Looks good to me. But I'm no expert

 

[Matteo1989]

looks great as well for me .. we look forward to the judgment of the experts ..

I have the 316 version. Don't think it will be worth it to buy the 904 version. Not much difference on the wrist.

You have my attention

You have my attention

the dial seems perfect

The dial is great. A vast improvement to JF's / ARF's / Noob's attempt. The indices are near perfection. The print is very good.
The rehaut, clasp engravings and sel finish suck dead bunnies though.
Lug shape is slightly different compared to JF / ARF, but just as incorrect, if not worse. No factory has managed to replicate a good oyster case yet.
I will buy a BP dial after cny and put it in my JF 3132. Lume seems much better than the other dials as well.

The watch is not worth it, except for the dial in my opinion.

I confirm with everything you wrote .. the dial compared to others is the best .. to make a great 99% indentric explorer tip case and bracelet arf dial bp crown of cute gen confirm with my idea?

Is there a way we can buy that BP dial on its own rather than buying the entire watch just to harvest the dial?

sure that yes .. through any td ..

The JF crown is good enough to me. It‘s also very smooth once I cleaned the threads. You can‘t go wrong with gen parts though, of course.

perfect .. arf cassa + arf braciale + bd dial .. 99% identical to gen

would the dial fit the 3132 movement since it is made for 2824?

It‘s not a direct fit, if that‘s what you‘re asking.
But it can probably be made to fit, which requires sanding and some skill.

Does the 904 steel version offer any improvements over the previous 316 steel version? (Besides the steel)

What's the difference between the link above and this one > https://www.intime03.co/rollie/5273...edition-904l-ss-case-and-bracelet-sh3132.html

Is the only difference the cloned movement?

 

[jamesezra]

Actually, BP's lume is not all that great. After going through a few factories, I tend to stand in the argument that ARF/Noob have the best lumes around. Even my JF Kermit's lume is just acceptable at best.

 

[jamesezra]

the dial as it is compared to the gen?

From wrist, the dial looks spot on.
If we are gonna be worried about how the dial looks from a microscopic level, I think we better not buy any reps. Either that, or get new friends who don't scrutinize every aspect of your life.

BP is a great watch as is, if you just want something OOTB with an ETA and no modding hassles. Quite happy with mine, SELs have a nice recess. I see absolutely no difference between my 316L model and the new 904L.
