Tribal Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Hello Gang, just to inform you, I received the two TC Bracelets today. So the bracelets are nice for the money. Like a Mix of Noob SEL's and WM9. The SEL's has a three piece construction , not bad at all. Shape is nice. Links are of good quality a bit sharp on the edges. The clasp is also nice and looks the same like WM9. Engravings are crisp and nice. I measured the SEL's and they are both 20mm. That's good. So the problem with the small gap is not the bracelet it's the case in most cases. On my WM9 the distance between the lugs is 20,45mm on one side, on the other it's 20,3mm Edited January 13, 2012 by Tribal 1
its_urabus Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 So awesome! Fast shipping too! Pics maybe? Thanks for posting
FxrAndy Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 That is a PITA finding that the problem all along with the SEL fitment was the cases!
Tribal Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Posted January 13, 2012 Will post Pics soon. But you can see them also in TC post
its_urabus Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 I need to get off my butt and order mine. My build is with vac and I really want to see how one of these looks on the Sean case!
the_rymeister Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 I'm looking forward to getting mine from tc. A true gent
Tribal Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Here are quick Pics. Thanks to TC for the fast service!!! Edited January 14, 2012 by Tribal
highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 not bad not bad, now would they please make a decent 93150
Tribal Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Posted January 14, 2012 Yes for 30 Bucks it's really good. I prefer a one piece construction of the SEL's but hey it's ok. Too bad the lugs are a bit wider on my WM9 Case
FxrAndy Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 TC if you read this please ask your contact about 93150s with 501 end links
chefcook Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Got my TC bracelet yesterday within just a few days. TC is really a pleasure to work with. The bracelet is most probably the nicest you'll find for that kind of money (and availability) but there still are better bracelets.
its_urabus Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Chef, how does it fit the Sean case?
Tribal Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Posted January 14, 2012 I'm interested to see Pics attached to the Sean Case.
chefcook Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Not that good. Needs some work to allow the use of 2mm spring bars on a sean case (spring bar position is different so that the spring bars cannot expand with a stock TC end link). It is not wide enough, too and leaves obvious gaps on all four lugs.
its_urabus Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Are you thinking that the position of the spring bar in the sel is different than the sean bracelet, or gen for that matter? and are you also saying that the sel is too narrow for space between the lugs, there for leaving a gap at all side? this is exactly what I was afraid of
chefcook Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Exactly that. The spring bar position is different, so the end link has to be reworked to fit a Sean case. But even then there still is the gap on both sides...
FxrAndy Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 is that the case being too wide or the end link not being wide enough?
chefcook Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 it is too dark here already for me to shoot pics were you'd see something but I'll make some tomorrow.
chefcook Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Here are some pics of the TC bracelet on a Sean case: Sean's bracelet still is better fitting the case even though it is not the best.
its_urabus Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 thanks for posting! the sean bracelet is nice, but I cant get over the back of the SEL being so wrong. is the TC bracelet less than 20mm or is the sean case more than 20mm?
Tribal Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Posted January 15, 2012 The TC Bracelet is 20mm on both SEL's!
its_urabus Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Thats not the news I was hoping for. Vac has my Sean build right now, I should ask him to measure between the lugs. I hate that the factories won't just do it right. We all know they can... Thanks for the info Tribal...
tc670207 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 TC if you read this please ask your contact about 93150s with 501 end links Andy, I asked my seller he doesn't have 93150 bracelet. He has 93250, 93253, 93160A, and 78760 and that's it. TC
