Hi, i got this watch in a terrible member trade - scratched (he send be the watch without any protection) and dirty as hell anyway - to prevent me from getting arm cancer my watchmaker cleaned the watch, polished an regulated it - so its wearable now. my question : there are still some deep scratches i prob have to live with but the CGs should be easy to refinish ? anybody have some tips ? i guess i have to disassemble the whole CG ? how can i re-brush them ? sand paper ? thanks !! Frank

wow - cool ! such a simple watch - should be easy to rep this to perfection. cheers, Frank

great ! did they fixed the colour of the hands ? cheers, Frank

ahhh they want $50 shipping to Germany grrrr whould have been a very nice deal. cheers, Frank

haha finding this thread makes me feel better im banned in Repgeek and RWI now - nearly the same situation - i really got totally scammed be an well known member in Repgeek. I got the most [censored] up watch ever in all this years in the forums - and the seller, instead of trying to make things right calls me all kind of names on top .... anyway - I asked Mysterio as a mod on Repgeek for help - got no response but an permanent ban message on screen. Then is sent him an PM on RWI asking why i was banned when im asking for help with an member and got there banned too Well - thanks Mysterio for your help - NOT cheers, Frank

one 16610 and one 16610 LV - typical problem : the movemnt unwinds himself - the crown breakes = you can not manualy wind the watch - the TC datewheel overlay is just mounted with some stripes of double-side tape = sooner or later the date will hang low or not switch over alone. even after a service the movemnt feel cheap compared the gen ETA. dont get me wrong - the watches look great - esp after some gen parts are installed - but with all the problems i had, they burned a big hole in my pocket maybe i was unlucky - i also did not get the watches from TC direct - i got them in member trades ... which i tend to be unlucky with latly .... hello "Indec" cheers, Frank

i had nothing but trouble with the last 2 TC Subs i had- (crown, movement, datewheel and general quality problems) i whould not recommend an TC Sub if you are not willing to work on your watches and have an rep-friendly watchsmith. cheers, Frank

keep it - thats the best whan you can do atm for an Sub-C without going ballistcs and sink tons of $$z in gen parts. cheers, Frank

lack of time interest and money .... but finally after some months i was able to drive a few kilometers north from Frankfurt this week. our Andriano Gelantano is still alive an kicking - moved again - but was able to fix / build like 5 of my watches in 2h .... thanks again Domi - bunga bunga - keep on rocking cheers, Frank

as much as i know is that he was never an watchmaker

cheers, Frank

its been a while ... cheers ! Frank

i saw him last last weekend - he had some family business that took a lot of his time - don't worry - just be patient ... one thing i noticed : his re-luming skills have drastically improved over the last months cheers, Frank

digging deep ? the first 1:1 Subs - 4 years ago ! nice memory's

Hello .... sickos cheers, Frank

there is no easy answer to this question the short version : get the Noob cheers, Frank
