Should we change the title to include V1?

Will be VERY interesting to see how it fits. Report asap!
I dont want to jinks myself but i think the insert will work no problem. I took some calipers to the existing insert and its the same as the gen (30mm x 36.5mm). We will find out next week...if not, its going in a MBW sub. So either way im happy! :thumbsup:

I didnt think all of the new ones had this just a couple that slipped through ....?
I'm not sure if these are just some they made with the renault engraving becase they had the cases lying around or if this is how they will be coming now. Thats why I asked R2 if this is why he was thinking about changing the title. Not sure!

I am really curious to know if TC DWO V3 is better than the bp one and how different does it look.

This is a good question and I have received several pm's from members asking this same thing. I'm my opinion, a new DWO is not needed unless the current one is misaligned. I think because there is no date magnification this hides a lot of sins, like bad printing etc.

Here are the things I feel need to be addressed
Bracelet - this is a must!
Insert - only needed if the pearl is off centered or other issues
Hands- this is marginal but needed for the detailed person (sorry Q)
Dial- this only needs to be replaced if the lume on the new hands don't match (not sure if TC hands match the BP dial lume)

This is only my opinion, please chime in if you feel differently.

:cheers:

TC hands arrived and they look to be a match!

Not 100% perfect, but close enough for me. I'll get them installed tomorrow morning and take more pics.

Can you take some photo comparing the TC hands with the BP original hands?

Really? What good would that do? The stock hands are considerably darker, what else do you need to know?

However, being the benevolent man that I am, I will indulge all your noobtastic requests! In fact, I will give you a illustrated narrative of the process of TCifying my new BPSDv1:

Here are the TC hands next to the BP hands, per your request. The TC one are the ones that don't look like key lime pie:

Next, since the watch was already pretty much disassembled, I figured I would grease the seals and make sure it was pool ready. After all, they don't call it the land dweller:

Then, I made breakfast, because I was hungry:

I then installed the hands and decades the movement.

Looks good! So I have it another dunk just to make sure:

As I began to put it once TC bracelet, I realized that there was a fleck of debris underneath the crystal. It took me about 30 seconds of deliberation to decide that there was no way this wouldn't annoy the shit out of me, so I then uncased the movement again and cleaned it out good.

Here is the finished result:

I plan on taking it out to the pool today, maybe I'll take some action shots of it there. Wasnt sure if I was gonna keep this thing, but after all that work I think I have to now! This will be my Summer swimming watch, I think.

Also, lume shot!

Can't wait to get mine. I received qc pics today now they have Got rid of the rehaut engraving examples. Dial is perfect with straight markers so I have just paid tc for a bracelet and hands and have a gen insert ready too.

Then somebody was wrong. They're the same BP version. Trevor's price doesn't reflect pp fees, so it would be more accurate at $190. Still though, it's a good deal.

Somebody it is me and i was not wrong !

This is our dial:

Me: I asked him if he had Super Sea Dweller

Trevor:"Yes,i have ROLEX Super Sea Dweller SS Black Asian 2836
The price is $178
Yes,i accept paypal
If you are from USA?Canada,Spain,
I can ship them via EMS
It will take you about 4-9days to get them .
The package will been send to your house
The shipping cost is $28 USD
There is the tracking number ,you can track the package in the shipping "

Me:I asked him if it is the latest newest version with new pearl and case

Trevor:"If you need the the latest version (v2 with new pearl and ne case
The price is $208 USD "

Me:I asked him if it comes form BP Factory

Trevor:"Yes,it come form BP Factory the the latest version (v2 with new pearl and ne case haven't link now
I will send you the QC pictures of the actual exact watch you would receive before shipping after payment
I can ship it to you after i get the confirm answer from you
If you like the QC photoes watch ,i will ship the watch to you .(I will tell you the tracking number )
If you don't like the QC photoes watch ,i will replace another watch or refund the payment back to you via paypal."

So i was not WRONG and Trevor was not too!!

$178 version is not the latest/newest but costs $208

Make your own conclusion.
I am not a liar!!! Ask him and you will see

I do not write anything that i did not verify.

Cheers
