The teens are nicely centred - 20 onwards they're slightly right justified. As I said before, not a deal breaker for me. If anything I'd say the gen DW font is a smidgen smaller, leaving a bit more white surround.
Looks like the 21j date wheel are right aligned while the clone/swiss are slightly left aligned.
Just ordered a clone one. Will keep you guys posted.

It's difficult to replace the bracelet with TC in this Sea-Dweller? I need some special items?
PS: I never remove or replace any bracelet..

So I fit a TC bracelet to the previous version of this exact BP sub ... and it required that I sand the end links of the TC bracelet. It was too tight to fit in without modification. I'm sure there's a bit of variation, but it doesn't look like they changed the lugs in this iteration of the SD, so expect to do a bit of sanding.
What did you use? Just sandpaper? As an apartment dweller I have an embarrassingly small supply of tools.
Yea just used like 1500 grit sand paper slowly lapped the sides until it fight tight. No tools needed!
Did you keep it on your BP? I've decided to give the Sub a try again, should arrive tomorrow.
I bought the correct bracelet for the SD not BP sub ... The watch i'm talking about is the old BP SD before these changes were made. Sorry I wasn't clear! I've since sold that watch with the TC bracelet to a gentleman in the UK

So.. the date aperture window looks very close to gen. Here's gen.
Another really nice feature that it seems no one pays attention to, is the chamfering of the lug lines that run along the top outer surface of the lugs. I don't think the TC case has any of this. This BPSD does. Here's a gen so you can compare-
I'm pretty interested in trying the new asian 25j @ $168 shipped. I thought about going clone since the watch looks so promising, but both the asian and swiss ETA options are in that 3135 façade, which i'd prefer not to have (extra chances for debris, assembly issue, etc.).
Look how nice this new 25j looks-
I'm still tossing up between this or the BP TT black sub.. Same price/movement. I got one of the blue TT BP's for my father and I was seriously impressed. Has a regular clone ETA w/out rlx markings.
