danza1812 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 TC posted a comparison review on his blog between his TC sub and a gen late Y series Sub without lug holes. This gen sub was the inspiration for my Franken TC build which I built using these gen images as reference. My watch has v3 bracelet, gen dial, gen crystal and gen insert. I have now taken a few photos of my watch to compare with the images of the gen from TCs blog. Any glaring observations? Gen Rep Gen Rep Gen Rep Gen Rep Gen Rep I know the photos aren't great but you get the idea. Hope you like it.
irolexu Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 The only thing glaring at me is the crystal height.
danza1812 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah it does appear quite high on my photos but in comparison to decent shots of gens it looks ok in the flesh. It's a gen crystal and gasket and insert so should be about right?
Valty Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Me it's the bezel - it looks sharper on the gen :-) Great watches BTW !!!
panerai153 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Very,very nice build. One thing that is impossible to change is the color of the steel. If you put your rep and a gen side by side in direct sunlight, you can see the difference. I doubt that anyone outside of a real Rolex WIS would ever be able to tell the difference since most folks aren't going to be wearing their rep and a gen on the same arm at the same time!!
By-Tor Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Steel color difference is really insignificant, as this link proves.
Ephry73 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 I do have to say, the TC bracelets have that satin sheen that looks so delicious.
klocklind1 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Very nice sub indeed:) One thing that can be noted is that the CG is shaved a little to much ( on the YC sub) and most of the genuine has thicker CG than the TC sub but still it is the best ther is for the moment:)
danza1812 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Posted October 31, 2012 The only thing glaring at me is the crystal height. Not sure if its the size of the images, I've zoomed in to crop to scale and to me the crystal height looks pretty close Gen on top.
