grifter Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Here is the V2 bracelet that TC has. I'm not going to say much except please excuse the cheese on the watch as I've worn it non stop since receiving it from BK and please excuse my funky fingers as I've been playing with air-dry clay and markers for hours with my kid and no matter how many times I wash them they won't seem to get clean.. Oh and the bracelet is pretty damn nice. Notes: * TC seems longer than the TW bracelet. I removed three links and micro adjusted one spot on the TW. I removed three links and had to micro adjust 2 spots on the TC for the same fit for my 7" wrist. * End links are tight to the case, but not tight enough. Macro pics don't help, but on the wrist it is not too shabby. * Engravings are crisp and nice. * Every screw was threaded nicely and screwed in and out perfectly. (Yes I tried every one of them) * Clasp is probably one of the nicest I've ever handled and the flip lock works smoothly just like on my gen bracelets. * Diver's extension works flawlessly by depressing the "o" and disengaging the hook. Otherwise it stays put. * Didn't I write I wasn't going to say much? Thanks for looking and hope this helps for those looking for a good 93250 with hollow links.

w.genzo Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Which is the SEL width? 20.13mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke1973 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 The end link numbers look good! The actually look stamped instead of laser engraved like the other reps. Usually those end link numbers look awful because they are laser etched and look burnt, like the laser was too hot during the etching process.

MacTavish Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Oh my...that's really a good pair of SELs! It seems that chefcook's project is not passed unobserved!! Just something not mentioned... how about sharp edges? Edited February 14, 2012 by MacTavish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 The end links still needs some work, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Can u please measure the Endlink diameter? Overall finish and shape look good to me. How about the price? Same as on V2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 this looks exactly like my wm9v2 bracelet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolchu001 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) this looks exactly like my wm9v2 bracelet What's the size of the end lugs? it is > 20mm? I got the V1 bracelet from TC and its exactly 20mm which is a bit too small for the BK TW case. found this info in TC's V2 review: "Now back to specs, width of TC 93250 V2 SEL is 20.13 mm. Length from lug to lug of TC Submariner Watchcase is 20.17 mm. There is still 0.04 mm gap in total, that is, 0.02 mm gap on each side. Gen's tolerance is only 0.01 mm in total, that is 0.005 mm on each side." Edited February 14, 2012 by coolchu001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 this looks exactly like my wm9v2 bracelet I don't think so.. TC v2 should be around 20.13 allowing a thighter fit. That's wm9v2. If TC bracelet is 20mm it means that the lughs are narrower but I doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifter Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'll measure in a bit and post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I think they need to make an endlink that is wider and we can adjust it by sanding the sides. That way we make sure that is a tight fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 my digital calipers which i calibrate again standard currency width say my wm9 bracelet (which was sold ot me as v3) are 20.20mm on average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifter Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) First I took my calipers and measured the inside lug width of BK's TW case. Then I measured the end links of TC's bracelet. Then just to be sure I measured it suspended by the calipers. My calipers were zero'd before each measurement. My calipers were reading the TW case lugs at 20.7 mm on both ends. My calipers were reading the end links of the TC V2 bracelet at 20.6 mm on both ends. My calipers suck and I need to invest in a nice one... Hope this helps. Edited February 14, 2012 by grifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonporsche Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Aren't the readings 20.06 and 20.07? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 mmmh.. in tc-93250-bracelet-v2 thread TC wrote: "Now back to specs, width of TC 93250 V2 SEL is 20.13 mm. Length from lug to lug of TC Submariner Watchcase is 20.17 mm" maybe there's a bit of tollerance or every batch of the same bracelet might have slightly different measures..

Going to buy new calipers and new glasses. brb wow if that's correct the tolerance is of a gen case and bracelet! from TC's V2 review "There is still 0.04 mm gap in total, that is, 0.02 mm gap on each side. Gen's tolerance is only 0.01 mm in total, that is 0.005 mm on each side." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Guys is the gap between lug and strap really noticable on the wrist? Only reason i ask is all the pictures were all looking at are close up macro shots, you will notice big differences this close ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
