I remember in the past there was a Steve Mc Queen Explorer on the bay.
A lot of member where looking on it, everybody thought fake.
One Member of the German Rolex Forum bought it for about 900€.
Guess what????
It was a gen one never touched from a watchmaker, never polished etc.
He posted it in the German Rolex Forum and a lot of people, me too look like idiots.
Say never never.
But this is fake for shure.
I ordered two of his bracelet, in the hope I get two good SELs for one bracelet
He mentioned that one SEL of the Bracelet is 0,5 mm to small.
We will see when they arrived.
Yepp they are from BK's SL Submariner Dial.
I bought it from him also the SL Hands.
I wanted to swap the Dial but I like the WM9 Dial
more so I changed the markers because they are like gen ones.
I updated my Hybrid Sub after a while....
I changed the markers of the WM9 Dial with BK nice SL Indicies...
Also the hands where changed to Bk's SL Hands....
Here is the Result.....
Sorry for the dirty Pics and watch
So here are my WM9 Hybrid Sub for comparsion..
V2 Case with Eta 2824 high pinions
Gen Insert
Gen Tube and Crown
Gen Crystal
Reshaped case by me
<acronym title="Crown Guard">CG</acronym>'s reworked
Retainer reworked
Wm9 Dial with Bk SL Indicies
BK datewheel
SL Hands
Reshaped SEL`s by me
WM9 clasp
The Insert is shaped to fit und I'm lucky at clips in.
All Mods done by myself
Forgive dust and scratches this is my daily beater
No offense here,
I talked only about the case.
The Bezel finish ( more defined) is better than on WM9 and TW.
Crown height is like gen also better.
CG's are similar to WM9 and TW.
Hope this helps

So the SELs look not good to me.
There is too much gap to the Lugs I think?
Also the middle link looks too long on the Pics.
But maybe only on your Pictures.
Clasp looks nice, how about the Diver extension?
I will wait for the movement when it goes separately.
Shape and fitment of the SELs is also important for me so keep me updated.
I'm in touch with TC, his bracelet looks also good to me.
He is so nice to send me two of them.
Will see how good they are.
But again best Sub I've seen.
I think the movement seems to be nice.
But they must correct it to take gen Hands in the future.
The build can be done cheaper with a Eta 2824 it will fit the Case for shure. Would like to see the bracelet that comes with Seans package.
I remember that the Case comes also with Lugholes in the Past.
So after this you must open your eyes when u buy a gen Sub.
This will fool a lot of people who are not in our hobby
As u know I build a lot of Subs in the past.
Most with gen Parts.
But this is state of Art.
Respect to u Chefcook.
Best Sub I've seen.
Congrats.
