BP Seadweller.. Best SD available Period

[Q5?]

Sorry, I've read through like 12 pages of this thread and am still a little unclear what sets this new BP apart from the old Ultimate SD. I already own an Ultimate (Asian clone, no mods) and is there any reason for me to get one of these besides to have a spare to beat around?

Thanks!

The BPSD has better:

Lume
Rehault
CG's
Crystal
Pearl

compared to your unmodded Noob SD.

Better pearl, better case, better crystal.

The lume isn't? Hmmmm.... :thinking:

Lume is the same as the previous BP sea dweller, isn't it? The first version of this watch that came out a little over a year ago?

From the pictures I've seen the lume looks similar. Hands lume is a bit darker than the dial. Overall the lume is good for a rep but I wouldn't call it superlume. Charges well but dies out relatively quickly.

Just got tracking from Sead , it looks like he sent it to the wrong address (and state) -- but it got to the address SUPERFAST so no complaints from me ... just a little bummed but I've learned patientce is the key in this hobby.

Can't wait to get this and throw the TC bracelet on it -- I'd order the other TC mods but I'd break the watch trying to install them.

The Ultimate SD is a BP. It could appropriately be called the BPSDv1. This is an updated version of that watch, with a new pearl, crystal, and reshaped CGs.

Ok let me rephrase that:


v2 case with crystal

V1 Insert with WM pearl or gen 16600 insert

V2 movement and dial/hands from V1

TC 93160A bracelet

Gen/TC Crown & Tube set

Sorry for my mixup. I thought he was asking about the differences between the Noob SSD vs. BPSD.

No worries. We are awash in a sea of acronyms!

 

[sixers_610]

So what's better about the case than v1?

The CG's for starters. The V1 were too stubby.

The "chamfering of the lug lines" that P4GTR noticed ... http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showpost.php?p=1411283&postcount=160

I'll have bezel pics uploading in a few minutes. The construction is not like the V2 or the other Replica Rollies that used a plunger or disk click spring. This one actually has the tension ring style construction. Sadly the teeth are angled instead of triangle like the gen.

(From TC's blog on the sub.) Notice the teeth?

The BP case does however have a milled slot for the gen short style spring.

Conclusion if there was one today, get a good copy of a gen bezel and try it on this, (sub wont work too thin) I bet it will fit.

I am very excited about this replica. Just seeing that friction spring almost gave me a :schwing2:

 

[R2D4]

My next question would be, is the crystal of gen like construction? Maybe someone has already asked.

Wow very interesting R2, so basically the case would accept a gen style bezel, I wonder if Clark's do a replacement one or the SD.

The crystal looks a lot like the M series SD imo.
