Heisenberg 0 Posted May 23, 2013 I promised I would get some macro shots of my new BP Sub C with A2813 movement running at 28,800 bph. I ordered this watch from Perfect Clones: http://www.p-cls.com...an-p-13554.html The photos are not the best but the best I can do. I reckon I could have done with better lighting and a better camera. This is the first time I have opened a watch up and photographed the movement so go easy on me. Hopefully these pics will help in finding out more about this movement. Thanks to @black263 for sending me a sticky ball to get the caseback off. It was very easy to do, the back came off with only a slight turn which I wasn't expecting. Ok so now for the pics: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nev848 0 Posted May 23, 2013 Looks good buddy. It arrived super quick as I am still waiting for mine but that's another story. Did it come by airmail or EMS in the end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bracelet doesn't seem a nice as the noob one especially the buckle. I have a spare noob buckle that I might try to swap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted May 23, 2013 Looks good, hombre - pictures as well (compared to what I can produce with a camera that shit it pure fuckin' artsy stuff.) How does that movement 'feel' when winding/listening etc in comparison - any noticeable difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted May 23, 2013 interesting new 21J movement, thanks for sharing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,839 Posted May 23, 2013 The bezel insert numbers look thicker like they do on the gen. And the pearls are supposed to be pretty good on these as well. I'm really considering getting one of these to replace my noob one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does that movement 'feel' when winding/listening etc in comparison - any noticeable difference? Cheers, my girlfriend actually took the pics. I just held the iphone as a torch to try to get as much light as possible lol. The movement feels smooth to me when winding or changing date, setting time etc. For example I would say it feels the same as an A2836 I have. I don't think the date flicks over at midnight though like on an A2836. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kleen™ 45 Posted May 23, 2013 But just having an A2836 feel from a 21J speaks of massive improvements. That + the obvious attraction of a hi-beat rate for just a fistfull of dollars more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes lesson learned there on my part. He has actually sent me another watch this week. So lets see when this arrives. Seems a top guy to deal with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the buying process was very smooth. I've always tried to avoid airmail after my beats got lost in it. Others say its fine though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
