BP Re-Releases 5-Digit Submariners with VR3135

[KJ2020]

Here I thought I needed to get it all cut up. Ordered! Thanks D.

That link is for a 6 digit Sub so the pre-cut film is not going to fit exactly on the clasp. It should be able to be custom trimmed to be usable. The positions of the coronet are different, etc.

Correct. I was able to use a (spare) link film (you get several) that fit over the coronet and held it there for a few minutes till it adhered to the band. Worked just fine and sealed around the coronet.

PS.... Couldn't find the 5 digit film.

Agreed.

Just did this and works just fine. Waiting for it to cure.

Like a phone screen cover. Just need patience.

Ok I’ll bite. Obsessed with 5 digits lately.

Does anyone have a side by side of BP’s 16610 with a gen?
Debating whether to shave 0.5mm of lug sides to reduce the chamfer width as @KJ2020 suggested. BP’s lugs do seem slightly thicker than gen but hard to tell without a side-by-side pic

What about a shark with a gen 16508 faded blue insert?

Finally got my 16613LN properly upgraded (by the best Rolex modder around ). Case needed work and on mine the SEL fit was terrible.

- Gen crystal, insert, hands.
- Case work, lugs, chamfers, brush & polish.
- Gen springbars fixed the bad SEL fitting.

Now the look and feel are definitely better, love it .

Until now, nothing.
Got her today. Plan is to do the lugholes, shape the lugs a little and fix the bezel play

This looks like a ARF.

Update on this. It has fully cured and you cannot tell it is on. Amazing that this is available. I sure recommend it.
