BP Seadweller.. Best SD available Period

[Q5?]

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.

Does it have an etched crown at six on the crystal?

Yes Sir. It was the one mclarindude had for sale. I traded it out of himhttp://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=142465.

The only way a Gen would have that would be if it was serviced.

Ok I understand now. What kind of crystal can I swop out in it? Without the crown ech.

The way I understand it . Rick ordered the piece from Silix and serviced it and moded it. Could a Gen insert be put in this version? I know the crown and tube can be changed. But I don't know about the dial and insert?

If I swap my dial out for a TC one, I'll contact you.

Mine arrived today, I was so excited I tried fitting the TC SD bracelet immediately and didn't take any photos of the watch with it's original BP factory bracelet.

Anyway, here's the lug engravings, exactly the same as the superlumed SD serial numbers and marking that came out last year.

As expected, the TC SD bracelet's SELs are wide and didn't fit, so I took out the metal file set and get ready to shave.

This is the TC SD SEL before the job, plastic was left in the bracelet to protect the other links.

Shaving starts, alternating from side to side. After few strokes, I always try to fit the SEL to see if i've shaved enough.

After few minutes, one of the bracelet has a nice fit.

Repeating the process for the 2nd bracelet until it fits too.

Using the fine sandpaer, I smoothened the sides of the SEL before putting it in the watch. When I used the springbars that came with the BP SD, the TC SD bracelet moves around a little bit, so I used the 2mm springbars that came with the TC SD bracelet. The 2mm springbars made the fitting nice and tight.

I'm happy with the BP factory SD and the TC SD bracelet combo, they are perfect for each other.

Wristshot to finish the operation, I'm just happy that I didn't mess this up. :thumbsup:

Looks great!
Enjoy!

TC bracelet endlink really fit beautifully on the SD. Look awesome. I'm think i'm gonna get one while waiting for my SD flying back to TD.

Mad cat. Exactly how bad is the BP bracelet compared to the TC. I emailed TC for one 4 days ago with no reply yet. Watch looks great!!

Look at that perfect fit!

Nice job MCL, thanks for sharing the eye candy.

I still haven't pulled the trigger on one of these. Lovely looking watch but I don't find myself getting too excited over sub/SD's anymore.

That looks excellent MadCat

The BP bracelet endlinks has the usual "protruding" connection to the next link, SEL fitting is a bit lower on the lugs you can see a gap between the top of the SEL and the bezel. And the clasp is really terrible...

Thanks D, besides the PO, the SD is my favorite watch. I've bought, sold, and broken a few, spent on SSDv2 modding, broke an Asian ETA while the modder is installing TC DWO, and practically waited for a version that would finally match the TC SD bracelet that I had for almost a year. Thankfully ebzen started this thread and now I have an SD that I'm very happy with. :thumbsup:

Yours looks great E! I am still not sure I'm gonna keep mine when it arrives, but if it looks that good in person I might have a hard time parting with it.
