-serviced eta 2836-2 (could also be an a2836-2 but was sold as org eta)

-TC sd dial
-TC hands

[MENTION=40425]Zille[/MENTION] looks great buddy! Did you not change to a tc dwo v4? Also wow the hole in your cp is huge. I also think you could benefit from an h4 canon pinion conversion. Lastly your insert looks fine, but gen looks way better!

thanks,no i didn't change the dwo i think the bp dwo fits good.....about the hole in cp i don't think it is to huge.....in reality.....it looks ok....but you are right ,in the picture it looks huge.
I think i go for an gen insert.......must a gen insert sanded or could it fit without sanding.

I've got one on order from Sead, can't wait for delivery. Is a gen bezel insert that much better over the bp insert?

In my eyes the pearl is a significant improvement. But it's up to how you want to spend your money. Wear it for a few weeks and then decide what you want to change. It may be the greenish hands, or the insert, or switching to a tc bracelet is a cheap and easy upgrade.

Don't be surprised if the bezel barely turns at first as I think it's quite common for excess glue to be stuck under there. I had to break down the glue and now it turns better. It's recommended to remove the bezel and clean it up, you could also switch the click spring to a clark for very cheap to imprint the bezel click

I just got my Franken BPSD from MrNoahJ, i don't know what's wrong with me but at 40mm I feel like it's soo small. I've been wearing 43mm and 44mm the past week so that's probably why. It looks great, but it just doesn't feel right. This is my 3rd BPSD I think I have a problem.

I totally understand. I've been wearing my bpsd for the past 3 weeks or so and now I can't put my seiko sumo back on because it feels huge! wear it for a few days and you'll get used to it. they look fantastic on the wrist

You guys are not the only ones. I think mine will be on the chopping block when she returns. I just cannot get over the size. It wears very small to me. I love everything else about it though.

Don't lump me in that category! The size is fine for me. But I like watches 40 - 42mm . My seiko being 44mm is the absolute limit and it actually wears nice for 44, some 44 I can't pull off due to lug to lug length.

I'm just saying after wearing the bpsd the Sumo feels big, but after a few hours on the wrist you won't notice anymore
