Sogeha Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 A couple of respected members have noticed issues with TC cases, then TC significantly raised his game. I was seriously on the point of ordering, because 16610 is the last Rolex sub I really love, then TC goes AWOL. I'm really hoping he is okay, not in trouble and will resurface again before long, but for now the party seems to be stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you have the Yuki serviced and modded with gen 3135 parts. And for the sake of perfection, maybe snatch up a gen bezel assembly. I haven't seen the new TC Extreme bezel in person but the old TC bezels were meh. Edited September 26, 2016 by QueTip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 The Yuki I'm going to buy is from Tickleshoes over at RWI and will be serviced and with some gen 3135 parts or at least new parts. Gen DW is now on its way to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Got the gen DW today but I guess I have to get me another one... Within the ebay auction the seller stated that it's "vintage creme" but what I just got looks different and more beige or champagne...

QueTip Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yup, that's a champagne disc like i.e. for the 16613.. Sucks man.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Seller already said that he's taking it back. Now I have to find a new one...Sent from my wooden drums via Tupperware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
