This watch is so nice! I'm little afraid of it's thickness though... I'm used to explorer 1, DJ and a sub (6-digit)...

This wears quite a lot smaller than a Sub C. The thickness is just over the crystal, but because its small by modern standards it really doesnt feel thick.

I had one, a miyota powered version. It was great, and apparently 100m water resistant out if the box. But I did find it a bit too thick to be a comfortable daily wearer. It looks good without the cyclops though and does look smaller than a 5 digit sub date. The dial is the same size as the 14060 Sub.

New batch? Pictures?

There was a production problem with a batch a few years ago. First link at the clasp would not bend.
I had a TC bracelet and the stock BP for mine. TC was obviously better, but i dont remember the BP as brushed shat.

Why is it much better?

the 2836 has a better date change function , its instant instead of the slower 2824 style , the 2836s date wheel sits taller than the 2824 , much better to adapt to the DWO than the 2824 , the 2836 uses standard hands vs the 2824 needing tall tube hands , and no funky dial spacer is need for the 2836

Alright, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I didn't know these differences

Mine is incredible. Got it last summer from Lucy. The only thing which is bad is the bezel movement - which is absolutely terrible.

edit - i’ll post some pics in this thread tomorrow. Anything in particular you want to see?
What's so bad about the Bezelaction?

Nur-Uhr Nice pics (your pics are always out in the snow!). Did you drill the lug holes, or was it like that out of the box?
Now where can I find a BP 16600 Sea dweller with 2828 or 2836 ? :confused:
