HauteHippie Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Ya the V3 TC bracelet is silly good for $40 or $50 or whatever it was. The clasp though.... leaves a bit to be desired. I may just order a factory fresh gen 93250 down the road. But the idea here was to put together a relatively low cost beater franken with a fairly high degree of accuracy, so a gen bracelet at this point kind of crosses the intended cost threshold. I'm only in to this thing for about $1300 right now I think. Finding a used gen under $5k in good shape is almost undoable now, so I don't think I've gone overboard just yet. EDIT: Upon double-checking 93250 prices these days, I think I'll scrap that idea. The TC V3 is just fine! I spent less for a factory fresh Daytona bracelet for my 16520!

panerai153 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Absolutely insame how expensive Rolex bracelets have become. Totally out the roof for a basically mass produced item. It certainly doesn't take a watchmakers skills to assemble a bracelet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a gen 93250 is slightly too small in width to fit a TC case, that one of the primary reasons I went a Sean case. The lugs on the TC do look amazing though!

cougar1 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Fantastic watch chief. Anyone else experience this or am I imagining things: the tc bezel teeth cut on both tc bezels I am looking at here is uneven...very very slightly, i guess it's down to factory variances, but about half way around both bezels they are nice and deep, and the other half not cut as strongly. It is very subtle and only reallly noticeable when looking very closely or via a loupe...which is not worth doing imo. I don't care about something like this in terms of vs gen, but just wonder if anyone noticed the same thing? Sorry I know this has nothing to do with chiefs sub, but just an observation with mine?

HauteHippie Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 The bezel teeth are even as far as I can tell. The pic tends to distort things a bit I do think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
