BP Re-Releases 5-Digit Submariners with VR3135

muiramas · 12/1/24

TBH, even with the SH, I'd still take the BP over the 'ARF' - which isn't actually anything to do with ARF.

My BP 16710 and 16600 are amongst my favourite reps - they aren't perfect, but they are somehow greater than the sum of their parts.

Can't get it better in focus with my old phone

i liftet a bit the Bezel and you can see the clicker.

Yes the watch is awesome, really blows me away. Even with the SH it is awesome.

ARF wins in some areas but BP is more than enough for me. Hopefully mine doesn't take too long shipping.

not quite, ARF 4xx Benjamins - BP 3xx Benjamins, value ratio still with BP , imagine if they all had also the VR

Is the BP re-leased 16610LN compatible with a gen insert? Thanks

*I could not find a definite answer in the thread, only that older versions had some differences in measurements

no he can not. ARF yes

Did we find out what the dial diameter is on these yet? Gen dial swap? Or did I miss it?

Be honest? What, you think there are a bunch of senior members in here making stuff up to each other.

Why is the ARF better (its not made by ARF...) - because you got one?

SMH.

i talked with KJ about this. BP Rehaut opening is more narrow. Gen Dial will not fit (propably). ARF Dial need to be tested if it fits.
ARF Rehaut opening is wider and can take a gen Dial.

Agreed. I may have to give this a try.

I think it's unlikely they would have changed the dial supplier or commissioned a new dial. But AFAIK no one has actually measured one of the new release dials or tried a gen dial fit in this new batch.

This post relates to the previous SA3135 batches.
