Well I was certainly wrong for taking offense like I did. There's no excuse, I haven't been feeling well and I think whatever thing it was that was said, grabbed me. I openly apologize to you and anyone else that were to read my comments. That's not the usual Rich- I'm
Sorry that I attacked back at you about a watch for goodness sakes.

Way out of line. You manned up in the end. Thrasher contributes too much to have to listen to stuff like that.

It is St. Patricks day, so I have my 'green bezeled' Sea Dweller on my wrist this morning. The only Rep Sea Dweller to have such a bezel. Does that sound right my friends ?? I mean, no one knows jack about a Sea Dweller at the office anyway. ............ lemme think about it as I put on my green tie . It is a Trump tie and 'made in china'. Just like my 50th anniversary Sea Dweller !! :len::drinks_cheers:

Back to our usual programing:

The line between rep and gen prices start to cross over… almost. Case in point, a gen 666 with the holes and the perfect-cut bezel teeth for $3700 (head) with all the patina you could want…
Sometimes it's fun to compare no?




And of course the prerequisite personal BP pics:

So what have you changed on it so far? I know you had the crown.....What else?

And what are your long term plans? I'm still pretty committed the Prof crystal but I'll have Steve do it.

I haven't changed anything just yet, except the pearl was loose so I removed as I didn't want it getting misplaced.

So far I have:
Gen 704 crown
Wso tube
Tc dial
Tc hands
Tc dwo v4
Tc bracelet

All I need now:
Swiss 2836
Crystal
Gen insert

I debated if I would skip the crystal and save myself $150. But after seeing the difference with yours and bgreg the clarity and chamfer are a step up and it will ensure waterproofing as well.

I'm concerned about how my bezel will turn out in terms of function (click) and aesthetic (teeth cuts). But I don't see myself spending $500 on a gen bezel.

I'm in no rush to send it off to have the work done though since it's great otb and whatever movement that they put in there is running as well as any swiss movements I have.

Plus I want to get my blackbay running first so I can wear it while I wait :)

Adrian can do the click spring and the crystal mod, He said he cant find that german seller, is that the j & K guy. He is very happy with the WSO crystal for now. be super careful with that dial with the high gloss dont touch it with anything. Your going to have to wait about two and a half months before A can cut bezel teeth.

What do you mean German seller? Adrian told me to get a jandk crystal with an extra gasket. I'll have him do the crown/tube install, shape crown guards, custom click spring, and crystal mod. He said he has a serviced eta 2836 tissot branded as well for me. I only took the dial out to examine it with a loupe and take pictures, I handled it carefully by the edge but I realized I didn't use finger condoms, I need to get some. Maybe he will be cutting bezel teeth by the time I'm ready, like I said I'm in no rush.

You will be very happy with his work, I should PM you the report he wrote on my allegedly new Otto Frei movement, remind me to never recommend them again.

I think its totally worth it for you to wait until he is ready to do bezels!

I'm actually talking to Zocker about doing the swiss machine reshape on my TC cases.

Send me that pm. Like I said I'm in no rush so maybe he will be ready with the bezel shaping when I am.

Zocker will put a beautiful finish and chamfer on those cases fir you

If this is better than WSO I will get it... If I were him I would have a bunch of these on hand for guys like us!
Lol I really don't think there's enough weirdos that want to do a crystal mod on the bpsd for him to keep stock lol
