BP factory Superlumed Sea-dweller BPSD meets TC SD bracelet [mini tutorial]

[mikeshark007]

What tc bracelet is this, as he has two versions listed? I think it was v1 and v2

 

[Q5?]

There is only one SD bracelet on his site!

 

[mikeshark007]

Got it, sorry

Nice post buddy. That TC bracelet fits like a glove - perfect. Are you going to bother changing the hands?

Nice post. If you do other work on your watches in the same work area, you may consider filing and sanding in another spot. I will bet that most folks do dirty work and clean work in different areas. You don't want filings and abrasives in your movements or on your dials.

Just my .02

He just sent me a Email the other day. Confirming price and stock!
So he has them ready for sale. And also told me in the email that he had plenty of parts for sale if any one was looking. This will be my four TC bracelet that I will own. The other three one being a SD bracelet had polished side links.

Congrats!!!! Nicely done!

Well done!!! rep points to you!

Well deserved mate, congrats.:cheers:

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments. I'm just happy to have shared this mini tutorial since there's lots of interest in it. :cheers:

Problem is the gen SD bracelet has polished link edges. The TC sub bracelet doesn't.

That's correct, TC sub bracelet has brushed side but we are using TC's 93160A seadweller bracelet that has polished sides to fit in the BP SD.

TC SD bracelet polished sides shown here.

Great tutorial! Btw, the TC links have the sides polished as per gen..

Spot on!

TC only has one bracelet listed for the SD, the TC 93160A. Here's the link.

Cheers buddy, I'd probably enjoy the BP SD first and then find replacement hands that matches the color and has superlume too.

For those on the fence.. $40 is nothing! It will just make you SD look more legit! Here is my SD with SD.. One of the SEL's was surprisingly easy to insert-- didn't require sanding. The other did just a tad. But, anyone should be able to do it with sanding paper-- it's what I used.

 

[ebzen02]

It's the best SD for $200 one can ever buy..

Looking good ebzen. :thud:

Thanks for the how-to, I just ordered my SD and TC bracelet last week.

Does anyone know if the TC datewheel will fit this movement? Does the Datewheel look legit?
I am thinking a complete overhall with TC bracelet, Dial, Hands, and Datewheel and Gen Insert. Any ideas?

Not sure if it will fit, the datehweel is an issue on mine, left justified , although I think it may be able to be fixed if it could be re-aligned.

Bump for the BPSD crowd.

Hello,
I would like to know what is different between TC bracelet and classic replica bracelet?
Only the solid end link??
Thanks

The overall fit and finish in my opinion much better. Pretty close to gen. :cheers:

 

[Qbacce]

Ok thank you so much

 

[tranzmizzion]

Which sd is this? I have the $128.00 one with the updated pearl and a tc bracelet on the way, wondering if i should upgrade.


Awesome tutorial!
