Followed that discussion now for a long time. Wanting to start the project now as well. How can I find out if the TD has a BP version? Would prefer puretime. Thanks for your help.
I might be wrong, but I don't think PT carries this watch.
I normally use then as my dealer as well, but they don't list this watch on their site.
The TC dial DOES need work or the case itself which I found easier as the dial is already so delicate why risk it?.... It's a miniscule amount of metal that needed to be removed but IMO if you are comfortable with how to disassemble and reassemble a watch and change some hands there is no reason you can't build this watch yourself... I spent too long on mine and I'm giving it to my dad and I'm starting again and letting Katt do it all from the start. But have a go, what's the worst that could happen 
No, either dial or case need about 1mm taken off to fit the TC dial. General consensus seems to be TC dial has slightly better printing and less likely to be crooked markers, AFAICT there is almost no difference to the naked eye.
true i cant see any difference in bp and tc dial.but ive not seen a tc dial in real life on bp sd
There is a difference trust me... Subtle. But it's there, the printing is definitely more crisp the lume is smoother and 'whiter' the marker surrounds are awesome... BUT the BP dial is good straight OTB if the markers are all straight I would NOT change it especially if your date is aligned don't fix what ain't broke
When the dial is under the crystal and your checking the time from 2ft away the dials means sweet F all we're really talking loupe and 2" away from your face type differences
R2D4 are you around? Just wanted to confirm you bought your M3 0.3 pitch tap from china and it worked out alright for the TC tube, found some for $28 usd delivered, but I remember you said the 0.35 worked as well and they're much cheaper to buy.. Any info would be appreciated
jordan, do you confirm TC dial has imprint higher than BP ? I am interested the letters of the imprint are raised above the dial .. in BP dial printing is flat, it is not raised
i post pics of what I mean.
But put simply the answer is yes. But I do not believe that it's as raised as that gen photo! I honestly never took a good look.. The watch will be apart again tomorrow so I will try my best to get some decent photos and let you know my opinion.
Out of the box BP Dial:
Modded and Completed with TC Dial/hands and gen parts:
---------
It's not a HUGE difference but there is a shimmer and polish the TC has that is more gen like. Also, all markers are lined up perfect. My BP had misaligned 6 marker...
:cheers:
hmm nice pics.im happy at the moment with the bp dial,but looking at the gen dial print its fully raised like 3d.now tc dial is raised a bit,ive got tc hands on the way,might have to order a dial aswell tbh and get them fitted together
Man I wouldn't bother if your markers are straight... wear it for a while upgrade later is my advice.. Dial is just a bit of a headache unless you pay a modder to do it.. But up to you
