Let's not get confused
Perlon is it's own material and completely different than the nylon straps weaved to look like a a perlon strap like the ones you are referring to. two different materials one is perlon the other is nylon woven to look like a strap made of perlon.

Light years different if you have both in your hand



Common misconception

Nice to see your watch again, I will shortly have my tooling sorted for bezel shrinking, if you would like it re-sizing just fire it over, it will be a freebie
I will be taking you up on that generous offer. Thank you

Been reading this thread and seems like there isn't a consensus on the best of these. I really like the 5 digit sea dweller but I don't plan on doing any modding (other than movement service maybe)...
Is this a good choice for stock version:

I think the consensus is and always has been the A2836 which is really now an A2824. Don't waste your money on an unserviceable movement, I just got one from Sead and its still bone stock and pretty damn nice for under $250

NO MODS 7/2017 current stock.

I've got one of the latest bp ones from the tb sale and am not disappointed. Will post pics later but for the price it's really excellent!

Whats the verdict on the stock bracelet? Acceptable or trash?

Sent from the RWI App

Bracelet looks nicer imho that the old version of BP SD and SEL fits good on most if them, but "incomplete" on a few... So pay attention on you QC guys

Unfortuanally still have the problem with the clasp...

Thank you, mine has the clasp problem too, I wonder if this is corrected with the latest batch? I now wear it on a tc sub bracelet..

Other question, do you think it's worth to upgrade the crystal? I wonder if there are better aftermarket options available or how much a gen one costs?

I think the actual batch has the same isusse with clasp bro

About crystal in the past it worth beacuse the old crystal had matt white profile. Was a pretty bad look. But then it was updated and actual seems to have a better crystal profile, so actually i personally keep the stock crystal :)


It's my favourite watch actually, and i miss that TC parts aren't available anymore, i was lucky to bought them from him in the last october

Its not really a mod as such, the fit of the bezel seems to vary on the BP SD, from a good fit to very loose. I can reduce the bezel size enough to get it a better fit.

Looks great! Is this with a tc dial?

Mine has the stock dial, only gen parts are insert and crown:
