NH_Vintage 115 Posted March 8, 2023 Has anyone here bought and lived with a Stock 16613 from BP Factory? Particularly the Black Dial variant... I've reached out to Mary and Marv but neither have photos of this model to hand. Would love to see yours and any pros or cons as I'd love to avoid the franken route.

NCRich 13,795 Posted March 10, 2023 I got both, and I've had them for a few years. Got the blue first then the black. Mine are both 2824s. Nothing really to say about them other than they are great for the money. Lots of people have modified them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remembered that this doesn't take a gen dial/movement swap right of the box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are both these pics of stock watches or have you modded them in anyway?Sent from my SM-A217F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mabi 29 Posted March 10, 2023 That second watch - gold/black is just amazing. I´ve seen some seller with alot of positive review on the gate selling these models and similar claiming they are BP - anyone bought any BP on the gate and got a decent rep ? (not talking those extra cheaps reps :)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This comes also with a 3135 so guess you could do that swap, I've not investigated. The 3135 the BP comes with isn't the reliable one if I remember correctly. But if/when it craps out you can get the better one on Aliexpress for a little over $100. This is a better pic of the blue one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rokerite 2,484 Posted March 10, 2023 As good as they are. BP subs are not gen spec in a lot of ways so adding "gen" parts maybe a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
