Advice on a seadweller 43

[bono10]

Hi Guys. Looking to buy sd 43 from members or TD.

I had an offer from BK for about 778$ for his sd with Swiss eta mouvmemt. The communication with Bk is great but I wonder if it actually worth it to pay extra 300$ for his mods.

Any educational advice will be appreciated

Your call. If you buy one from a dealer, it'll have a Asian clone 2824. It might run for years or crap out immediately and need a service or ETA movement swap. For new members, the ability to get a reliable movement in a package is appealing.

So actually buying one from a member is actually better?

How about the ones Bk sales? Are they actually have a brand new Swiss eta in them?

Thanks

If they didn’t I don’t think he’d be a TD here, BK sells good watches. You pay a premium for it but it is what it is....

BK guarantees a new ETA movement, and no customs in the US. Your call if it's worth the cost difference. It's a good option for newer members who don't know how to navigate through this hobby and those who just want to buy and wear, no issues.

Take a leap of faith and go for BK, its worth it.

Looks like those fellas are giving some pretty good advice. I've taken a lot of good advice from this forum and it has always worked out well.
I can only add that if you spend the extra, and later decide a SD43 isn't for you, I imagine you won't take much of a loss on a BK ETA SD43. Rolex is a pretty popular choice.

Hi guys, did anyone end up purchasing an SD43 from BK? I am in the process of doing so myself right now, with all his mods and also seeing if he can fit a prof xtal for it at the same time. That should be (although a $1k watch), a very nice, and reliable, piece at the end of it all. Working out the costs etc, its pricier but not by a huge amount but interested to hear thoughts!
