  2. Availability Gen LN inserts?

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

     

    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 !! :nono:

  3. Introducing TC/Caddell Submariners

    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

    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 :pray:

     

    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 :thumbs:

    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 :thumbs:

    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 :in_love:

     

    Its as complete as it gets, the package was awesome (original box, papers, manuals, bezel protector, anchor & tags)
