He didn't specify what kind of tc bracelet I don't think. It has a sel hump so u think it might be an older tc sub bracelet.
I've never heard of a Daytona crystal going on a bpsd with no modifications.

Curious to see what turns out ?
Nice I got to get the hands changed out on mine to TC V3 hands..

Yours looks great with them
Actually I have a pair for my TC V7 build already.And just lucked out and found another pair for my BPSD build, so I been fortunate this weekend, I found all the parts I needed finally. Now it's time to find some gen inserts.lol.
Mhmhm i'm very undecided before mine it's after 2000 model and beacuse 704 it's slightly different than 703
I'll go for 703
as soon as i will find one blistered at great price, but i think that nos 703 it's pretty rare
To clarify a few queries about bezels/crystals what will fit what won't.
A gen Rolex bezel will not fit directly onto a BP SD without modification. There is however a remote possibility that if you have a really well worn gen Rolex bezel it may just go on. I myself have never come across this.
A gen Rolex tension ring will not fit a BP SD
That said, if you have a worn gen bezel that fits, a gen insert will definitely not fit into the worn bezel and onto the BP case and turn.
A gen insert will fit the BP bezel, but it does need trimming to fit.
There are three suppliers of bezels, Rolex themselves, WSO and Startine (if they still do them). All of these will not fit directly onto a BP SD stock case. Of the two Generic, WSO is closest to gen but again, it does not fit directly onto the BP SD case
Crystals,
Obviously gen is by far the best, it has such clarity along with a second almost invisible chamfer on the top. Excellent as you would expect from OEM
WSO, started off as a good replacement with good shape/chamfers, now it's rubbish, unfinished chamfers that only go 1/2 to 2/3 reds round the perimeter
Clark, a joke over excessive angles, makes the dial look smaller
Startime, poor quality no top chamfer ( and they don't sell the gasket)
J&k about the best at the moment, not a great clarity and the chamfers aren't perfect, but the best there is at present.
Hope this helps

I thought that the 2000 rule applied to submariners, the SD had still the 703 crown, but i can't find if this information is sure or not.
Can someone confirm?
Anyway I've seem some nos 703 on the bay in the US
Are you also going to fit gen bezel insert into the bezel ?, I ask as it makes a difference as to what has to be done.
