BP Seadweller.. Best SD available Period

[agentsmith350]

Hows this

 

[45acp]

My 12 o clock is a hair off, datewheel is not perfect. I'm still happy!

 

[ebzen02]

My date wheel is off a tad.. Hands aren't right, but all in all its a great rep that looks the part.. Great case and huge potential to be amazing. For $168 it is damn great!

 

[enyong112]

Did a little of CG work. Now it looks a lot better in my opinion. Is there any way i can tighten the bezel action?

Here's pic with my kingston

Can we move the guts of a SSD ino the BP? I only want the case and crystal as I already have gen crown, tube, insert and Superlumed dial and hands courtesy of PBDAD.

That way, I don't have to deal with misaligned dial markers.

 

[Q5?]

If the dials are the same diameter, sure. I'd pick up a new tube and use that on the BP case though.

I've been researching and it could be that hands and other parts could be swapped with 2824/36 ones.

But nobody has confirmed this so... still waiting for updated info.

Well, it's like a puzzle. You have a 2813, so broach the hands that are too small. Pinch the hands that are too large. Done.

Anyone know if the "new breed 2813" now has the same date position & hand size as the ETA's? Would be nice!

So the mods needed for this are:

New hands (Clarks or possibly gens)
New Crown (Gen) (tube as well?)
Bracelet replaced

Anything else?

Cheers

That's what I am going for, although will be using TC parts.

1. TC Bracelet.
2. TC Crown/Tube
3. TC Hands

I reckon the lume on the TC hands will match the BP SD dial very well, as it is very close to the lume on my TC sub.

Thanks Rols, so are you sourcing the parts from a spare watch or are you ordering the parts from somewhere?

I have the bracelet on order from TC, and have just emailed him about the hands and the crown/tube, hopefully he has them in stock, links below.

Thats awesome. Thanks buddy!

The Clarks Hands I received look a tad better. In daylight, they are white like the dial markers. The lume looks the same as the existing hands which don't match the dial.

I'm not using them.

Mine just arrived.

Impressions:

Insert and pearl look great!

Bezel clicks sound like gen most of the time, not plasticky like my noob subc. However in some spots during turning the bezel it suddenly does not click. I suspect oil or dirt inside.

Anyone has an idea how to fix this?

Bezel is a little loose. Too much play when in place.

Dial is good. 6 marker maybe ever so slightly tilted. Or?

Case back very nice.

Crown not so smooth in unscrewing.

Date centered on all dates except 20+, left alligned.

Bracelet low quality but a bit better with some baby oil.

Hands are the biggest let down. Have to fix this.

I was waiting for a Sead EU stock for buying this watch because many were very happy with this rep.. But then reading this thread you said that you need to buy TC bracelet, hands and also dwo is not centered, ecc
So it's a bad out of the box rep? I like this watch and also the noob explorer 2.. better I go with the explorer?

(I've not the tools and not able to mod watches..)

Yes it definitely needs some work with a few mods, but what the BP SD is a great starting point for an excellent SD with the mods done.

I am not able to do the mods myself either, so mine will being going off to one of our modders when the parts arrive.

The Explorer 2 is also a very nice watch, maybe that would be a better choice if you don't want to spend the extra on parts and getting the mods done.

It's not Best Out of the Box rep. But....... after a few mods, it's a Super Rep.
