BCE Mod Questions

Recommended Posts

texski

I am trying to recreate a BCE that I have seen. I will be ordering a BCE Utl V3 TT.

 

BEZEL

I would like to gold plate a SS bezel, but not the rider tabs. On this bezel, are the tabs held on by the screws only? If so, where can I source these screws in SS? Does anyone have any suggestions about plating . . . my first time. Or is there a trusted dealer who will sell rep parts, too.

 

STRAPS

What is the distance between lugs on a BCE Ult V3 (42.5 case size)?

Also, what do I need to know about straps? I am looking for a Mocha calfskin. What makes rep replacement straps better than others? What else should I buy for a leather strap if I order this watch with a bracelet?

 

Thanks!

Another great watch texski! My BCE still makes it in the wrist rotation at least once a week

 

22mm Strap

 

Here is my Graphite V3 with HKTan shoes.

 

The rep straps are a huge tell IMO. Get a gen strap made for deployment.
