BP Sea-Dweller 16600 re-release with VR3135

[Lampa]

just bought a 16600 of the new batch here on the forum. Will report back when I have it in my hands.

first project will be to polish the side of the bracelet and reshape the cg:s a little.

otherwise, I think they look perfectly fine!

I have one of the thicker CG cases incoming. Thinking of doing a 16660 fat guard rep with it.

Here’s my approved QC.

 

[bowtiefanatc]

Guards are definitely off and thicker.

Yea there’s a few things that aren’t perfect but honestly it doesn’t bother me much

@Snil thanks for sharing, crapy photos from dealer ...isnt the hev color to bright? should have been greyish ? or is just because of the plastics
cg I can live with it but probably I will send it to reshape, depends

That’s what matters. You could also do a 16660 style rep if you really wanted to. That’s my plan for my extra BP 16600 case

Great! Looking fwd to see your result after this especially the cg, mine is on the way maybe next week I’ll have it in hand

A quick polish on the bracelet, a little sanding on the cg's and now it's good.
Can't be perfect, it's an old watch after all.

Thank you, what you use ? dremel ?

@flashu Dremel is your best friend.

Here is the final result my friends.
I should add that I am no expert on this. I am happy with the result and hope I can motivate some of you.
Now there is only one polishing left, then you can start rocking this beauty!

Great job, looks like right cg is hair thicker ?

Ok, i was thinking to send it for a professional reshape of the cg but probably I will go in with the dremel then polish

Anyway these are old watches many times polished and over polished so it will look authentic

It's not perfect like I said, but I'm happy!
It's not a new watch so it shouldn't be perfect.
