car show this weekend I'm having my 968 cab in. Hope to get mine soon so as not to put the wear on my Leica 928 watch.

Shawn,
I had my -one only- watch in the mail. I received 1 of 2 ordered. Are you sending one later? I wonder if something went wrong.
I have to say I wasn't home for a while and there could have been no way that 2 boxes would have fit in the mailbox. (Our mailboxes are very small)
