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

Thanks. It'll definitely fit a 3135. Just curious if anyone knows if they are the same part. I just got a gen dial and am on the look out for gen hands

So..another try
@flextime
when you search 16600 parts at chrono24.de there are some Handsets.
In the detailed description you will see some other models that will belong to the handset (16600,16610,16660,16800).
If you buy one of this Sets for example I think it will be the right one for your SD.
Greets and stay healthy

Just got my BP dweller. 116600 the 40mm. Planning on modding it with the deep blue dial. They’re impossible to find but managed to get an ARF. Any input on a better rep one? Think it’s got the super sharp markers on it. Any input is appreciated.

Finally just found a kick ass thread about the deep blue. Think I’m good but I always appreciate input.

Thank you all for the help.

Here is the gen dial that I just received. (A smudge is on the 12 marker, the rest is from the bag)

sorry who are?
i love my flat 4 BPSD.. only issue is that hands are wayy too green. ofc replacing hands could solve it, but is there any way else? i live in a hot climate area, maybe leaving it a few weeks in the sun will damage the SL lol?

Is it me or all SELs on BP's SeaDweller are just amazing? I remember they used to make it also on 2824 clone, has anyone bought any of these recently? It's really really tempting me!

Yes they have improved them over the years from being very chunky to start with. I wish they would improve the crystal now and only the 3135 version is worth buying as it appears to have the better case.

It does look like they have improved quite a lot indeed. What are the differences with the ETA clone case? Usually it's the crown height which is something I don't care much about, and with BP sometimes the ETA version has the date window in the wrong position which messes up the cyclops but it doesn't apply here. I would really prefer an ETA clone version as the SA3135 is the absolute worst of the Rolex clones, sadly. And having to buy a VR3135 for a very cost-effective watch kind of defeats the whole purpose to me.

But hey, probably it's as easy as getting a few emails out to Toro, Andrew, Ryan, etc, and see what they reply with. I might do that after Easter.

Hi friends, after having read “only” the last 100 pages of this thread I placed the order for a 16600 with a 3135.
I’m totally agree about the low quality of of SA movements and I already decided to buy a better quality movement.
Since I’d like to stay with the BP dial (the octopus one) is anyone able to tell me which will be the best movement to buy and to swap “plug and play” order to not have problems with the dial foots and the date window?

Get a serviced VS 3135. This will be the very best option for a replacement of the SA 3135. If you can't find one look out for a VR 3135. This one is also a reliable 3135 clone.

Thank you Kadee for your help.
My main worry is to get the right movement to have no problems on the date window position but I can understand that it is not an issue!

Just bought a BP 3135 SD via M2M next door, arriving next week, so very excited about that.

Fancy wearing it on rubber as a change from my other watches, also given that it seems the standard bracelet/clasp on the BP isn’t that great.

Anyone else wear their SD on a rubber?

Trying to perhaps find a Rubber B rep on Ali express that would suit it.
