Of all the fine details being discussed in this thread, I have yet to see anyone mention the poor application of the white paint in the bezel markers. Is it just me?

The rest of the watch looks pretty good, yes the engravings are deeper, but the white paints a mess. Especially in the triangle...QC photos in another members thread even had a crack in the triangle.

That one sucked, but spillover is super easy to deal with - you cant scratch ceramic (easily at least), so just scrape it off.

I think you're talking about a diff watch - the 2836's in these are all "tarted up" ones that have red painted gears and engraving in an attempt to make them look kindof sortof like 3135's (but they just look like 2836's with painted gears and folex engravings instead)

Both of the watches pictured were from SEAD (Supermirrors) who is selling the BP model if I understand correctly and it is different from the NOOB model. I received them just in the past few weeks.

Maybe the factory is sourcing whatever movements they can find to put inside these and it is random as to what you might get??? Or does SEAD just buy the cases and have someone else build his version?

Weird! As far as I know that's the one sead is selling, yes, but they are supposed to be the painted movements.

My sead sub came in, everything looks nice. But my pearl went flying, my fault I knew of the issue but just rushed to wear it. No bezel issues to note, smooth movement...for now, the clasp leaves a bit to be desired, but may swap out to rubberb. Nice watch definitely will be in the rotation.

Today arrived my watch from Sead, paid for the item 10 days ago ', No qc photo and no tracking, and just opened the package I noticed that the watch has the wrong hours hands...
I am not satisfied, I'll ask 'if you will send' another watch...

I just got my watch from Sead and Thank God I got QC pics and made sure he committed that the watch didn’t have bezel issues and got the correct hands on hour marker.
Sorry for crappy pics but all I have is my Iphone right now.


I have a two noob questions.

One, the lume on this watch is not very bright at all. Does it need to stay in ambient light for a while before it illuminates fully?

Second question. The bracelet adjustment is slipping a lot making the watch slightly loose on my wrist. I needed to take out three links as I have a 7inch wrist. IS there something I need to adjust or be aware of?

Mine doesnt have fat hour hand. I would of got one with fat hour hand if I didnt go back and forth with Sead. Seems like BP factory is all over the place. First versions had that wok Rehaut. Then QC issues with Bezel and then fat hour hand. Maybe they ran out of parts and are throwing shit together. IDK. But moral of story is get good QC shots first.

I want to say thank you to RSH. I missed the fat hand until he pointed it out to me.
