BP Seadweller.. Best SD available Period

[kohr]

How much time is it losing? Is it ETA?

BP Factory is known to install crappy old, used movements in their "ETA" powered reps.

It's an ETA clone, and it looses quite a few seconds a day. I'd say within 2 weeks it's two minutes slow or so, and will require a resetting. Never appears to gain any time.

Like I said I sent it out to one of our modders, whom now is kinda inactive around here. I paid him to overhaul it, but same result, never gains time, always looses.

Spend $90 on ebay and buy a new Seagull movement to replace the 2836. you will find it remarkably accurate.

Finally my BPSD has landed!
First of all, thanks to Sead. He's really a great guy to deal with and he always delivers great pieces.
The watch is amazing. I can only compare it to my old noob 114060 no date and it is so much better.
The stainless steel is whiter, the finish of the case is better, fantastic lume etc....
I'm impressed by the crystal, too.
I tried it with the original clasp but honestly the glidelock is soooooo much better, so I decided to use it on the SD.

What I don't like is the noise of the 2813 rotor (actually louder than the 2836 of the 114060) and the bezel teeth, not very sharp actually.
The bracelet is visually nice but doesn't feel very solid: probably my next purchase will be the TC bracelet.

Overall, I am very happy. The quality is great and this watch is so cheap that really makes you want to upgrade it with gen or TC parts.
Just a couple of quick pics taken with the iPhone.

I received parts from TC some days ago. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed considering the bracelet. I've also got a 93250 bracelet from him and this is much better. Finishement is absolutely great against the 93160. SD bracelet has to be reworked. The surface isn't completely smoothed overall especially on the underside of SELs and the diver's extension.
His dial and hands are nearly flawless and the crown with tube is perfect, too.
The old Noob 93160 from my SSD V2 is better in terms of quality against TC's. The steel color is whiter and brighter on Noob's part. Only the SELs are different because of old 3 piece construction.
Will see what I'm able to do with those parts...



Cheers

I just tried to swap over a Noob SD bracelet to my BPSD and couldn't get the spring bars to fit.

I guess you have relumed dial and hands because the greenish/grey of bp dial and hands

 

[Agentoso74]

Oh. Nope. I relumed it coz the lume was lousy.

 

[benjji]

Which heart did you use Agentoso? The rotor of my 2813 is very loud and I was thinking to look for a better quality movement.

yes sure, they fit !!

 

[Rudy40]

Any ETA hands will most likely fit the High beat movement...Just make sure its the new high beat movement...Been reports of another funky 21j movement's being put in the new BP SD...

 

[KBH]

The original DG4813 hi-beat won't take ETA hands. Don't know which one you guys are talking about other than the new "funky" one in the BP SD.

 

[rupert37]

Hi guys,
did anyone ever tried to swap the bezel ring of the BpSd?
Maybe with a Clark or a Startime?
The bezel teeth of the BpSd aren't very sharp and I'd like to know if it's possible to change it.
Thanks.
