SSTEEL

Thanks Sadly I don't know, the TC insert I was getting, the deal has fell through due to the seller having personal problems, so I'm on the hunt again.

Don't use any glue near the movement, remove the gear, and bond it firmly into the weight away from the watch, and leave to set good for several hours.

Thanks, Trustys bracelet, whilst good, it falls short on the finer details. These are the Coronet is wrong, the spheres on the crown points are too big, and all the stampings are incorrect, however, the rest of the bracelet is close to the TC one, but until I experiment to see how the SEL fit is, its up in the air. I guess my next step to take is to try it out, and add a comparison of fitment here

Just for comparison, I dug out a Sub bracelet that Trusty sold me with my first order from him earlier this year. Its for the Eddie Lee Sub seen earlier in this thread, when I have finished refurbishing the case set any way. Anyway, I was very surprised to see the similarities to the TC Bracelet, and V4 clasp. The first thing I noticed is the TC bracelet was smaller, and in actual fact has one link less that the bracelet I got from Trusty. Anyway, look at these following photos, and see for yourself. Weight of the Trusty bracelet is just 0.01g more than the TC bracelet, @ 6.28g maybe that extra link? TC Bracelet on the Right in the following photos.. As you can see, TC bracelet smaller in below photo.. TC Clasp rear, bottom. Notice the TC not only has the correct font, but also has a space in-between "Swiss Made" whereas Trusty don't. TC bracelet, Right. The Trusty bracelet has the 93250 stamping, the TC does not.

TC Left. Safety Clasp thumbnail area TC Left - Fold over safety clasp As you can see, they are pretty close, but the TC has all the finer details correct whereas the Trusty bracelet falls short. However, having said that, the Trusty bracelet is really well finished, and everything works on it as intended. Quite impressed with it, but like Thomas, the devil is in the details. What do you guy think of the comparison?

As above ^^ I have one of these A2 CUTTING MAT PRINTED GRID LINES KNIFE PAPER BOARD CRAFT...

Its the current TC LV insert mate. His V2 is not yet finished, and I have been told Thomas will update his blog on this when ready.

Cheers, yup, will fit a TC insert in the coming weeks, then save a few pennies for a gen insert, but in no rush. Booking next years vacation soon, so priority is this first, deposit soon enough

Got a TC LV insert on its way soon from another member I done a deal with. This will allow me to wear the TC Sub whilst I lok for a gen LV insert. The Rolex Forum is your best bet.

I cannot confirm this as not had a V3 mate. I am still waiting on a reply from Thomas to clear up the confusion on the bracelet/v4 clasp. Will post my response when I get it.

V4 clasp yes.

Indeed, but the thing is, I have no idea how to remove said pin, as its domed each end. Any ideas?

Ok, here you go. Need to remember, theres two spring bars missing from my sub atm, and the bezel insert, but we are talking very little in weight terms for these. 128.9g

Hang on a minute, and I will weigh my TC now, and post a photo of it on the scales. Brb.

Unless you buy it from a liar, and a thief from eGay

I was under the impression this was the case too, so confused a little myself mate. I guess I can smooth the sharp edges, its the long pin which maybe an issue.

Here's a couple of photos showing the end links stampings. I forgot to capture them earlier..

Video as promised..

Thanks As promised, bracelet back from the spa treatment, so grabbed some photos of it to detail is positives, and negatives. I have covered the negatives in video form which is uploaded to youtube right now, and will post it once completed. The only negatives really are the safety clasp on the V4 prototype clasp, its ill-fitting, and very sharp. Heres the photos... Fully opened, with diver extension open too.. The offending item, the safety fold over clasp.. Dive extension detailing.. The reverse side.. The diver extension release area on the rear of bracelet, marked with a round circle.. Once my video has uploaded I will post here. The video covers the following... Opening procedure Opening, and closing of Diver extension Closing bracelet completely Highlighting the Diver extension release area (circle) Pointing out the sharp and ill-fitting fold over V4 safety clasp

Very rare SKX023 Seiko diver. For sale soon.

Decided to give my TC Bracelet and V4 Clasp the Spa treatment, as the tightness hadn't loosened during wearing it for several hours, besides, I always like to give them a good soaking, and clean. Due to this, photos of the bracelet, and V4 clasp will follow later today. For now, I have taken many photos of the TC Case only for your viewing pleasure, some shots below have been taken of areas that have been requested by members. The DWO @ 19 is one such example. Please excuse any dust/marks etc, I did try and keep things clean, but due to my bench lamp, its picked up some crap. Will get a photo box eventually. Here we go, enjoy! First up a quick video demonstrating the bezel rotation, and how it performs. Its not too loose, or too tight, and in my opinion is just right. Also in the below video is a quick look at the seconds hand sweep of the TC2824, and a look at the CG's. Now the photos.. Now some close up shots of various areas.. As mentioned earlier, once my TC bracelet and V4 clasp have been cleaned, and lubed, I will provide some photos of it, and highlight the area of the clasp which I feel lets the bracelet down. Very sharp folding safety clasp which is also ill-filling due to a combination of being a prototype, and a long fitted retainer pin.
