You can try bending the diver extension slightly, the piece with the Rolex engraving size S, bend slightly and try again if it's still loose. That was what I did with mine. Hope it helps!

Which movement is recommended is these watches? Sead has 4 versions available. I would prefer the closest beat rate to gen, but also want it to be reliable.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but BP factory offers a 2836 version and a 2813 version. The 2836 version actually comes with a 2824 inside.

Another factory has an sa3135, I believe it's LF factory. But from what i recall this version is less genuine spec than the bp factory.

Your best bet is to get the bp 2836

Guys, apologies in advance, I know it's tiring when you read the same questions again and again but the thread is too long even for the search engine :D

In a nutshell:
Which non-gen insert would you suggest? I need a new one 'cause the stock insert got lost.
Plus, date wheel overlay. Where can I find a good one?

Thanks!

this is tough question. I would go gen insert and look for a TC or BK DWO I think NOOB makes a good one to.

I'm so close to getting this awesome T>25 Sea-Dweller built. So far I have managed to get...

- Genuine T<25 Rolex Sea-Dweller dial
- Genuine flat 4 insert
- Genuine bezel assembly
- Genuine 703 crown & tube
- Genuine date wheel
- Genuine B25 285 SD crystal
- TC 93160A Sea-Dweller bracelet
- BP case w/ re-shaped crown guards
- Going to be getting a Yuki 3135 and then have the case drilled for lug holes when it's built.

...My only big setback right now is finding genuine tritium hands!!
Does anyone have any lying around??
:B:


I'm in love with this dial with the spiderwebbing and mellow patina of the tritium!!

Tickleshoes will probably do most of it, but depending on specific parts of the build I might have to get it done by multiple people. We’ll see once I find those damn hands!!

Just have some used gen hands relumed to match the dial patina with or without luminous material. If it were me I would use hands that glow so you can tell the time in the dark, Who is going to do the case work to fit the Gen Crystal, gen bezel and Yuki 3135. The only person that has ever done all three is Adrian @ado213 , I would buy an unserviced Yuki from Tickleshoes and have Adrian service it.

Based on your build, I was going to reach out to Adrian after I found some hands.

Saw this Picture on Facebook it is apparently the result of the wearer being in a Motorcycle accident.

Hopefully he or she is in better shape than the SD.
