I like this BPSD so much!

Is it interesting without mods?
Everyone buy TC or GEN components for it, so I have some doubts between the ceramic Sub V6s and BPSD. The SD is cheaper, so it is an advantage for my budget.

Very interesting this thread.

It is a great watch out of the box. A TC replacement band presoaked in mineral/baby oil is an easy economical upgrade.
So is waterproofing it at a local watchsmith.

To go to the next level, the date wheel replacement is nice, as mine is stock and the date numerals seem too often more to the left than centered.
But if you are going to do that, might as well replace the hands (and/or bezel) too.

But mine is still stock other than the waterproofing/baby oil stock bracelet treatment as it is my daily beater.

Nonetheless, it works out quite well as my daily beater as it doesn't scream out, "Look at me! I'm a shiny ceramic submariner!"

Hi everyone. Just approved my QC pics from Sead, so just the final wait for shipping now. I'll post up some Otb shots when I receive it, although I am away on holiday so may be later next week, fingers crossed. Jim

Congratulations you'll love it I'm sure and Sead is usually pretty quick shipping.

Thanks [MENTION=100947]Lagunax[/MENTION] for your information and suggestions.

I will look up these TC components in the blog.

I think this is a great watch to start out with its very genuine looking out of the box and adding TC and Genuine parts only makes it look better. But anyone can wear it in stock form and be very happy

You made a good choice by using Sead. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

What's the preferred movement in this one guys? A2836 or the M9015? Seems like a great price for such an amazing piece.

They say 2836 but most have been coming with the 2824 , I would skip the Miyota movement unless you have no plans to Mod

I just soaked the TC bracelet for 12 hours in a baby oil bath. It's silky smooth and no more squeaky sounds :D

Just had to repost the OTB wrist shot as it's all boxed up ready to send for its mods.

How are BP so good at dials?

I love the new version but should the inside of the crown guards need reshaping or did they mimic a specific serial number with the beefier, fuller inner shape?

Mine looked the same and it was v1 bought like 3 years ago. Not to much reshaping needed. Here you can see mine vs my gen unpolished sub. Think they look decent.

Here is @kdo2milger's (I can remove the pic if you'd like sir)
I love the latest updates but the cg's look pointy and the inner cg's cover up the crown a bit. Hopefully it is just the angle but I just ordered one from Sead. I had the first release and loved it.

Beautiful builds BTW [MENTION=57136]Turbo350z[/MENTION]! I love seeing your pics

ARRRG I cant wait to get mine back from Zocker, Adrian is going to see if the V2 hands are any better. Then I will send the LV to Zocker.
