BP Seadweller.. Best SD available Period

[Dan71]

I forgot ,
the case is without bevels (like the last 1665 jkf) but easy to make it with a nail file ( yes a nail file ) .

The only thing that really bother me is the caseback with the not centered engraving .
I ask to Toro but is not available the old batch caseback .

Yes, it is like the jkf cases. A file works? I feel like it wouldn't be shiny though like it's supposed to be.

I make only a little bevel. See below

The chamfer on the lugs is a nice angle, and with polish will be the right finish. Well done! That crystal height is insane! I love it, and wish mine were like that! Pix of mine for illustration….

Tks for feedback .
I think that only the case is different . The dial is like other BP last batch with the improved bracelet and wrong caseback.

Maybe the 16600 is really out of stock and they put together parts that still have on stock (dial hands etc)

Can't say for sure even for dial... Did you get it from a TD ? Did you accept the first watch presented in QC pictures ?

Just out of curiosity no judgements made...

Yes from toro and he said that was not possibile change the watch (I had doubt about alignment of the 12 triangle indices . But was only pic angle)

For me Is the same watch that many have bought in the last years is the ultimate batch with the improved bezel , bracelet . Only the case was without bevel . Not sure about the engraving because I’m not able to remove the bracelet I have to go to my watch smith

Don't sweat for it there is nothing noticeable on wrist. If movement is keeping good time just enjoy it!

That crystal looks different than mine (in the above post) almost has a plexi look to it around the edge and I LOVE it!! The first two pix show it, the Police dial one does not.

 

[Submariner23]

That’s correct.I think the first one is an older BP Version...and i Love it too
I was able to get this lovely Piece last year on RG m2m.
In my opinion the Crystal on my Police Version is a little bit higher.Bezel is sharper and with a better Clickspring.
Both got an 3135 inside.
The Police Version is a funny thing to have but it sits only in my watchbox.
Because of this I planned to built my „cheap small Franken 16600“ :

Base : my old 16600 Version
Bezel and Clickspring from the Police Version
Aftermarket Insert
VR3135 serviced
GEN Crown
GEN SL Handset
Waterproofed
Clasp/Bracelet already ultrasonic cleaned and soaked in Babyoil

That‘s it

i have a really dumb, almost noob question for the group: most sapphire crystals feel cool to the touch when placed on the forehead. my BPSD does not. when on the wrist, if i hold the watch to my forehead, the crystal feels warm. am i judging this wrong? have i been wearing a mineral crystal for all this time?

the reason i care, is i really want to have a prof's crystal treatment but if it is a mineral, i will get a new one all together, and will ask this group for a sapphire to sell me.

What else do you test with your forehead, I feel like there must be more? haha

 

[Seadwellermike]

Seriously, it’s a simple test. If cold it’s sapphire if not it’s usually not. It’s a simple question, no need to make fun of me for asking.

also, has anyone come up with a good way to darken the HEV? I’m thinking of chemical cold blueing similar to the Beechwood (sp) stuff used on firearms but feel that’s too dark.

 

[mclarendude]

Finally wearable. Just transplanted a beautiful and healthy VR3135 into this.

 

[Seadwellermike]

Any thoughts on darkening the HEV? Mine has really started to polish and lighten, I’m open to suggestions.

does anyone know how to remove it? I’d assume it twists out, and am not sure if I’ll hurt something trying to do so. Pic for attention.

Does the 16600 use the same gen hands as the 16610LN?

 

[Submariner23]

Always nice to wear

I don’t know for sure but the GEN 16610 Handset should fit your 16600(3135 inside).
