Oh. Yea sead, the td told me that too. Guess I'm just being an anxious newbie. Thanks for clearing it up.

The BP sea dweller pearl is excellent you can hardly tell the difference between it and the gen one side by side, your one looks good from the photo :)

You saying that looks like this? They're nothing alike. And you don't need to being throwing "it's a scam" around like the Sead is out to screw him. He's been around a lot longer than you have.

Nothing like the Sub C. We are talking macros here with poor lighting and reflections.

SeaD said there weren't anymore flat ones left, I approved the QC pics after he told me it was correct and that this was a "newer version". I guess not. I'll just replace it if anything, does anyone know where I can get a correct pearl?

I'm talking about the pearl being flat, as was the OP. The gen pearl is not flat, it has a convex piece of glass or sapphire over the lume.

You may or may not be right about the height of the wall of the retainer. It's awful hard to tell about that in the picture but I can assure you Sead knows what they are supposed to look like and he's seeing it in person. Another picture certainly is in order to make sure.

The ceramic pearl has a very thin chrome ring which is fully filled by the pearl. This one obviously has the correct width of the ring same as the gen I pictured.
