subjeff , when you say the hands are better , are they still the wrong colour ?
The 2 i purchased early 2013 were way off and opted to change out the dial and hands to TC. The 2 I got at the end of last year I left stock. They were that good IMHO.

I could have just been lucky and got 2 great watches... BP is not known for their strict quality controls. That being said, I do think they improved and it was not luck.

I have an early version of the BP SD, with the green(ish) hands. As you guys were discussing the bracelets, mine is complete crap. Especially the clasp, which pops open by itself. Was really keen on ordering a TC bracelet but reading that they have improved the bracelet on the last BP watches? Which way to go then...

Got my bp sd a few days ago and it hasn't left my wrist since. Leaving the tells aside, the watch is amazing.

Does anyone have both noob v3 sub and bp sd?

Work with what you've got unless modding isn't your thing or shipping off to modder isn't an option

I second this!
I just changed mine because i already had the TC parts and i like TC dial better!

But i have owned both new and old versions...and the hands and dial has been improved!..Also the bracelet looks to be improved!
Although i like the cg's on the old case set better!

I want another one, but now the 2014 ceramic SD is out and not sure what would be best.. I think the BP SD is better.. Right? Especially with the new enhancements.

Well PC just put up pics of the new ceramic SD....It's not looking to hot!...I would wait.(For V2) for awhile until they do some more work on improving some things!
With the BPSD you can mod it to be close! Plus parts are plentiful!

For the BP bracelet, the feel is quite substantial and solid. The SEL is perfect. I know this totally contradict with some of the members' comment here. I had a TC v6 before and BP bracelet still wins in terms of feel. Am I the only one here?

Also, the BP bracelet I received with mine takes a gen "dimpled" clasp spring bar without modifications. The TC clasp needed to be drilled/reamed wider. Just FYI

no mate, yu're not alone... my modder is working at my franken sd, more gen parts on it but...... bp bracelet on it, not tc. :eek:hwell:

i have tc bracelet, maybe it is more gen like on touch and softer than bp... but i love the color of my bp, more "white" steel than my tc

I handled a gen bracelet before. Bp's weight if not entirely but extremely close to gen. I love TC's (93250) in terms of fine finishing but the weight is just not right.
