d4v1d Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Hi all, Got my TC Sub yesterday. It's great but the magnifying window is not spectacular... It kinda reads hard and it's not very clear. Gen cyclops is much crispier. TC uses Clarks right? So no AR? I'm looking for a gen crystal with the coronet at 6. Really have no idea for how much these go. Has anyone one for sale or do you know where to get one? Thanks!

mymanmatt Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I don't know if the crystal on your tc watch has a retainer, or if it presses into the case. I have crystals with the lec and I use gen cyclops on my datejust. Im not sure if it would be too much mag on your sub if it uses a retainer, sub gaskets are taller than datejust. If it is a press in, it should work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 TC sub is 1:1 and uses the same set up as gen. Your best bet is go get a gen xstal. Expect to pay 60.00-300.00 depending on LEC, AR or lack of such features. Also note that the date window on most rep dials tend to be smaller so your date mag may be correct but the date window may be smaller.

TC date window on his dial should be spot on, this is not an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVojlib Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 He has his own custom crystal not the clarks, and the overmag is due to the gasket he is using. I swapped my TC LV crystal with a GEN and it looks great now with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I've got a gen crystal on my TC, and it is indeed a great mod. I didn't think it was worthwhile on what was supposed to be a cost-effective franken, but it definitely was. I'd do it again. The AR cyclops is a must have.

Gngn Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks! Can someone please upload a picture from his TC + gen xtal? This may help - For LVs: gen xtal (on a BK TW with gen insert): rep xtal (on a TC type 2 with wm9 insert): For LNs (same watch in both pics, wm9 v2): gen xtal: rep xtal: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
