Yes, do the h4.

I have studied closely the specimens in my posession and the TC dial is absolutely crisper and more precise print than the BP dial. There is no question imo. Just saying...

Your stack height looks OK to me. just a pointer, all swiss eta 2836-2 come with #4 pinions on them from the factory. That is unless Rado ask for a different spec for their movements?

Also, the BP case is far from perfect. It is not "Gen Spec" lug shape/thickness or cg's..I only know of one guy conus I would trust to get it right. Does Adrian do casework too? I know it looks good and its close but its not perfect...

Sure do!!, But can we all remember something here. There are no available dimensions for crown guards, so getting it as exactly as per gen is not an option, period. You can only go off photographs, which believe me I've had hundreds. So one persons idea of the perfect CG's is not another. Look on the web at the many variations on CG's, you'll be amazed.

I will only rework CG's to the pictures people send me, then your into the realms of picture interpretation, have I worked them exactly as the picture?.

Lets be honest, unless your CG's are a complete and utter F__k up your not going to get called out by anyone on CG shape.

Yeah Adrian drilled them for me and supplied the gen spec Spring bars.
He did a great job for a very reasonable price.

well i dropped my SD today and now the movement doesnt hold time, and when you adjust the time it feels like the gears are crunching, i guess its time to buy another one!

2836 clones are cheap, check the bay or other websites

BP SD from SEAD A2836 Mvt keeps really perfect time, winds up smooth like butter.
stretched click spring a bit to make the rotation stronger and buckle/pressed bottom of SEL to recess the SEL-Top in relation with the CG.
Finally nice piece OOTB
