New BP Sea Dweller: Extreme makeover

[botsyboy]

The dial is rotated slightly left of centre in the case

Problem is that the date is perfectly centered. If the dial is moved the date will be too high in the window.

Bezel insert aligned properly now. I think the 12 dial marker no longer looks off centre, what do you guys think?

the most beautiful sd i've seen. I don't know if this is due to Bp dial also, but it's really nice.

after seeing this pics, i decided for me : SD 2836 with eta clark hands.. $ 35 - less than TC hands.. TC bracelet and Dial.. and many money for labor, i think..
:facepalm:

Spend the extra 35 for the TC hands. The lume matches. With Clarks you will see very little lume.

Agree, tc hands are really good. Exact same color lume as dial. You will not regret.

Personally, I alway think that a dial which can't be centered looks terrible.

ya you're right. today I have sento email to know if TC has hands, bracelet and dials for SD in the UK ready to send (so to avoid triangulation US+Uk +Italy)..

After hearing some of the comments here and realising the dial and bezel were a bit off centre, I sent the watch back to Adrian with the hope he would at least get the bezel insert centred on top of the 12 triangle.

However, Adrian took it one step further and decided to assemble the perfect dial out of markers from other dials, the old faulty TC dial and the BP dial.

Result can be seen on the right, all the best finished and centred dial markers on the best dial! Talk about rep dedication!

Feel more excited than ever about this watch!

Any updates?

Any updates?

We are stuck at the moment. We need a new crown since the TC one is problematic.

No luck sourcing a new one yet.

Other than that the watch is ready for assembly.

If anyone has a crown that might fit I'd love to buy it

PM me. I may have something. E

God Damn! That SD looks amazing

I def want one but not sure what to do? build a full TC with his movement or just order a BP?

That franken dial looks superb! Cheers to Adrian for doing such great work!

You still need a case from BP, TC has no case.

You got a PM!

Forgot to post pictures of the final assembly.

All in all Adrian did an amazing job and after several more tweaks I am finally satisfied.

This piece has no tells IMO!

Have you read the thread about the crystal upgrade?
