They are doing it because they are finding tc's sub bracelet to be higher quality than his sd bracelet. Specifically the clasp I think. [MENTION=82129]Thrasher[/MENTION]

Much better sel fit. And less stretch between the links. Overal quality is much better of the 93250.

A few shots of my bracelet that came with my BPSD
No markings on first link after SELs, only on the clasp fold
Comparison shots with a gen on Joshua's website

Look at the what Rolex are you wearing thread. Post 14305. Turbo350z posted a picture of his. He "invented" this. I noticed it and commented as soon as he posted-well, you can look at the thread. It starts there.

If I would have know this up front I would have never bought the SD bracelet. The 93250 is much better.

Thanks Guys
Just lost another 30 minutes reading through all this and trying to catch up on the differences. Good result for me: I just can´t.... - which is good because once You see it.....You can´t "unsee" it. On my BP SD the stock bracelet and clasp have been fine since day 1 and continue to be, at least 4me. The TC links are assembled differently (better) but I wouldn´t notice it on the wrist. On the TC I changed the clasp for a 116610 glidelock one and that really added a lot of comfort.
The SD I´m still wearing it like always - on it´s stock bracelet and clasp and happy with it.
Differences I see: Turbo350z has another 1/2 link near the clasp, the sides of the links have a tiny better polished edge and the links are maybe 1/2 mm longer each? SEL-fit is perfect but imho mine isn´t too bad either. Turbo350z has lugholes that I can only dream of and maybe the x-tal sits flusher.
Even had to take an imitation pic right now, kind of - and later will do the same with the TC. Is this driving us nuts? Maybe, in a good way..., my inquisitive mind is put to rest for now - until You teach me different.
update with TC 93250 V5 with glidelock-clasp for comparison purposes
and update Nr.2 - so after 3 years finally discovered the difference about the "worn out" and "sloppiness" of the Seadweller-bracelet but I´m happy to say it doesn´t bother me in the slightest, even after "knowing" it. Above are the 2 wristies, below: on the left the TC - no gap at the endlink and the SD-bracelet with a "stretched and sloppy" gap between endlink and first link - the difference is something for the purest of purists, for my part I seem to be only semi-purist and I´m very happy with both

[MENTION=72466]Daywatch[/MENTION]-you seem to be able to remove some of the OCD from your brain. I wish I could sometimes. From the second I saw Turbo350z post his "invention" it has bothered me. However, I always thought my TC sd bracelet looked stretched out and gappy. Haha. It is funny.
Crap! Just took mine off the winder. Lost a screw!
Never happened before.
