Wrong hour hand? Please explain.........

The crown still looks to have too many teeth.

Oh my! Ive finally finished reading thru this whole page for the bp seadweller.. Ive yet to get a reply from Sead.

However on the other hand, i went to intime website, the site seem to have 2 edition. One with 2824-2 movement for $238 and the other is a $178 with a 2813 movement. Both stated the hi beat 28800bph.

Im torn between these two. Any kind souls could advise whether is the $178 already great enough to purchase.

and the best thing is, ive ordered the tc bracelet without even having the watch in hand!!

Ive read in some thread about bp using some other movements other than what is stated in the website. Maybe i should just wait for sead to get one for me and make sure its a hi-beat.

anyone knows how much sead is selling it for??

Sead has been sick but he will get back to you, BP may sometimes make a good looking watch on the outside but really based on three watches now the insides can be JUNK and the mechanical s of how they put them together is nothing short of retarded , that being said , get the BP 2836 and it will have a 2824 but it will look great, if the exterior of the 2813 is the same as the 2824 get it and put a new eta in with TC dial and hand hands and TC DWO v4 plus genuine crown and wso tube..gotta go

Thrasher! U live up to ur name.. U just brainwashed and thrashed my brain from only having the tc bracelet changed to what im doing now, which is looking at tc dial and hands.

Anyway why do people change the crown and tube..? Is the rep that bad...? I cant find a fault with it bec ive never seen a gen one in hand before.. :nerd:

TC Dial, TC hand, TC DWO, Gen Insert, then have JMB drill the case you have a very very close to Gen watch for about 700 bucks. Drilling the case IMO makes the experts out there question its validity as this was never done on the rep directly from China. Gen Crystal will not fit the BPSD I know because I tried and it was a 300 dollar lesson.

Adrian can machine the case to fit gen spec crystal ado213 . Gen insert. Yes. Gen crown more reliable. Contact tagfan1 for build specs for mine he is on vacation now as am i.

Just been able to get my hands on fully modded and serviced (misiekped) swiss eta plus TC parts 16600. It was nerve wrecking to get it from NY to Netherlands but now it is here and I love it. Wonder if I still want the Gen insert as the BP one with pearl lowered looks perfect to me.

Ps. Biggest difference between stock dial and hands is that the hands and markers look greenish on the BP. The TC Dial and Hands have a really nice creamy colour and wow that lume is just perfect

Since Adrian mixed up the machine work on tags case and mine and then Tagfan1 and I went on our vacations this project is big time delayed but like I told Tag I would rather wait and have an awesome watch then push it and maybe miss something.

That is a nice piece!
Waterproof? Can't help but wonder because of how close you are to a pool there.

On the later BPSD's the lume was pretty much an exact match for TC's. I had one with TC dial and hands and another with BP dial and hands and they looked identical to me so I sold the one with the TC stuff.

I'm not sure which is which in this picture. I think the TC is on the left.

I'd agree on that, if you would have them side by side in normal daylight it is an easy tell. But maybe indeed the latest dials and hands are better

I have still yet to test the proofing done by my TD's repair guy on my DSSD.
Too nervous.

To dive or not dive that's the question

The latest BP with the 2813 movement is a great bargain. Same case, bezel and crystal and no issues with dial and hands mismatching. Took mine out on dives OTB after just greasing the orings. The stock BP clasp is very, very good and takes a gen pin without mods.

I thought having a DSSD was enough but now I want one of these after this thread.
