sending back will take a long time :-(

One day i opend the crown and i had the crown in my hands.

Is there no other possibility? Is it possible to change the movement or sell it with a broken stem?

sometimes i think it would be easier to buy a new one with another movement. But i cant find the classic BD, only the Polizia di stato version.

I really need your experience.

If sending it back is not for you I would just sell it.

Can anyone please confirm if the original Rolex click spring for the bezel will fit the BP SD? Mine as gone missing... And also where can I find it aside from EBay?

Thank you!

man i miss everyone in here, Maron how's your injury? neck right?

hey! thanks for asking. It's not great, no better and no worse. Still chronic pain everyday, but I have learned how to manage it by avoiding activities and stuff. The university provides me an ergonomic chair and I use a laptop for school instead of textbooks and writing by hand. I'm meeting the second spine surgeon in eight days, finally after a long wait. Really hoping that he will think that an operation can help and agree to do it in May, but I have to be prepared for a "no" or a "maybe". But at least when I look down at my wrist and see the 16600 that ado213 crafted for me I can smile :)

jessemack A great watch you own now. That is now a very beautiful SeaDweller and with these parts an amazing piece. I am a big fan of these SD with drilled lug holes.
I think I have to go also this way with drilled holes but as an late 16600 model with holes ( like an 2001/2002 model without LEC like a Y-serie)

Has anyone had their watch engraved to match a serial number year? I would love to have this engraved with an X serial number to match the aged tritium of the dial and hands. That would put it around 1991 an be appropriate for the drilled lugs too.

Has anyone fitted a sh3135/yuki in the bpsd case? I finally picked up another one, but looking to add gen dial instead of the tc dial I used on my last build.
