Yes, but like said before, it's worth the mod. And like 'Robotomic' said all fit together perfectly

Perfectly? Only after stripping the case and trying to sand evenly.

I hope it wont be too much problem for the watchmaker... It would bring up issues with the centering?

Exactly! Is it worth the risk/expence?

I ment 'Perfectly' talking about the colour of hands and Indizes. This way you garanteed have the same lume-colour.

By installing any aftermarket-hands together with the factory-dial, the lume-color may not fit or you have to relume them which mean extracosts, too.

Talking to my watchsmith it wasn't a big deal to sand down the case about 1mm btw.

Help me comprehend the process of modding the case for the TC dial. When you shave of 1mm, so the movement holder will be loose by 1mm?

How about the BP previous version Dial & Hands? Looks okay to me.

Instead of buying TC Dial & Hands, maybe a simple swap will do the job.

Did someone only swap hands for TC ones, keeping the BP dial?
I'm not so sure they won't match the BP dial lume.
Maybe it's not worth US$50 + the hassle to shave the TC dial, since the BP dial is really good.
I'd really like to know...

I have a TC 93250 bracelet on its way to me as we speak (not 93160). I will be installing this on my BPSD as it is a much better option than the current bracelet. I dont foresee any issue but wanted to throw this out there incase someone has tried this or knows of any issues. Thanks! :cheers:

Well shortly after i wrote the above thread the mail lady showed up with my TC band. About 10 minutes of sanding and it was done. I sanded it on a piece for white paper so you can see how much was removed. It does not take much!

Here is when done.

Looks great. What did you use to sand?
I used a very fine hand file. Its hard to make out but its at the top of the picture. The amount that needs to be removed is so small I did not even want to use a dremel. :cheers:
