Love my seadweller but I bought a second hand tc se bracelet for it and the end links on one side leave a gap. Is that normal? My Bp bracelet didn't have a gap and I was wondering if that meant someone had modded it too much and it is causing a gap.

With the TC bracelet the SEL have to modded to fit, so your case may be different to whoever had it prior to you, and unfortunately it sounds like your having SEL gap issues which can't really be rectified unless you could steal the SEL and couple of links off the BP bracelet and have a mix n match... Not sure what other options you have unfortunately unless you grab a brand new TC bracelet..

just use the original strap, it is very good too, at least the latest batches, I know some of the older ones were 92350 straps with shiny sides (wrong link near clasp and wrong clasp)

Anyone interested in the modification of the BP SD case to accept gen crystal, gasket and separate rehaut ?

You're going to want the submariner instead then. Of course, you could put a date mag on your SD, but that would be a bit screwy.
would love to have a 16610 sub with BP quality but I cant fork out for a TC lol

No, unfortunately not. The BP case does not have a separate rehaut, which acts as part of the crystal seal

dam maybe its not as superrep as i originally thought .a gen lec crystal would be perfect for our mserial sd

Yes it would be the icing on the cake !!. I'm working on it at the moment, got the case machined out and the separate rehaut made!.

so it seems you are the only member with perfect white hands that match the dial out the box from shinewatch sora.or are all the new bp sd shipping with fixed hands now?

Not sure brother. I did go with the cheaper 2813 option. Lack of funds and no need for the fancy unit.

help guys !! I 've found in my city set of genuine hands for sd. nicee, are really brilliant!!
is there trick / solution to fit them in 2836mov. please tell me it's possible.. :cower:

Would be easier to get the TC hands and use the gen hands when you can get a y3135 or gen movement.

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed the differences in BPSD's? I recently bought a BPSD from P4G to give to my boss and while I was putting on a TC bracelet I noticed differences between the new one and the one I already had. Here are some pics. The top (rubber strap) is the one I already had.

The bezel teeth are deeper on the new one. Also the crown is different.


The Crown Guards are also thinner on the new one and are more flaired.

I will have to go back and look but around May or June. I think this is very similar to the thread about TC's crown guards. You will have some variation from batch to batch. I even saw this on some of the gens on the net. I will try to post some pics.

First let me prefice this by saying these details are so minute there is no way you could see them at arms length or if you did not have another watch to compare it to.

I disagree on the CG's, i think the older one looks better. imho
I do think the bezel, and crown are better on the new. Also the dial is a vast improvment over the old stock dial I had. Even the hands look thinner on the new.
