hey Lads,
i have purchased a bp 16600 on DH Gate for approximatly 130$ on sale ( the Sales usualy are Fake Sales...so price the same anyways :D )
i saw a Topic here saying the bp is the best ...they put pics of modded ones there, iwould like to know if someone would be kind enough to share their pics of non modded bp 16600 here and please give me your opinions on this watch as I would realy like to know what exactly I have purchased since I had the bp 16610 submariners before and they rocked,
cheers and thanks to everyone who comments or shares pics,
CouchP.

It is hands down my favorite non-Ceramic Rolex diver. I think I’ve had four or five. They are very good out of the box.

I have never modded any of mine. I have one now and another one on its way.

The formers:

I think any Td can, just email them and they can source it.

Rolexes look SO much better without that ugly cyclope!

Now, this or a Sub ceramic no date (114060)?

To each their own. I like both, I like this even more. Your choice.

Is BP the only current 16600 manufacturer? Is this a BP at Puretime (see link below)

https://puretimewatch.io/watch-brands/rolex/sea-dweller/sea-dweller-16600-superlumed-eta2836.html

mclarendude This link at Puretime is for an EATA2836 1660 for $428. Is this a BP just like yours?

The date font does not look neat like a BP. I doubt the watch is.

I am somewhat certain that BP is the only maker of 16600’s lately. But. I could be wrong.

BP SD’s should be easily sourced by any TD still and they pop up on the M2M often (and I buy most of them :p)

Good eye. Yes, the date font on the link I posted is quite bold/fat.

As far as I know you can only get a 2824/3135 now of the Bp, the 2836 was discontinued long ago. Either varient are under 300 usd I believe, I had both

I kept the 3135 as I swapped out parts for gen.
