Thank you! Yes it was. I'm truly over the moon with how it turned out. I will be doing a proper photo shoot at a later time :)

Waiting in the Doctors office does not qualify as a proper photo shoot! @Maron
Advice on photos, Get a clean watch cloth and a macro lens, I bought some of those X2 X4 X10 lens that screw on like filters on my SLR. Move the hands away from all dial text and date window, Make sure triangle is centered over 12 properly. If I'm off a tick it bugs me, make sure the image stabilizer is on and your not loaded with coffee. use your loupe and cloth to clean all finger prints off after you put the watch on your wrist. Then get some proper light and set the camera on shutter priority. I'm not an expert photographer but these are just a few lessons learned from past fails!

Cool guys, thanks so far! To be honest, I only quickly researched about a new crystal as free time was limited.

I think I will go for the WSO Crystal. Is the gasket that they deliver fine?

Thanks for your support guys!

I have a chance to purchase this BP SD but I am not sure how it is quality wise. I feel like the marker at 9 is crooked. Can someone comment as to how it compares to theirs. Should I ask for a lume shot?

If you come around us and hang out to long your going to put a TC Dial in it anyway so who cares. Honestly it does look a little off.

I do plan to change dial to TC or Gen but not for awhile.

@lukko yes I'm pretty sure, because your watch must look even better than on the fotos!:applause:

Guys, I need your help... I not satisfied with my bezel action. If I use the spring that was installed before, it clicks quite nice but waaay too stiff. I cleaned everything and even oiled the ring underneath the spring. I guess the spring tension is too strong. I tried to bend a spring from a paperclip. Then tension is ok but the material is too soft. The first few turns felt good but after a few turns, the spring gets very weak.

How can I make the bezel rotation easy to turn (2 fingers without hurting) and firm clicks? I haven't found much info on this topic.

Thanks for the good tips! I don't usually go to that much trouble with wristies bit certainly when trying to do a photo shoot. I just got a dslr but haven't had time to tinker with it yet. It's only got the standard lens for now but I'd like a macro lens.

Do you use the macro lens on your camera or do you mean with slr?

I meant DSLR, I use a old Canon TR2i with the standard 18 x 55mm kit lens and these vivitar close up filter/lens.

it actually works real well The 4X and 10X are the ones I use but mostly 10X and its inexpensive.

I know a lot of guys use their phones and it seems iPhones work best but my wife and I just replaced or old Galaxy S4s with new S7 Edges so I will see if it works better than my old phone, I really need to study the picture taking guide..But then I really need to do a Lot of things! :)

So over the last 3 days since receiving my bpsd back from @ado213 the timekeeping has been exceptional. It has lost about five or six seconds over three days on my wrist or in the box dial up. That's more accurate than my recently serviced omega 2531 which is running plus five seconds per day.

Has anyone had lug holes drilled in there watch?

I did as I like the look and wanted the watch to be as different as possible to my Ceramic Sub.
