Anyone have to trim down their TC dial? Just got mine, installed and the indices at the top are fully visible and the ones at the bottom at 6 are half visible.

I got mine from Sora yesterday and picked it up today. I went for the cheaper 2813 movement option because I plan on building a franken with the case set using a y3135 movement and gen dial. Not soon though. I have to say the dial and hands look amazing. The pearl is definitely a vast improvement. The case back is very good as well.

The CGs are very good on this unit and the crystal height has vastly been improvement. The bezel is tighter than I want, but works as it should. The click is bothering but I'll take it apart later when I can tackle the build.

I have it on a TC bracelet, however, I have to say that the BP bracelet is actually very, very good. The clasp print is very good. Diver's extension looks great also. This compared to the TC unit. The end link's engraving is crisp.

The TC bracelet fit with no issues on the 12 o'clock side and slight sanding needed on the 6o'clock side.

Having worked on the firs BP and some silix SDs as well as a few SSDs and Jackjo SSDs I can say these are very very good.

The BP Sea Dweller has come a long way baby ! Closer, closer, bit by bit ! Have the same watch with a A2836-2 and it is a nice one! This and the better 16610's are the ones to have.

Thanks to P4GTR I have another BPSD on its way. Already contacted my buddy Tonyy to water proof it. Its going to be a gift for my boss who has borrowed mine for several weeks and has been asking for one. This will be his X-Mas present. whoohoo

Oh and TC2824 how could I forget... Beautiful movement runs about +3 sec per day, winds like butter!

I got my BPSD a couple weeks ago and the hands were still ehh. Had a greenish tint to them and didn't match the hour markers. Your results may vary though. I didn't care as I was swapping them out for TC components anyway.

Got the tc hands and tc dwo on. Just need a crown swap for reliability. This is a crazy good rep. I have a TC bracelet on the way but the Bp bracelet is really nice. I will see how much more the tc is over this but I am really happy.
