coolchu001 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Looks really good to me. How about installing the gen Insert? Was it a straight fit? It looks like it must grind on the upper side to sit recessed on the bezel. By the way the bezel looks like the TW and WM9. The gen insert takes quite a bit of force to snap in. I followed these instructions: http://www.vikbobil.se/bezel.html Instead of a table, I used a die from a crystal press. its sure the same fabric that did the WM9s or TWs - i don't understand why no other dealer offers them ? i find TCs prices too high vs the absence of communication - at least the prices i got (600 for the parts) - sadly Prec Time is not around any more - he sold the watches as PT Supreme for around 350 Euro? cheers, Frank I believe if you buy the complete watch, TC will give you a final price. Mine was $500 shipped in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

correctime Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Watch ebay daily, I bought a like new 16610 gen insert for 55$ shipped a couple months ago. Awesome...but you "do" know you basically got a "steal" on that yes...? Pointed 4 or Flat 4 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I just got comfirmation from TC, when he changed my order from the M-case to the V-case he also changed the movement from small eta to the 2824 eta.. So i dont know if thats good or bad. I use to have some mw9 v2 watches with the small eta and the movement was always top noch i loved that movement!

jmb Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Excessive email and PMs will demoralize and kill a small shop, but fanboys will never learn. Yes, unless TC is really a dealer (or plans on becoming one) this is a sure-fire way for folks to totally burn him out! After a few months he may never want to even hear the word "rep" for the rest of his life!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks for taking the time to do complete the review. it looks nice but a gen insert is a must...that stock pearl is hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danza1812 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well this is a great review, its inspired me to put my franken UPO on hold a little while now. Instead ive sourced a gen crystal and bezel insert and am patiently awaiting a reply from TC! Does TC provide a gasket that will accept gen crystal or should i get one from cousins to be sure.

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Looking forward to those pics! Any mods? There in NO need to mod this watch! Onely think i will change in the future is a new insert with better pearl! For example the crown gards dont need any work, crown + tube are the best rep ones i have ever hade on a watch so smoth (realy a gen feel), bracelet is very good and the claps is amazing i thought it was gen at first! Hole watch is amazing! Much better then the wm9 v2 im used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tagman26 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Considering a purchase one soon. My TW Sub is so sweet but this seems to be the ultimate sub. Between this sub or PAM 111, I'll be purchasing soon. Edited June 2, 2012 by Tagman26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justicepool Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Is a TC Submariner still available? I cannot seem to locate his contact info. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG31417 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Re: Justicepool (1) http://www.rwg.cc/forum/280-tc-submariner/ OR http://blog.tc-sub.com/ (2) I believe that the TC V-series (ver 4) which was reviewed on this post is no longer available, but you can contact TC for info. (3) Once a while, I've seen TC subs are being offered (by forum members) on the RWG sales section. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
