BP Re-Releases 5-Digit Submariners with VR3135

[Hinclimincli]

Got some pictures of the Silix 16610LN dial for you guys. This is an RAF Case and hands, and gen insert. The seller will sell one dial if you message him directly.

Aren’t those maxi hands? Maybe you used a Kermit RAF as a base (the Kermit had maxi hands and maxi dial instead of the regular 5-digit dial & hands).

I did, it's the maxi minute hand from the Kermit. Didn't feel like ordering a new handset at this time.

hour markers are creamy off white and hands are white?

Hont in a rush before Chinese new year also the hands and markers difference is just how this batch of ARFs are sadly, not an RL issue cause it won't be different on another one.

What are the pros/cons of ARF vs BP? Which is best OOTB Is anyone able to summarise their knowledge? Digging through both threads and it's not clear to me

There are always pros and cons. If you want to Franken and do lots of mods, the ARF is probably your best bet but if you just want it ootb as a beater, the BP might be the best choice. Up to you what you can live with and not.

Mine just delivered, 318$ that’s bargain for 5digits

Next to ginault , cg and Case it’s really nice for this price

Anyone bought a Kermit yet and got actual BP QC pics

It looks fire! Just ordered 16610LN. Will be the first 5-d ever owned.

I reached out to Clark about a month ago and asked for a full AR no-cyclops 295 and he said it was in the works. So, hopefully soon we will see one available.

I got a Clark’s xtal coated with clear AR via an optician. I think it distorts the cyclops which already had AR coating. Might look better if I actually had it installed

Mock up below



Here is the stock Clark’s xtal with ar on cyclops only installed on my arf. Not as good black hole effect as gen or vsf but good clarity for money

Yes, already built a RAF from Sillian - but for the price and the flat/fat 4 ... also, looks like I need to replace the hour & second hands.

Good evening gents,
maybe I've missed it, but did someone checked the water resistance of this BP 5digit sub ootb?
