Very interesting. Your lv also has bugger dial markers and the cyclops could make it appear bigger

Thank you for that comparison. Your comparison of the dials though I assume is based on the tc 16610 dial vs a stock bpsd dial. As opposed to the tc 16600 dial? Also do you find the sd wears any heavier? Doesn't it have a more solid bracelet?

Yes, the comparison refers to TC´s Kensington high dial vs. the stock BP. The SD on bracelet and sized for a 7.5 wrist weighs in at 146 gr., suppose the TC is the same. The way the bracelet links connect to each other is more gen-like on the TC and most will prefer the TC bracelet. Weight, wear and feel of the bracelets are equal to me, the huge comfort-improvement is from swapping the Sub-C glidelock-clasp onto the TC bracelet, wearing and loving it even more since.

Not sure if TC has the SD dials from the KH maker. I had his SD dial and hand set and didn't find much difference between that and the latest BP dials. Lume is also fairly equivalent.

Hey guys,

I'm now also hooked with the bpsd an got my QC pictures from sead. In my opinion the date looks left centered and the bezel also not perfectly centered. I told sead my concerns and he checked the watches and told me I was just the photographing angle.
What would you do, just accept it o reject it?

Here is the QC pic

Yes both 40 mm but for some reason it seems a bit smaller on wrist if you look at my side by side sub dia looks just a tad bigger. I'm not sure of actual thickness of reps
, gen SD is 14.8 and gen sub is 13.0, because of xtal height SD does sit higher.

Pretty sure the 16600 dial is a fraction smaller than the 16610 dial (maybe even 1mm). That and the wider insert and thicker crystal make it look slightly smaller. It's also a little top heavy on the wrist which puts some people off. The SD and Sub LV combo makes for a perfect pair [emoji106]

Can't believe I just discovered the bpsd thread. Have just purchased one and looking forward to the mod. Just that I'm not that good with the DIY... Just wondering if anyone knows of people who can do the mod here in Singapore ?

I'm sure you can find a watch maker if you just make friends with a few shops that do service it might take some leg work and relationship building but they are there, start hanging out in the Jewelry district. Look for the old guy with a little shop and make him your friend those are the guys you want, Wear your Rep right into the shop, the guys that are dicks will make themselves known and the guys that understand its just a watch will be the ones! Its like girls ask out a hundred and if you get 10 thats 10 more than you would of had if you had asked none.
