My Franken Rolex SeaDweller 16600 V2 - Questions/Bracelet

Gen insert makes a huge difference. The reps are all too bulbous.

100% agree. Was a good thing to change it and I dont regret it at all!!

Thanks! I like it too and when someone would ask.... well it is a modified Sea Dweller.

The LES is an issue? Is there none at the GEN?

The LEC on the rep is too big and visible. On a gen, it's only visible under certain lighting conditions or using a loupe.

That's the only tell left, IMHO.

The LEC is not easy to see. Only from this direction with the right light.

A gen dial would be a nice addition.. You might wanna check the bay or TRF sales.

100% mate. Might be the next step in future. But I have 3 further projects now. And this is so damn close now. One of my daily beauties.

I would love AR on this one for sure. Under water is not a big deal at all, but out of the water, dif story.

Hi there to all of you. I own for some months now a bp classic sea dweller 16600 and already have got a tc bracelet and a gen 16600 insert to install. I want to ask about the gen insert installation. Is it simple as this? It just snaps on like the video i attached? Or requires sanding?

TC 93160 with the BP clasp is a great combination. The TC unit at the clasp has to be trimmed slightly. The BP clasp takes all gen spring bars without modification and has a very nice coronet.
