Just read through the entire thread, and essentially came to the conclusion that the BP I just picked up is no good lol. @TheHokage i saw you flipped yours, right after. Safe to assume it's better to start off with a better base?

Anything I can do to make the BP better as far as dial goes? It was cheap enough that I wouldn't mind tinkering with it, and I made sure to re-read the thread to make sure the answer wasn't posted already lol

Yeah, the BP wasn't a good base to start off with. I quickly bought a TC along with a couple of parts to get things rolling and built off of that and am now just awaiting my bracelet. The BP is just a bad base that will need a lot of modding and time compared to a TC, ST, or WM9

Will this work as the end link and the rest all plated rep? Also - this doesn't seem to look right but might be angle. Shouldn't the gold part be longer?

 

[JackJ1980]

Or would this work on a blue rubber b?

Beats me, that does not look right at all it also looks slightly used in that photo but I think you are right about the angle. The description says it is an 18K endlink. It does not look like the Rubber B endlinks I have seen on Ebay. Like all sellers they need to work on their photo skills lol. @occb2 and @QueTip are more familiar with ST.

I went AR LEC because I prefer it, and @occb2 had one already fitted lol. I have a No AR No LEC in the box but i doubt I will swap it.
