BP Seadweller.. Best SD available Period

[d4m.test]

Just got this in today. Love it already. Unfortunately the crown grinds like hell and barely screws down and the bezel sure doesn't like to rotate.

My thoughts:
-Bracelet sucks, the diver extension pops out, the links don't move nicely, I thought it was supposed to have solid links, am I wrong? This one has hollow links

-lume is pretty great, I think the hands have that green color

-@bgreg says it wears smaller than a sub. I agree. After wearing a seiko sumo the last few months this feels small

I've got a gen 704 crown on the way already, time to start ordering some more parts

At least the looks are good Where are You getting these, one of the things I loved from the first minute was the solid/ precise bezel action without play.

- bracelet: baby oil bath and move the links in the clasp to hole Nr.7 (3 links in the clasp)
- crown: air-dust first and than use silicon-grease on the threads

100% what he said!!!! It looks good to me. put in a genuine insert, genuine 703 or 704 crown, WSO tube or better. Or just follow my recipe. TC bracelet only $39. ETC ETC ETC

OMG its a sharpey quit your crying and get to work. If you get a flat four insert you have to drill lug holes , but I think with the titanium grey HEV its not common, I did see a genuine though with lug holes and a grey HEV...Weird huh.

Adrian will do a great job. If I get a chance I will post a picture of my lowered genuine spec crystal. I don't really like a tall crystal I think it makes the dial look smaller and if the edge isn't finished perfect all the way around that bugs me.

Order from tc, or wait for one in m2m but that could take a while. Post a picture of your insert

Have TC dial and hands brand new if someone needs one

Hi all,

Been following this thread for a couple of weeks. I just got my BPSD from Sead and it looks fine. But the bracelet is really bad. I read just a couple of posts above that the TC bracelet is the way to go. I know I can email him from his blog.

What i'm wondering is how does it compare to the BP one. Is it heavier ? Is the clasp working properly ? mine is not good to say the least. I'm bruising my fingers everytime i wanna open it. Someone with "the glass is always half full" attitude would say "At least you won't lose it from the clasp failling but it's really getting the best of me. I hate it

I'm not so sure about the size either but that was me trying a 40mm. I'm used to Pam an 45.5 CrPO. Wife says it looks good so there's that

The BP bracelet is not that bad its just the genuine is not as nice as say a genuine Omega divers bracelet.

Beauty!!!

This is hard to explain but the link closest to the top of the clasp on mine doesn't have the clearance to move freely around the clasp. I'll shoe a picture.

I don't have gen Omega

On my bracelet there is a link that I need to force down the clasp for it to open.
