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 ?

They will match in color but maybe not exactly, all lume is slightly different but the difference would be that the TC 16600 hands match exactly the TC 16600 dial, the TC 16610 LN V3 hands are made with the same lume as the latest TC 16610 LN Dial, I'm sure thats what he means I just ordered 2 sets of 16610 LN V3 hands for my TC LN and BPSD and 1 set of 16610 LV V3 hands for my LV. I'm sure he would of said the same about the V2 hands color had we asked.

You are likely correct. Didn't I hear recently that tc specifically told someone that when they order tc sd hands he started shipping v2 hands. Essentially v2 hands and tc sd hands became the same thing. If so , nobody noticed any difference in terms of lume matching.

I guess what I'm saying is that not all tc sd hands sold over the last 3 years will be from the same batch with the exact same lume. Yet nobody is noticing a change. Therefore the v2 hands must have been a perfect match to the tc sd dial, as were the sd hands.

I will order the v3 hands!

Yeah that's what TC told me.

When people ordered SD hands he just sent out 16610LN V2 hand sets and labelled them as SD hands to stop people getting confused.

Thanks for clarifying that. That probably means I have v2 hands already. I haven't taken them out of the package

That's not correct mate. In my case i've had the the latest V7 and as in previous TC the hands are more white than dial and the lume without light not match perfectly. About hands the color of these is different than index of the dial (last V7, but also previous version). This is because the dial is not built by the same that produces the hands.
BP stock index on the dial are white, but the hands are too dirty white, but the light is perfectly identical full charged in the dark, and TC sub is not in the same situation. So theoretically the hands TC in the sun are of better color than the BP stock because they are more white, but the without light in the dark may differ just like in TC sub.

I'm not to worried I have at least 1 to 2 of every hand set he has made for the SD, 16610 LN and LV since I joined My current BP SD has the original TC SD hands plus Adrian has 1 set of V2s I sent him and will soon have 2 sets of 16610 LN V3s that TC is sending him, Like I said you see variations everyday on genuines, If the difference on the V3s to the TC SD Dial is unacceptable I will just have them changed, I'm always on the look out for the next best thing maybe one day it will be a Yuki by Mike with Gen Dial and hands.... Thanks for the comment though.

on another thought its been 13 weeks and @zocker4711 is still not done with my SD case and Bracelet its become such a joke that I might as well get another BP SD from Sead and start over! I love what Zocker did with my TC V6 LN case and bracelet but I dont think i will be sending my LV after all, I'm going to give someone else a shot at the LV case and Bracelet.

I'm really very worried about my Sea Dweller and regret giving Zocker a 2nd chance his work was great on the LN but it took over 12 weeks now the SD has been gone 14 weeks and it sounds like it wont be done at all at least by Machine. Zockers so called Partner is not doing the work Zocker is sending him. Its just sitting. :(

Here it was before I sent it. I really miss it.

Fortunately Adrian has everything except the Case, Bezel, Bracelet and CaseBack so if it was a total loss, I could always have Sead send Adrian a new one to build for me of course with the crystal mod again. TC is sending some V3 hands for the SD and Adrian has a RNRPROF 2XAR crystal he will try and get in without a scratch the last 2XAR crystal Adrian tried to put in for me failed the hardness test so we had to put in a WSO until RNRPROF could do another 2XAR SD crystal.

No case back picture?
I am not a dial expert but the print looks weird.
Is this supposed to be a new BPSD?

Yep that's new BP SD with myota 9015 "3135" look.

I hope that's a bad one, beacuse the dial and case looks horrible
