......as it happens, I do have a project planned, but it'll be a job for my watchmaker once I gather all the parts together. I'll post up a new thread before I start as I want opinions on a couple of things.

You're probably right. I was just wary as I didn't know how thick the insert would be and with it being ceramic, I didn't want to risk cracking, snapping, or otherwise breaking it. Anyway, with the bezel tool it only took a minute to remove the bezel.

Well, I seem to have managed it with destroying the watch. I bought a rubber/plastic bezel remover from CousinsUK. It's a simple bit of kit and being softer than the steel watch, it doesn't damage it when it slips off. So, I'll let the pictures do the talking. Bezel removed. Click spring removed (care needs to be taken so as bit to damage the locating pin) Locating hole for click spring. Using a (slightly) sharp knife I worked it between the bezel and the insert. Insert slowly coming away. And..... Finally, I refitted the click spring and bezel, then the insert and it now looks like this. Quite pleased with myself as I usually work on much larger projects - like ships!

Hmmmm may give that a go too, after all how hard can it be....... ...... Famous last words! And for my next thread, "where can I get a new bezel" lol Many thanks all

If it's your grail and it's priced accordingly then buy now. My guess is that these will increase in value over the next few years.

No, sounds strange though. I guess it's not a scam if they are actually limiting your account.

Okay, I'll try and get a fine blade between the bezel and insert if not then its off to the watchmaker.

Hi folks, I'm sure this has been asked before, but my search doesn't find it, so don't flame me for asking again. I've a 50th Aniversary Bond Seamaster bought M2M and the bezel insert is misaligned, I guess a photo says a thousand words, so......... What's the best (easiest) way to correct this? I've tried heating it with the wife's hair drier but to no effect. Thanks

Posting up a photo is likely to get a response from people as they can see the damage. Good luck.

HAHAHAHAHA !!! Maybe. Shall we try again?

Here you go. http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=221157 All you'd need is to pop in the insert.

Just arrived with me today and it's very lovely indeed. Just one quick pic until later when I'll try and take some better pics and even post it up with my Caddell sub V3. In the meantime.....

You're just teasing us now.

No, not yet, I'm still waiting!!!!!

Superb collection.

Good enough to eat, and I'm hungry!

Yep, it's worth the wait. TC told me 10 days ago it's on route so it should be just about here!

Grrrrr all this talk of TC subs and I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered! I ordered it in October and was told 5-6 weeks! I guess it may even be next year now

Well, just heard from TC and apparently it's in it way to the UK, so fingers crossed it'll be here for Christmas

Yeah, I know! The last time I asked a question he came back the next day, but I guess I was lucky.

I emailed him a few weeks ago about something else and be he mentioned that it was on his build list for the next week. Then oddly enough I asked him yesterday about a LV insert but have not had a reply as of yet.

Not a bad idea fraggle, I just don't want to hassle TC, but maybe it's time.

Hmmmmm, well, I'll have to wait and see.........

Hi Mike, I'm hoping yours was the previous shipment - when did yours arrive BTW?

Has anyone had delivery of their TC rouge yet? The wait is near killing me! I ordered mine at the end of October and I last heard from TC near the end of November that he would be working on it the following week with delivery to the UK to follow.
