I am not sure what is the correct crown for the SD. Is it the same as the sub? I tried searching (sea-dweller+crown+specs, 16600+crown+specs, etc.......)



And......?

it will sit pretty until I get the damn watch.. :)

In the meantime I am wearing this great BP sample.. Wife is usually critical of Rolex reps, but this one she was impressed..

Big thanks to 45acp for this!

We will need a dedicated thread on "Fitting the TC Bracelet to a BPSD". I'm thinking of a jeweler downtown that could shave the end links for me.

Glad you're enjoying it! I was really impressed with that one, but I'm just not sold on the ceramic subs yet. Looks good on you!

Yeah.. Not to hijack my own thread, but the overall feel is great. Impressed with the SEL fit and bracelet-- helps that you oiled it:)

Been looking everywhere for this, cant find any info all I can find is it is the triplock crown.

So I presume it would be the same as the 16610 which is 7mm, which would mean a TC one would be a good swap.

According to Bonesey's Wiki on the SD it is a triplock version.

Anyone else confirm this?

When I did my Franken SD, a while back, I remember something about otto frei's tube being 7.03. And waited to find one for sale on the bay that matched that. Notice how all the sub crowns exclude the dweller?

Does anyone know if the bezel construction on this is gen style? I ask because I ordered a BP 16710 and I intend to swap the bezel inserts, and I'm thinking that if they used gen style construction on these that would be a good indicator that they do on the 16710, too.

BTW - your Franken SD was just sent off for a GEN insert & pearl to match it's GEN dial. :)

Did you say Franken SD ? Please do tell. Just bought a Rick Moded SD WM pearl, light CG work, DW centered, brushed bracelet. Water proofed to 5atm, Oiled and timed swiss movement. I am going to fit it with a TC SD bracelet.
What else can I do to this piece to make it better? And are there any gen parts I can fit to this?

I was thinking crown and tube. I would have to get Katt to do that for me.
What about the insert? Also mine is not the BP version. Don't know what version it is.
Rick said it come from Silix. But it was swiss.
