  1. I think they probably would if I brought it in with a Nato or leather strap and probably try to sell me a gen bracelet.. I was an amateur at that time and living in NYC, heard about RSC and went for it. When they gave me the watch, they took the band off and hand me the 5513 separately with the rep band... Insert probably was not replaced since the pearl shows aged and old. The dial is already spider, what does this spider dial mean? Is it just a "flaw" of the gen 5513 dials where the paint cracks which makes them unique? The pearl, indices and hand do not glow at all, they dont hold charge anymore..I will get a gen 93150 with 580 endlinks eventually, I love this watch.. Looks iconic classic with the no date.. Thanks! One thing I noticed on here is there's lots of members with the vintage expert and knowledge.. It's great to be here and learn from you guys..
  2. Just got it back from Mike, my mistake on the 6mil, its a 1.2mil serial actually.. Thanks for the input.. I'm gonna put a nato and leather strap on it for now. Now that I am more informed, I will not do any other mods on it.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  4. Sent you pm. What is a good 93150 strap and endlinks that fit the gen 5513 case? I know gen is the way to go and on the bay it pops up frequently. Any other good alternative rather than a used gen?
  5. Hey everyone, a new member here, just wanna share and contribute. These are 2 TC Subs I recently acquired. The TC 16610LN is from rsh from another forum, a great guy and a true gentleman. This is the earlier version case with the lug engravings. TC Movement, KH Dial, V3/V4 strap clasp combo with the sel engravings as well, gen crystal, gen crown, and brand new gen insert. I love this watch, looks great and it has been broken in so it is very comfortable to wear. TC LV 2014 that I just received from TC 5 weeks ago, this is as is. No mods yet. I am wanting a gen LV insert, I do not have a gen LV insert to compare, but for you guys who have gen, is there a noticeable difference between TC LV insert and the gen? Some guy wants $550 for a brand new gen insert. Was wondering if you guys would buy it for that price? A member who is local from NY recommended misiekped aka Mike for modding and is highly recommended by him. So I head over this forum and signed up. So far I really like it here, it is more laid back lol I met Mike last Sunday for coffee, we talked about watches, life and whatnot. All I can say is what a great guy. I have 3 watches with him right now. Just got a text from him last night that all 3 are ready for pick up. Here is a gen 5513 that my father gave me. The bridge jewel has cracked in the middle making the rotor wobble and crack on the sides. Mike replaced both parts for me, together with a gen service crystal. I brought this watch to rsc ny about 4 years ago and it had a rep bracelet on, didn't know anything about it before, rsc handed it back to me and said they could not service it because it had a rep bracelet.. For the experts here, what can you tell me you see on this watch? It has a 6mil serial, and according to Bob Ridley, the hands and dial does not match and also the dial has been changed to a modern one. He wanted an arm and a leg to service this watch so I had him sent it back to me. This was all when I didn't know anything about reps. This also has a 1520 movement. Thanks for looking guys and I hope I can build some good relationship and friendship on this great community!
  6. Great watch. Do you need to source all the gen parts in order to build one like this?
  7. Hey guys, first time here. Since reading about all the reps, I cant stop looking at the forums lol anyway, went ahead and got a tc sub and a noob 111. I'm considering my next one would be a 390. Which one is better out there? Noob or kw? I've read tons of reviews from them and also from Ale's guide. But there is no definitive answer to which one of the 2 makers is closest to gen.
  8. Hi, I am a new member, sorry if I offer no help from you, as I am reading your post, what do you mean by TD and TT? is is Two Tone?
