They are wrong and need to be Flat at the backside look here.
Also the Clasp need to be 93160A

So what should I do??They are wrong and need to be Flat at the backside look here.

Who did you get a 3135 Polizia from? The one I just got from Hont was a 2824.
You can do nothing about it, only find the right bracelet. Seems that all new breed BP 16600 comes with wrong bracelet and the new weird Bezel construction. That's a step back
I agree with the above. Although going for 3135 is a plus, BP got lazy on the case specs indeed. Case rework by a skilled modder is more required than ever with these actual series. Let's hope BP will update this in the future.
As mentioned earlier BP may reuse 93250 clasps instead of producing new 93160 ones. Although also marked 93250 the SELs are made to fit the SD case.
The BP SD-SEL is on the left, a RAF Sub-SEL on the right. In contrast to the RAF the BP SEL does not accept 2mm spring bars.
Differences become more clear when mounted. Putting the BP SD-SEL on a RAF 16610 (right side, stock on left). The BP SD-SEL is too thick to be a common 93250 SEL.
And vice versa the RAF Sub-SEL on the BP 16600 (right side, stock on left). The common 93250 SEL leaves a gap and can’t be fastened at all.
Finally, the BP SD with stock SELs on both sides. I don’t think it’s very different from the gen fit.
Built out of ignorance or lacking knowledge I don’t think the bracelet represents a dramatic flaw (the bezel is a different story though). Realistically, these 5 digit models are not longer mainstream and there is no competition among the factories to build the best ones. BTW, I replaced the wrong clasp with a 116610 model and now it’s a perfect wearable combination for me

So in summary, the BP still needs the following:
-RAF 5 digit bracket
-WSO bezel assembly
-crown guard shaping
Is that right?
The RAF 93250 won’t fit the BP SD. The stock one does very nicely but has the wrong number, should be 93160. I have have to update my last post to make it more clear.
For example I can get the raf bracelet m2m but is the clasp the only no go here? Trying to follow
[FOR SALE] - RAF 16610 BRACELET - UK - BRAND NEW
Hi there, I removed the bracelet from my brand new 16610LN RAF today, and I'd love to sell it on. Preferably within the UK, speedy delivery with RMSD.

I have updated my post. The RAF bracelet is completely wrong for the SD and can not even be attached. I wanted to prove if the stock BP SD bracelet is an ordinary 93250. It is not, even though the numbers on the bracelet suggest it is.
Don't worry, the stock bracelet is the best you can get. Unless you can find a correct older 93160 if the wrong numbers bother you too much.
Too bad, even with a new retaining ring there is no chance? The stock bezel assembly is really crappy.WSO Bezel assembly don't fit the new breed Case!
@lukko what’s your plan for modding this part?
