woof* Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Isn't that V3 with the corrected space between the SWISS MADE? That's what I thought. I'm at work, just got the package and I don't have v2 here to compare. I doubt he swapped clasps. The sels fit. Swiss Made is two words, as its supposed to be...I'm thinking it's v3.

w.genzo Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Clasp is definitely a v3, swiss made space and different clasp code, PJ4 vs DE6 of v2. TC says 9 out of 10 need to be trimmed, maybe yours are the other 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) That could be interesing! Seems rare to fit without trimming. My gen insert went in but would not rotate! I have just paid TC for a case set and V3 bracelet as I have a WM9 V3 LV here waiting to swap over into a better case and this new tight fitting bracelet. He warned me about the problem before posting on his blog but it does not bother me too much if just the lower part needs a little trimming as long as it sits flush and tight on the topside! Here is a pic of my TC with V2 sel. Yours look much better. Shorter and way better fit to the lugs bearing in mind that photos always highlight more than the naked eye Edited July 13, 2012 by watcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 According to the other thread, Clark's sub bezel set fits the TC sub and a gen insert snaps right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I read that and it sounds interesting. Hopefully some real life pics will appear of the clarks bezel soon. The bezel really let's the tc model down. My pic has a gen bezel assembly. The wm9 v3 I have does have a good bezel with nice teeth so I may swap it over to the new case. The deep recess on the crown bothers me on my v3 otherwise I would just add new bracelet. Looking forward to your new pics with insert Woof!

mastersdom Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Also the sound of the bezel rotating gives the game away. It isn't quite right. Perhaps the tension in the Rolex spring is different, or the notches are sharper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I emailed Clark earlier today. He doesn't show the sub bezel set for sale. The Clark is around 50$, Phong is 350$ and I know where I can get a gen full bezel set including insert for 450$. Decisions.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyrta Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) What's wrong with TC's bezel? I thought that this watch only needed a gen insert and maybe a gen crystal.

I trimmed my NOS insert which you can see in the pics. It looks perfect and needed very little removing. I won't be changing the bezel.

RBT1680 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 has any one heard back from TC about the 3 bracelet special? I emailed him saying I was interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Major disappoint for me I raced home from work.. pilfered through stuff and grabbed the insert box. The gen insert I had stashed... is either a SeaDweller or 14060 insert and too small. grrrrrr! Had I known this ahead of time I would have made sure I had one here when this watch arrived. I don't even have a rep 16610 insert..if I had one of those I could temporarily add a wm pearl and hold myself over till a gen gets here. lol Anyone in Dallas have a nice 16610 genuine insert they can sell this weekend? By the way I checked the bracelet against my V2's...V3 is whole level better! it's really nice, even the screw heads and ends are nice. I can definately see this manufacturer making gen bracelets for gen watches. The quality is very good. I hope one day we can steer TC into vintage Rolex. He could probably source cases and bracelets we would die for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 masterdom post a pic of the coronet on the clasp.......from what i see you have a v3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have V3 janeto, I just checked and I have the two word "Swiss Made" and code "Pj4", just the the one in TC's opening post of this thread. Also my sel fit is different, in fact when I got home and messing with the new watch..one side of the bracelet pulled free..the sel's springbar wasn't fully seated. I played around with it and finally got it locked in. It's an incredibly close fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 you have to push the springbar into the springbar hole with a thin jewellers screwdriver toget the SEL on the V3 to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
