Usually I would post this in the WTB section, but I'm still on the fence of buying my very first Rolex. A TC Sub that is. And I would like to do a little research, prior buying, on how hard it is to get hold of a gen LN insert.
So could you guys tell me how hard it is to get hold of new/unused gen LN insert? Or PM me if you have one…
Thanks!
Gen LN inserts pop up quite often, there are a few on the Bay at the minute.
NOS inserts are harder to come by but there are plenty of used ones in very good to excellent condition out there at very reasonable prices
You could also try TRF but obviously dont mention that its for a replica !!

I have the same one without the cyclops. I never bought a tc watch before. Can you guys tell me why there isnt any ingraving inside the lugs?
This is only my opinion and I am sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in with the facts but....
I believe the previous TC Submariners all had engraving between the lugs no doubt because this was built to be a very high end replica of a 16610, however, the TC / Cadell Submariners are 'fantasy' models that TC has designed / produced himself, they are in no way built to replicate a current Rolex model therefore I see no point in the engraving between the lugs ??
As I say this is only my opinion though

Absolutely gorgeous
Another stunning build - congratulations

Congratulation for this nice sub.
I'm about to think to buy a gen 16610 or 16600. My only problem is, as I know me I will wear it every day and then the first shock against a door or a desk will make me have a heart attack. Lol
Enjoy it and congrats again
Cheers

Luckily for me i'm an office bod so the worst I should get is a few desk diving marks
However that said, i'm hoping that a divers watch built to such high standards should be capable of taking a few 'knocks' - not that I ever want this to happen.
Also I have insured it so am covered against certain accidental damages

Thanks Guys

I have a gen 16610 "SWISS" only dial that may be available if you are interested PM me

Thanks Alli - quite a few different models around that time, i'm glad I got the lugholes !!
There was no paperwork however the guy I purchased it from was of the opinion that it had been serviced in the last few years, It does wind smooth and runs within COSC ATM so will hold off on a service for a little.
I will plan for one in the not to far distant future
-
Thanks for all the great comments guys (if I needed any confirmation that I'd done the right thing then I am sure I have now!!)
@ aeromatic - I have to agree, there is something that doesnt sit quite right with the ceramics, these have more character.
@ alligoat & StormTooper - I am a bit in love with the lug holes
Its as complete as it gets, the package was awesome (original box, papers, manuals, bezel protector, anchor & tags)
-
Lovely - I really do like the red second hand however a Sub without a cyclops just doesnt do it for me.
New dial looks pretty good too!

Thanks Mike

Gen Y series 16610 Submariner ... brought from a delaer on TRF
I just couldnt fight the urge of a gen so I gave in
-
sooooooo chuffed
-
Got my new addition on today......(and for the forseeable future )
-
Unfortunately the outcome was not a positive one, I couldnt find any dealer that had such items available
-
Great Video - thanks for sharing.
I think a bit of the green eyed monster came out of me watching that....jealous
-
congrats!
-
Thanks Pete, will give them a try
-
Been wanting one of these for ages now but just cant justify the price for an occasional weekend bag;

Thanks for your comment, I think I have managed to locate at least one seller of the 42mm PO rubber strap, possibly 2 just waiting on confirmation on which style they are.
Cheers

Guys,
Is there a rep rubber strap for the 42mm ceramic PO ?? I have had a look at some of TDs and can only see one for the 45mm PO.
Fancy a bit of a change and quite like the idea of a rubber strap for a while
Cheers

-
They look very nice and have good reviews from what I have read, reasonably priced too!

Just to update you guys my package of parts arrived from Mike yesterday so it looks as though he is slowly working through his backlog and getting people their watches / parts
