milesd Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Looks great. I keep going back and forth on this watch. I'd like a modern sub, but not sure if this is it or not. Does this have his V3 bracelet?
PilotI Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Posted July 24, 2012 Not a gen crystal but one from BC. the mods are: TC SUB 1. TC V series Sub as mid case (no rehaut engraving and gen crown position 2. Aligned the 6 and 9 indices on dial. 3. V2 Bracelet SEL fit 4. BC Crystal I'm planning to put in a V2 Datewheel and maybe the V3 bracelet and do something about the pearl.
w.genzo Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Nice one. It definitely deserves a better pearl and a V3 bracelet, but TC's it's the best LV version at the moment. Crystal looks very good, but I still don't understand why investing big bucks in a AR crystal which is incorrect for this serial instead of using money for other stuff like gen insert/crown/bezel,dwo..

I like the AR, makes reading the date so much easier. Let's say this is a 2010 random series LV What would you recommend todo with the pearl? Edited July 24, 2012 by PilotI
mastersdom Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Just waiting on mine. Where can I get a BC crystal? Yours looks brilliant.
bwhitesox Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 swap a gen pearl from a black insert? Good idea cause the colour of the green insert actually looks pretty good.
lja1821 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 Great looking watch..mine is on the way unfortunately no stock so have to wait!
GBOGH Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 Looks great! I have a similar custom built LV sans insert from TC, but turned off by the gen LV insert prices ($450-600 range), and the aftermarket LV inserts are mostly crap, so I'm not sure what I plan to do yet. I may pop in a SS colored insert and see how it looks, kind of like this early Tudor model that was once available.
Muaitai Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 Does anyone have TC's email address? Look for info here http://tc-submariner.blogspot.com/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
PilotI Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Posted October 2, 2012 Just a quick update my sub is making slow but steady progress. I've ordered the new V3 bracelet and V2 DWO from TC. I also managed to install a gen pearl in the TC LV bezel. it looks very nice altough the photo does not do justice at all:
