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

mhhmm - looks gen 2me  - congrats !

(Yuki is not shipping to Germany)

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

I found this post. I honestly think there needs to be a Sapphire Sub section. Is the nylon gasket installed dry against the crystal and case? I cannot confirm this.

Thanks for posting guys.

E

digging deep ?

the first 1:1 Subs - 4 years ago !

nice memory's

Hello .... sickos

Hello fellows from this forum:

The 50€ are ready in my Paypal account to send when Andy reply to me, he wrotes to me that he has nothing to tell me and this question he send to General Discussion now in this side of the forum.

I have nothing to say, i said sorry when Frank sent me old post, it was inmediatly becouse a think we must we create friendship between us.

After that i wrote to Andy that i have not problem to pay. Is it possible to know when i pay do you send my watch?

Franks says my form to speak about him, maybe Frank all the peple from this forum must know how after i ask sorry to you, a few days ago when i don not understand very well the andy´s post, your words to me were terrible " idiot, stupid, and up, and any moderator stop to you, even Andy ask once how is my english language. After advertisement my long time without practice English.

I would like to say that i found a very nice people in this page, great guys, and serious persons, but i am tired from this discussion without exit anyplace.

I had one idea and i would like to propose one question to the forum.

One a little person, a child of the islands is a serious and incurable malignant disease, rather than donate 50 € the forum, can we to sell the watch and you send directly all the amount raised forward it to try to improve their quality of life until the end of his day . I think he has an account number of the red cross, and informs you if you (or forum) accept my humble request. You have my respect, and you can send the amount in the all persons of this forum named, and not like me.

Please considered my proposal.

Thanks

Santi.

Santiago - we had an - 3 Pages long discussion with 3 Mods involved - in witch your English was perfect btw

NOT a SINGLE time you responsed to ANY of my simple questions

- you ignored me completely - you where not willing to corporate in ANY way to find an solution !

that's why Andy put this public - think about it .....

when you told me you got an defective watch i offered you 4 very fair solutions that you rejected.

instead you put an public [censored]-storm over me in which i still stayed calm and offered you help

and apologized - finally Andy jumped in and offered help- thanks good ! without him the watch would bee stuck at cust. and my account here deleted -

after 2 hell of sales im done

so the truth came out and you finally became very very quiet ...

still you have the nerve to insult me - i DON'T get it ? Whats wrong with you ?!
