OhOhOne Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hello everyone. I just got my TC V3 yesterday, to replace the V2 on my TC Sub, and a few things jumped out at me right away. First, as mentioned elsewhere, the coronet on the clasp is a bit different, not sure if it is more "gen" like or not, as there seems to be some variation (as usual) among the pictures of gen clasps that I am able to find on the web. The stamping definitely seems a bit shallow on the bottom of the coronet. Also, the 2 lines engraved on the flip-lock are different, more narrow and less deep than the V2. Finally, the curled-up "lip" (for lack of a better word) on the clasp on the flip-lock end is slightly different, it seems higher. I'm not sure what to make of these differences. Any thoughts, anyone? As I said above, I've been searching the Internet for pictures of gen clasps and can't decide whether these differences matter one way or the other. There seems to so much variation, even some of the gen coronets appear more shallow towards the bottom. I'm toying with the idea of trying to use the outer part of the clasp (with the coronet stamping) and the flip-lock from the V2 on the V3, but haven't decided. As others have noted, aside from the above the overall quality of the V3 is definitely a step up from the V2. The 2mm spring bars wouldn't seat properly, but the problem was solved by using the 1.8mm. The SEL fit is excellent. oo1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'd definitely love to build a nice 14060 using his case as a base. E Btw, the fit of the 93160a is excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I hate to thread crap, but wasn't there a post with an issue of the 16600 dial not fitting the SSD v2 case? I'm considering buying this dial for a quick fix, but cannot find the post for the life of me. I have tried ALL forums. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 SSD w TC SD bracelet Woof, very nice fit indeed. That is not the stock crystal, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 @ Daniel: yes it's stock, as far as I know... aside of gluing something in there..we are stuck with stock. @ Ephry: TC's Seadweller dial needs about a .5mm trimmed off it to fit, several have done it with great results. I have the dial and hands..waiting to get it installed. Discussion on this mod over at RWI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Woof, You that man! Thanks brother. BTW, to install the gen clasp spring bar, the adjustment holes need to be expanded just so in order for the dimpled "nipple" to show through correctly. Other than that AWESOME bracelet.

Ephry73 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Let me rephrase, the gen springbar that I sourced separately from the TC bracelet (I purchased a gen diver extension with plans to build a nice "franken" SSD almost ten months ago) and upon receiving my bracelet and 16610 dial and hands(separate project) I decided to mount it all up. I will post pictures and such on a separate thread. The clasp just needs to be drilled/opened up for the nipple to pop through. So if using a gen springbar for a seadweller clasp, make sure to do this for a better fit and easier installation(was a female dog to installed without this) E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ahh I get it. I just bought a gen SD extension with the black screw to try. I won't have it for a couple weeks though, Theres a thread on RWI, rsh showed a pic of the TC SD dial he mounted on a drill and spun to remove a tiny bit off the outer dial. Look forward to seeing your pics ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 The black screw is the key there. The TC spring bar for the clasp fits very well against the gen extension, however, no dimples. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastersdom Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Just got 3 more bracelets and sorry to say one fell apart almost instantly in two places (each end of the folding part of the clasp). Have now fixed (hopefully) by pressing the pins back into the tubes after a good licking of heavy duty thread locker. Just something to check when you get yours as I could have lost the watch. Other than that, another fab purchase from TC. Where can I get similar quality but with a case with holes in? anybody know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
