Yep, except this thing, this small dents on the reahut at 12.
Some mods mate you will see, but the TC parts are:
-bracelet (fors SD)
-V3 hands set
-tube/crown
Date imho it's great, a well centered, and dial BP it's good and has a nuclear lume, no need TC dial

[MENTION=54191]lukko[/MENTION] would you mind posting some more pics here before you mod it? i.e., bracelet, SELs, clasp, and head itself. I am curious to see how it is coming from the factory now.
Yes the bp dial is great. The only reason I'm changing mine is because the factory made indentation on the lume markers on my particular dial.Yep, except this thing, this small dents on the reahut at 12.

To be honest I can't see the dent on the rehaut.

Sure, my impressions about the previous model I had (in 2014) and this last one are:
-Glass updated (height profile and no more white matt on profile like the old one that i had)
-bezel teeth slightly more deep,
-Helium valve recessed compared to the profile of the case
-It has slightly more large pearl,
-Better caseback engravings (not more fat),
-Fat sel (good),
-The same problem with clasp all BP SD have,
-Dial improved: better print and better lumen application (on mine there are not moon craters as in the past)
-All dates are well aligned
-Movement it's 2824, not 2836.
-Bezel rotation: crap as ever
-CG's updated, but however not good
-font of the case it's more gen like more thin, not "fat" like in the past
I think that this watch it's one of the best value watch for the money!
On mine i've noticed dirt under the glass from 9 am to 11 am, but what worries me more is a "dents" at 12:01 on the reahut . I hope that my modder is able to remove it.
PS: About my hands, I'm a clean guy, but the mechanic work is a dirty job LOL

A suggestion. When adrian does the crystal does he make a custom rehaut? Would that solve the problem?

Unfortunately, I believe that this problem is present on all SD BP (I had 3 SD BP and all 3 had this problem). However with TC bracelet you solve 100% this problem.
However I think Adrian could solve this with his mod, but I'm not going to put gen glass or a gen spec glass, so I hope that my modders will be able to fix this dent on the reahut with his touch of magic

Thank you for all the great pictures.
Your list is a good comparison list too.
Yours even came with the correct bracelet from looking at your pics.

I am on a mobile. Is the dent on the vertical and horizontal plane of the rehaut? Right on the edge? I cannot see it very well.
I don't have mine with me, but that HEV looks really good to me.
If I had it to do again, I would just keep it stock and replace the crown when it fails.
Mine was kind of a bad luck/cursed piece until [MENTION=62114]Ko67[/MENTION] got his hands on it. Lol.
I have never held the stock BP bracelet. I have the TC. If the clasp is open, will that link articulate properly in full range of motion?
Yes it will. If you have the link facing upward and then close the clasp it will stay in that range of motion. If you have the link like he has shown and then close the clasp it will not wrap around your wrist. The tc bracelet is much better

Does the SD use a 704 Crown and the 7030 Tube? I'm going to order a set and need to know of this is correct. Thx in advance
7030 tube is correct. Technically I think they came with 703 crown but will have likely been updated with a 704 crown during their life. We are all using a 704 crown for our bpsd

Thanks mate, can't wait to see it modded
Unfortunately on the edge of reahut.
But I have asked to my special modders and he said to me that will solve with a bit of steel laser and then define it with its machinery , that this is not a problem for him.
Then I will also finish the BP stock dial and polish all indexes with diamond-polishing to make them more brilliant.
I can not wait to see the final result of the mods
However I will not use this watch until I will send to my modder for start the mods
My BP stock crown and tube sucks like the previous SD BP I had. It is made of brass and its thread is not much finished. The scratch crown, is not smooth when it is screwed and unscrewed. Instead the TC crown/tube set that I'm going to put on my SD (as the previous modded I had) is one of the best crown/tube set replica, and is screwed and unscrewed so smoothly like butter.

Damn, your modder can do fill-ins with the laser. You could have a lot more damage than that and not have to worry then. Sounds like you are in good hands. Cannot wait to see it.
Mine is sitting in there today. In jail, I call it.
Hey guys I'm wanting to put tc v3 hands in my bpsd instead of the tc sc hands I've got. I asked tc if the v3 hands would have the same lume as the v2, sd and sd dial. All of them have been matching to this point as far as I know. Guys have been matching their tc sd dial with v2 hands no problem. Tc said he can't guarantee the v3 hands will match. Can anybody who has already gotten v3 hands comment as to whether they are matching ?
