The A2836 would be a good choice but just because BP factory tells the Dealer something don't be surprised if you get an A2824 with a big washer behind the dial, In the end it really dosent matter because the watch looks great for a fantastic price, Plus you can mod the heck out of it easily if not cheaply.

I have a question that I'm sure has been answered on here but I'm hoping someone can verify this..... I bought a BP seadweller for my dad last year. It has the high beat cheaper movement in it. It won't stay wound so I'm going to buy a new movement and have it installed. The hands should swap with a Sellitta SW220-1? I appreciate any help on this.

Gen Crystal

Wow! Post some more pics when you get a chance!
Also i would like to comment that the gen insert is not that shinny as the provided bp insert. Also the pearl on the bp insert is very improved but not close to gen. So the gen insert is a must have mod, if you can afford it...

I'm interested in the noob v2 sd4k cause I was told it's the best 1:1 Clone. How does the BP version compare?BPSD hands down !
Heres mine ....

I think it will work and if you need to switch a couple parts to make the hands fit, you can take them from the old Movement Tagfan1 would know the answer for sure but I think he has a big work project going as I have not heard from him in a couple weeks.
I have a question. Gen pin bracelete screws can be installed in tc bracelet?
Also what size of screwdriver is the correct one? 1.4mm or 1.6mm?

The high beat cheaper movement ?
Would that be the POS clone (Z2)
or A2824
or A2836
or DG4813
These are all cheaper high beats
Gotta give us a little more to work with to give a definitive answer.
Can you post a pic of the movement?
youre comparing apples to peaches. The sd4k v2 you mention is a ceramic version 116600. The bpsd is a classic version 16600. Pls inform yourself about the difference before purchasing.
As was said above this thread is for the Rolex 16600 classic Sea Dweller, Typically made by BP and used in its stock form its a very good rep out of the box for a very reasonable price. It seems the current movement being used by BP is the 2824. The A2824 and A2836 both have beat rates of 28K when someone refers to a cheap hi beat they typically mean a 2813 which is suppose to be low beat. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Everyone with questions about anything else should PM Sub4me who will probably have you banned for a week or electrocuted. Please now watch this video.

Well actually they can come with a ETA 2824, ETA 2836
A2824,A2836, DG4813, Z2 POS clone...all high beats, with the A2824, A2836, DG4813, and Z2 all being cheaper
Seems like the 4813s are making a comeback to a degree
The 2813 is a low beat but Z2 is also improperly being called a "2813 high beat "
I think the 4813s might also now
I understand as all Asian movements are cheap to a degree I don't look down on the A2824 or A2836 as they are fairly reliable. It seems though that the BP SD has been showing up lately with a A2824 and a big washer behind the dial as a stand off. I wish mine had had a A2836 but in the end it doesn't matter as Tagfan and Adrian have been changing almost every part.

I'm sorry for the lack of information on that movement. I'm not 100% sure what it is. I will attach a thread that may clear it up.

I'm sorry but the high beat 2846 does exist, in the form of a Tissot NOS movement, I'm just looking for proof, or you can ask Vac or Tagfan1

Are you talking about this mod by chance?

Stock-wise I'm sure they only came low-beat but I'd be interested to find out.
