You have nothing to fear. Patience is key my friend. You will soon learn, no need to worry.

Thanks, thats great to hear!

I couldn't find a TC review section in the TC trade are, so I will post this here. Well, I did it, after a long time, I have finally sent paypal payment yesterday for my TC Sub LV Type II I have been in contact with Thomas on and off these last few weeks talking about this build, and his up and coming new builds too, including the all new TC Sub Gen like insert, with perfect pearl, and of course the lastest project, the TC TT Sub This thread here serves as an interim review post, covering the various stages through to receiving the watch. 06/05/2013 Order submitted, and paid via paypal. Note to note, prior to my order, Thomas informed me that he no longer offers the Swiss ETA in his build. This is due to the high markup from the supplier, and sourcing problems from this same supplier. Therefore, TC now offers the TC2824 movement, which is on par with the ETA anyway, with parallel specifications during lots of testing, including a drop test. The TC 2824, does however come with the gen like #4 Cannon Pinion The new price for the Type II LV Sub is now $450. Plus shipping, which breaks down to the following parts, mods, and costs... Type II is of exact specs to Type I except Type II has no bezel insert. It's a perfect launch pad for members who wants to put a gen bezel insert on, whether green or black, or go for a franken project. Shipping CONUS is $5.35, plus 2.9% PayPal fee the grand total of TC LV Sub Type II with TC 2824 is US$468.55 If you're in EU, Shipping from UK is US$22 plus 4% Paypal, that grant total with TC 2824 is US$490.88 For members in Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, shipping made from China (EMS) is US$20, plus 4% PayPal fee. The grand total of TC LV Sub Type II with TC 2824 is US$488.8 There is a 19-21 day waiting period for this watch due to no builds completed in stock, but Thomas has confirmed that he does have all the parts to build them. Since sending my paypal payment to Thomas yesterday, he has yet to get back to me, so I dropped him an email today just to confirm he got my payment ok. Again, no reply as of yet. I will email him later today too as I wish to confirm the availability of the #4 Cannon Pinion on this replacement TC2824, but I feel it will be without. As mentioned above, I will update this post as soon as I know something. All being well, I should have my TC sub by this months end.

Theres some great prices on that site mate, thanks for sharing. Have you, or anyone else have any experience in buying from them?

I have been contemplating doing this for a while now. The replacement blades for the various razors I do have are getting stupidly expensive too. Any recommendations on straight razors to invest in?

Welcome to RWG, my advice is do not buy from that site you mention, stick to our very own Trusted Dealers!

Great pick up, I have the same but with bracelet. Love it, such a beautiful looker for sure. Which TD did you get it from?

Welcome aboard Look forward to seeing your franken when you get time. No pun intended

Welcome to the forums. Good to see you are doing much reading of the vast amount of help, advice, and info within the forums. Our of curiosity, watch watch did you get from a non-TD, any photos of that one?

I'm no expert on PAM stuff, but that looks good to me.

Sorry to hear about the drop. As mentioned above, our great member, and watch guy in the US, MD202 should be able to sort you out. As to servicing, it depends on movement I guess. As to the 12 indices, its a really simple fix with the right tools. Invest in the RWG tool kit http://shop.homage-watches-guide.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=162

Well no turning back now. Just dropped this lot on my gen parts which are being shipped out to me tomorrow. Well, not quite the full amount above on gen parts, some of it has gone for my TC Sub LV Type II with DWO V3, and Canon Pinion 4 Regarding the franken build, I will keep all progress updates within this thread, however, for the up and coming side by side comparisons I plan to do (Gen Vs Rep) parts, I will start new threads within the Tag Heuer sub forum to serve reference to RWG members just like I did with the Gen vs Rep carrera bracelets. Some Gen parts eye candy heading my way tomorrow

Agreed, great scene, and very good film too.

The watches the seller has listed look Genuine.

Congrats on your first repair Wait until you have a full blown tool kit

Aha, that explains it. That sucks about those wall bricks though. Maybe replace with breeze blocks?

Coming along nicely my friend. What is your workshop's intention? I spot some radio gear in your photos, are those related to what you plan on using this new found space for?

"wait" is missing from your post Congrats, nice looking rep this one.

Looks a good box you made there, very professional looking. I would imagine if you were to make various finishes of boxes, there maybe interest, however, it might not be cost effective for you given the low prices AceTimer charges.

Interesting, which is was in English.

Very nice indeed

Great review and photos my friend, thanks for sharing your experience with it. I know where you are coming from with titanium, I was the same when I purchased my first Titanium watch, a Tissot chronograph, it was really light, but after a week or so, I got used to it, so much so, I could at times not even know I was wearing it.

Looks spot on that my friend, lovely.

Welcome to the RWG I agree, there's a wealth of valuable info, and advice on these forums

Oh right, I thought it was. Maybe it should be introduced?
