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.

Brilliant thanks mate :cheers:

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

But don't the 116610 bracelets have polished sides, like a SD bracelet? I wonder if using a TC Sd bracelet on the BP sub would work, since the bracelet is one of that watch's weak points.

What did you use? Just sandpaper? As an apartment dweller I have an embarrassingly small supply of tools.

I'm an extended stay hotel dweller so I feel your pain.

Dremel 3 speed.

That's all you'll need for guns/watches/handiwork.

Guys I can't tell the difference between any of the non canal bracelets ... I've only seen photos so I'm sure there is a noticeable difference but what's "wrong" with this one ??

Ps I'm ordering a TC bracelet just for the hell of it.

It's not really the appearance, it's the feel. The finish of the edges, the weight, the movement between links, the quality of the brushed finish.
Hard to tell in pictures, but makes a big difference in the flesh.

Couldn't agree more. I fitted a TC SD bracelet to my original release Classic SD and it was a massive improvement on the stock bracelet.

It needed some shaving to fit, but the construction and finish was superior. The problem with the stock bracelet is the rattly clasp and sharp edges. There also seems to be some variability with the SEL fit. The TC SD bracelet elevates this SD release to super repdom IMO.

One minor thing that I have noticed is that the hour hands is different from gen. The gen has a wider Lume segment.

Feels like very low risk of being called out.

"Nice watch you got there! But hey, what's with the lume segment on the hands?"

does this link work for anyone?

Doesnt work for me..

Also who can I order from to guaranteed get the 28k high beat version?
Click to expand...

You have to click on PC's links twice from the forums to get to the actual watch, I have no idea why. There are two 28.8k versions, one with the Asian eta clone and one with the "new breed 25j movement"(cheaper).
