Anyone knows if there is a jubilee you can source for this BP which will fit?

I tried, will not fit unless you bend the springbars ( like crazy ) I gave up!

Cr7juv by any chance do you know if bp insert will fit into tc sub?
I think my watchmaker was able to fit one, if you check my posts there is one with flat 4 title, I cant remember if it was a BP or aftermarket.

It won't. TC is gen spec, BP is not

Gen 30.6mm/37.65mm
BP 30.6mm/30.4mm

Sorry the measurements are ID / OD?
if so the OD for BP is typo?
Thinking of putting BP insert on a JF, which I think is Gen spec similar to TC. Not sure if this can be done

Those measurements are ID/OD and the BP measurement should be 30.6mm/ 37.4mm, thanks! That's why It will not fit in a JF or TC or any other gen spec bezel. It will sit in the bezel well but have a gap all the way around and not look good at all. By the same token a gen or gen spec aftermarket insert will not fit in a BP without sanding.

I think the BP OD you listed is a typo ;) , should read 37.4 , no?

This one is an absolute perfect fit. SEL is flush against the case nice recess, etc. So they are out there. Unfortunately I can't tell you where it came from originally. I got it on an M2M BP 16710 which couldn't have come on it, the Jubilees on those had HEL not SEL. This one has a hidden clasp (super jubilee) so it may be an ARF. It's a lot better quality than BP - the inner links have smooth edges unlike BP's rough cut cheap ones.

KJ2020 20 Do you happen to know some knowledge about this insert from WM? Price is very reasonable not even a half the price compare to JF insert from our TD. As for the color I guess it's very close to B1 or B2 with flat 4 number. Do you think this is the correct time period for TC Type II?

Sorry bro I have no experience with that one. It's not a great pic, hard to gauge exact color. The pearl looks horrible. I've bought a few of these gen-spec ones from WSO on Ebay. You might have to send a few back til you get a good one though. They stack them either in production or shipping and sometimes it leaves a permanent ring mark on them.

You can see it faintly on this one between 20-30. Some are much worse.
