BP Seadweller.. Best SD available Period

No need for a new bracelet. All you will need is gen spring bars for lug holed cases. The BP bracelet is actually pretty decent.
It has TC bracelet currently but shouldn't I have a hollow end link bracelet for lug holes?

No sir. The seadweller 16660-16600(with lug holes) had an SEL setup. The TC bracelet coupled with gen lug hole spring bars will be more than adequate.
Or if you get stuck PBdad can do them, I asked him if he could drill a TC sub case for me and quoted $65 ish

Nice Turbo! Did you need some work to put the gen insert on the bp bezel?

Fitting a gen insert on the BP or SSD is just like on a gen Rolex. The secret is working it into the bezel all the way around until one small part isn't in. Then turn it over and push it down hard on that area on a desk top or something hard and roll that last part till it snaps in. You can't get it to go in with a press no matter how hard you try if you try to press it all at once.
Not so sure its bigger than the diameter. My thinking is there's a slight lip on the top edge of the bezel groove and the insert snaps under the lip. That's probably why you have to work most of it in before getting the last bit to go. I had the same gen insert originally in the SSD and it snapped in hard when it finally went. The only way to get it out was to take the bezel off the case first and push it out from the back. When I put it in the BP bezel it also snapped in but just a little easier than on the SSD case. You can tell when it finally pops in that it's not going to fall out. No glue necessary.
Here's a good little tutorial I found on Google for installing a gen insert. http://www.instructables.com/id/Remove-and-replace-the-bezel-on-your-Rolex-Submari/
