Help Requested: Sapphire Crystals for Seiko Baby Tuna (SRPH77), PADI Arnie (SNJ035), and Mini Turtle (SPDY109) [Baby Turtle] [Save the Ocean]
Apparently Crystal Times does not carry sapphires for the Save the Ocean Baby Tuna (SRPH77):

Or for the PADI Arnie (SNJ035):

I've also had difficulty sourcing a sapphire for my new Mini Turtle SPDY109:

Can anyone help point me in the right direction? I'm relatively new to modding and located in the USA, in case that's relevant.

Thanks! I'll give them a try.
Update: DLW doesn't carry sapphire crystals for any of these models. I'm still waiting to hear back from Namokimods.
Update 2: Namokimods also doesn't carry sapphires for any of these. Yobokies appears to have sapphires for the SNJ035 and SPDY109, but the SRPH77 appears to be a mystery.

Oh man. This sucks. Really hope you can find what you’re looking for, and soon!
I would love to find a spare crystal for the Tuna MarineMaster 300 too. Drop me a DM if you find any good sources for obscure Seiko crystals 🙏?

The best I've found is https://theyobokies.com/

Wow!! I actually found one 🥳 I might need to have a spare because of the extreme dome on the hardlex it's super easy to get scratches on the "tip" of the crystal...
Update 3: https://theyobokies.com/ appears to have sapphires for all three of the watches mentioned previously—and I've just ordered the sapphires to find out for sure. Here's the breakdown:
SNJ035: https://theyobokies.com/?mod=product&sec=item&task=detail&id=499
SPDY109: https://theyobokies.com/?mod=product&sec=item&task=detail&id=49
SRPH77 (appears to be a 28mm crystal): https://theyobokies.com/?mod=product&sec=item&task=detail&id=184
I hope that this helps folks in the future! 🙏
