So keep saving and go for the TC sub then huh guys?

i am dying to pull the trigger on one of these, has anyone else ordered one? It seems all the dealers have them now, and the photos on torobravos site look really sweet!

Has anyone have any long term use with the 3135 movement? I am interested in it for a project not sure it is worth it. I think I have found a source for purchasing the movement alone.

As anxious as I am to get my hands on a TC sub, I am willing to wait for the next version. In the mean time I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the 2010 hulk from trevor time. Has any one seen or ordered one. Look great and the price is right. I currently only have black dial and bezel subs and thinking that the green would be an interesting change. Any thoughts guys?

has any one heard back from TC about the 3 bracelet special? I emailed him saying I was interested

The homage watches do have their place,but with that said I still can't find a reason not to buy a TC Sub over one. the reason I went for the $700 mark was the pricing on some of the homage watches they get a little pricey, but if one was to spring for a Gen insert you could end up with almost $700 for the TC. I suppose that is what my true question was, is there any reason/other watch to not go for the TC sub.

Thanks to all I really appreciate the input. I do find myself really fond of the Helson Skin Diver and my end up with one eventually it seems to be the only fifty fathoms look alike still readily available. But the funniest thing is that I am worried about the Homage watches being of "lesser" quality than the TC or other super reps. Because If you are trying reall, really hard to make a rep watch look, feel and work like a $6000 watch would it not be of better quality just by default?

If you could spend $700 would you go for a TC sub or an "inspired by" watch like a ginault, OWC or a helson? It seems as the homage watches are made in china anyway, but they do claim to have water resistance, so besides that is there any value to them? The reason one would go for an "inspired by" watch is because they like the GEN it is based off of. So, in steps the TC sub, with all the criteria one would desire, but is it the better buy? Looking forward to your replies.
