BP Seadweller: The secret "supermod" nobody is talking about:) It´s not about looks, it´s about "comfort".
Do You feel the bracelet is either too tight or too loose on the classic SD or the TC but just never right?
Just fix it swapping over a glide-lock clasp.

Simple, fast, suited for absolute Beginners, do-it Yourself with the help of just a screwdriver, reasonably cheap and efficient;
What You need: another BP or Noob Submariner or Seadweller with a glidelock-clasp;

0. put the 2 watches with the bracelets side by side in the same position
1. on the stock BP -Seadweller bracelet or the TC loosen 1 screw of the last visible link on each side of the clasp,
2. do the same to the other bracelet
3. swap over the clasp
4. tighten the screws on both sides
5. try it out and enjoy:)

If You want to buy just the branded aftermarket clasp ask the TD or get it on ebay:
Sub-C-type: http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-18mm-New...acelet-Deployment-Clasp-For-ROL-/311227255985 (they also have the DSSD - type). Please verify/check the size and other offerings but an 18mm/9mm clasp should be fine for the standard sub with 20mm lug-attachment.

This is how it looks, here on the TC-bracelet, but it´s the same on the stock SD-bracelet. Comfortable and the size is micro-adjustable in the morning/evening, hot/cold according to gusto: the classic Submariner/Seadweller with modern comfort benefits:)

Daywatch,
I'm wondering if that isn't the "easy link clasp" vs the glidelock? I've scoured the pics and it doesn't look like a glidelock. The easy link gives the 5mm adjustment vs. glidelock which gives 20mm. Can you clarify. Thanks!

Hi, well noted, first I had posted another which was not the right size. Best is to get one from TDs as we know what we are getting, even trying to be careful on ebay/alibaba things may slip. The DSSD one at least seems to work as it´s supposed to as alternative but pls re-check or contact the seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/9mm-New-Sil...sp-ROL-/161569799321?&tstore=1&tfrom=30858019 Somewhere there should be a glidelock as well.

Thanks for your links! I like your first link because I plan to buy one for my Explorer! The Easy link is totally fine by me. [emoji106]

be careful with this one! i picked this up to use as an 'a2836 clone' since it had movement tabs/screws, a dwo, and a gmt wheel (just in case i changed my mind in the future).

big mistake.

the seconds pinion sits very low on this 'hangzhou' movement. i ran a search about it after the fact and came up with people having similar issues. none of my regular seconds hands fit this movement (post was too short). some sources have the longer post seconds hands but that's a can of worms in itself (check out "wait a second" in the rolex section).

i'd just go for the standard a2836 clones out there and leave this hangzhou movement for those with the right hands.

What do you guys think of this watch is it the best for the price? Im looking for a sea dweller.

If you have any even better suggestions let me know what you think would be the best, detailed, closest to gen sea dweller in this range.

Can't see the second link but the first one you posted is of the BP sub. The one this whole thread is about! Only classic SD on the market right now.
