    (J551) Option 1  "Maybe i Keep the TC movement and try to repair it."

     

    (SS) Option 2  "I have Swiss ETA movements in stock."

     

    No one asked me but I vote for option 2. 

    From my past experience, many/most china etaclones are prone to be Junk in the long run. 

    A few of the china etaclone parts are Ok though...ETA 2836 non adjustable 24H conversions for example.  Some of the autowind assemblies can be Ok if cleaned and oiled before use.

     

    China 3135 rlxclones...I never had one but a few issues come to mind from what I have read:

    None will interchange with ETA 28xx swiss or etaclone.  Different dial foot location, different hands etc.

    There are a few different designs of the 3135 rlxclone.  Some Ok, some not so good.

    Movements may arrive dirty and dry or dirty and over oiled.  Need to be $erviced.

    No parts = A Big Problem.  Some genuine parts may fit but they cost a lot of $$.

    Auto wind assembly problems. 

    Calendar problems.

    Etc.

     

    The Plus...they 'appear to be' genuine.   :thumbs:

    The Minus...rlx watches have solid case backs.   :frusty:

     

    Thank you very much for the information

  2. I assume you mean watch head. Google "cape cod cloth" great for shining polished metal. Be careful if your watch has a brushes finish, vigorous polishing with a cape cod will remove the brushing.

    sorry you're right- watch head. 

     

    thanks for the tip!

  3. Well let's see .... first you asked about the bracelet in your thread here:

     

    http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/166878-got-my-tc-sub-v6/

     

    Then you started another thread about the bracelet here:

     

    http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/167508-tc-bracelet-v3/

     

    And now this thread. So that's at least three. I actually think there is one more, because I remember being the one to mention that using the v3 links with the v4 clasp was the best way to go and that post is not in the two above.

     

    People wonder why noobs sometimes get a hard time when asking questions. This is why.

     

    I just thoroughly read the v5 post from TC himself. If you can't find a v3 bracelet, then I would buy the v5 and swap the v4 clasp. It's as good as you are going to do. Here's the thing ... in this thread, just like the v3 thread you started earlier (if anyone bothers to respond to this one) you are going to get the same thing ... a bunch of different opinions. You aren't going to get clarity on something that has no clarity. If you are going to nit-pick your rep to death then you should just buy a gen and save yourself the headaches.

     

    the previous threads indicate the differnece between v3 to v4. v5 not mentioned it them. thats it.

  4. HI.

     

    I need to decide quickly..

     

    I want to my tc sub the best bracelet combination available currently.

     

    I heard tc about to release a new version of bracelet, v5.

    From what I heard from members- In V5 it fixed the folding flaw of v3 n v4.  (maybe there are another improvements in v5, I don’t know.)
    However, the sel is still not as perfect as v3.
    and clasp not as great as v4

     

    I asked personally some members but I also share my dilemma and hear more opinions.

     

    Which combination will be the best for me?  V3/v4, v4/v5?

    Now I have v4 that I got with my watch.  As well I can the ability to get tc bracelet v3, v5.

    Keep in mind im looking for combination in terms of "closet to gen" the bracelet It should looks and feel as close to gen.. these the parameters I considering when i do my choice.

     

    do you think better sel fit more important and meaningful than the fixed folding flaw or the opposite?

     

    I need to compromise here coz there isn’t a perfect bracelet as some member told me.

     

    debating...

     

    Thanks

  6. v3 and v4, the sel part and first link can't be folded like gen. V5 can.

    There are review of it, search buddy

    tc never mention it but its new version.

    Also on v6, crown and bezel teeth is new version.

    but I guess he is too busy to post. Lol

     

    i placed an order of my tc sub v6 2 months ago and got it a month ago.

     

    guess my sub not including the new version of crown and bezel teeth, right?

  7. tc v3 bracelet and tc v4 clasp are the best combination.

    yes but on the other hand "watcher" say in v5 fixed the folding flaw of v3 n v4. 

    the question is which combination most match for me if i find the bracelet most close to gen?

     

    however, what about v5 links/v4 clasp and replace the sel in v5 to better one?

     

    Thanks

    Jack

  8. The v5 does not look to address the sel that was nearly so good on the v3. The centre section still looks chunky and too long so it doesnt nestle inside the lugs well enough although this maybe a case issue and where the lug holes are located.

     

    thanks for tips. 

    maybe you could help me to decide which bracelet combination is the best for me. 

    I have now v4. I have the option buy v3 and put the clasp of v4 in v3, or wait to v5 and buy it. 

    Which combination will be the best considering most quality and closet to gen?

     

    Thanks

    Jack
