Glad to know the friendly forces now own and control Suppa. Might just snap up a Zilla soon

Bought my Suppa parts in the same time I bought my Autozilla: Love them and would never use anything else.
If they are made in titanium, that would be the cherry on the top!
Congrats Steve!

looks really great!! I am not familiar with "Suppa parts" can you explain it for me.

The suppa parts adapters work with the Citizen divers that are like this one (auto-zilla, eco-zilla, stainless and titanium). All of these watches come with a rubber strap that is fitted into the case, there are no lugs or lug bars on these Citizen divers.

The suppa parts are perfectly machined to drop right in and allow the use of any 24mm strap.

4 screws on the back and the ring comes off allowing the citizen rubber strap to easily come off.

Below is the citizen rubber strap with the metal where the screws pass through to hold it in place.

Below is the suppa parts adapter to allow lugs, lug bars and 24mm straps.

below you can see how they easily drop into place.

The ring goes on and screw it back down. The case back is never opened during this installation process as you can see.

below is a bad lume shot but you can see the blue color is really nice.

thanks for the breakdown, steve, and the really great photos. I didn't realize the ecozillas were made up of parts like this, I never saw one in the wild... dog smile.gif

No one I have dived with has owned one on or off the job,.

great news- i predict a glut of ss suppas hitting the market soon!

have had 3 different versions of ecozilla, and the ti version is definitely the best.

killer combo would be ti adaptors.

btw what strap is that?

one suggestion- when i had a set of suppas i nearly did a screw-bar mod on them using a 2mm diam bar. One thing i always felt was that the bar or spring bar was always too thin given the robustness of the case.

next versions should either be able to accommodate "fat" spring bars of have panerai-egi type large screw-in bars.... just my 50c
