BP Seadweller.. Best SD available Period

[Seadwellermike]

Does anyone have a stock BP I insert they would be willing to part with? I faded mine and like it but also want to try it on go back and forth when I the mood strikes: pix of the faded insert I made and Ginault bracelet and DSSD clasp for kicks….

I got the following BPSD parts - crystal, crystal gasket, insert, tube, crown.

I think they were brand new but have to check again.

I got them with the franken I posted pics of just before your post.

 

[Kalev007]

And is that a stock BP on your pics?

I ordered some of the bezel parts off Amazon, so I'll let you know how they fit with the BP parts.

Kalev007, my watch is mostly stock yes. It has a Ginault bracelet I bought new from John directly (TC? Who knows…. ) and it has a DeepSea SeaDweller clasp that makes it a pleasure to wear/adjust on the fly. Also, 2mm spring bars. I’m a stickler for SEL fitment and I can honestly say this setup is the best I’ve ever seen. It’s perfect IMHO. And honestly, with the solid links on the bracelet, and milled clasp instead of stamped, it not only adds weight/heft to the watch, it makes it SILENT. No sound from the bracelet at all, and I don’t oil it like a lot of people to. The watch FEELS amazing, like a far more expensive watch than it is, and honestly better than the gens with hollow mid links. I’ve owned gens, and they feel cheap with hollow mid links and stamped clasps. Just my opinion.

I will PM you about the insert!! Pix of SEL ETC FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE. Oops, sorry about the caps.

This may be a dumb question, but can I pop off my whole bezel assembly if my BPSD is a 21j? I know the cases are different from 2824 to 2836 to 3135 etc. But is my bezel attached differently or can I pop the whole bezel assembly off just like I would a gen/3135 watch like the one posted about 6 posts above this post. I’d like to remove it and inspect the click spring etc, but refuse to pry it without knowing if I’m going to destroy it or not.

Okay so i got the bezel assembly from the ewatchparts store on amazon, and none of the parts fit. The clicker, the spacer ring, the bezel, all off by about .1mm. so skip them if youre looking for parts

Also if anyone has a spare BP bezel laying around, i fucked mine up. Dont even need an insert (but ill take otherwise), just need the actual bezel ring

they probably sent you the ones for the sub, which is def different than that for the seadweller. If you look a few posts up I’m looking for an insert, so if you end up with an extra insert I’ll gladly pay you for it .

I think the 14060 bezel or insert is the same as the 16600, I could be wrong, I’m sure someone will chime in

that would be great if true. I did some light searching this morning and it seems like a gen 16600 bezel wont fit the bp 16600 because its a slightly different inner diameter, even if the gen inserts do fit. was hoping someone could confirm

 

[Replisimio]

Yes the 14060 and 16600 insert are interchangeable.

What about the actual bezels?

I think a bit of machining is required to fit a gen bezel to the Bp case.

Yeah, the gen bezel ring doesn’t fit the rep case without mods, but the inserts can fit if you get the right one. Most people get the sun 16610 insert and sand it down a bit to fit the BP bezel.

im still curious if my 22j BP SD bezel can be taken off. The case like normal (pry’d like gen) or if it’s held on differently. I don’t want to attempt it if I’m gonna bend it or something.

Does the new A3135 version accept gen bezel and crystal? I had the older A2824 back in the days, but want another one. Was thinking to get the A3135 version (if available) and go the franken route (if possible).

 

[Kalev007]

If anyone's interested I listed this one yesterday - https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...s-aa/10326446-rolex-sea-dweller-16660-franken

 

[markiemark]

Received the 3135 version today. It seems to be completely different.

On the 3135 the bezel seems to be thicker/higher, bezel teeth are sharper, helium escape seems to be larger and it's heavier...

 

[markiemark]

Case construction is completely different as well...

F*ck! There goes my franken project... just bought everything gen for it

Is this 3135 vs 2824 ? Or vs Gen Case?
