wiseguy1481 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Posted March 16, 2013 Just wanted to say hi to everyone over in the Rolex club... I am officially an owner of a TC sub with gen insert and I love it!!! I cant wait to get my next one now as I cannot take this one off of my wrist and need a back up to swap out from day to day so this one does not get worn out too fast.
chibiunko Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 Beautiful. Now you need to source a gen LV green insert to be accurate. Wear it well.
correctime Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 Congradulations Brother. That looks awesome
Erict719 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 Does tc only have LV version to sell now? Why is everyone using maxi dial with black insert? 2
SSTEEL Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 TC only has the LV II left until the TC TT comes up. The preorders for the Type 1 LV is upcoming soon too. Lots of excited people waiting for that one.
psychospike Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 That looks awesome .. Enjoy the watch ....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ticktickboom Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 Stunning piece, which movement did you get, one of TCs 2824-2s or did you manage to get one of the last ETAs? @ Erict719 I think you will find alot of Gen LV owners are swopping out their green inserts for black, maybe for keepsafe for the green bezel or maybe just for variety, but its quite common in Genland it seems. Also for buying the Gen insert the LV is twice as expensive. @SSTEEL Regarding the pre-order. Do you know if this will be as the same batch of LVs as before i.e same LV insert? Just wondering because TC is still working on the perfect insert right? or has this come to fruition? The TT bracelets are gonna be sharp. Cant wait to get mine, have a Gen LV insert to crack into the badboy!
Erict719 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 Tc type 1 preorder?? I thought type 1 is the older one with the insert.. Ir did he got the new insert finish and type 1 is release again?? I can't wait for the tt !!! I wish they make the black tt .

Just wondering because TC is still working on the perfect insert right? or has this come to fruition? Yes, its the existing preorder, for the old TYPE1
wiseguy1481 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Posted March 17, 2013 @ tick, I got the Swiss 2836 option in my TC.

ticktickboom Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 The 50 pre order type I LV Subs have been and gone.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 that is very nice! i actually like it on the black insert better
mjmj Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Wow! That is a stunning Submariner. Wear it well
correctime Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 You've got a 2836-2 in a TC ?? That's interesting...I though he used the 2824-2 and SW200's for correct crown height.
spooky driver Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 anybody got any idea how to get this feckin gen insert on my TC? it will not fit!
woof* Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 anybody got any idea how to get this feckin gen insert on my TC? it will not fit! Spooky, TC uses a press, and if you go to his blog he has a well written article with pics on how he does it. Each of these watches seem to be mm's in difference, my gen insert snapped right in with serious finger pressure. Any more pressure than where I was at, and I would have used a press. If you have no press (cheap) you may want to try a watchmaker so you don't bend a gen insert.
spooky driver Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks Woof, just a update...i used my press, heard a loud crack, planked it, examined the watch.....insert on!! thank feck for that....wasn't keen on getting the black and decker sander out to mod it.
marrickvilleboy Posted September 11, 2013 Report Posted September 11, 2013 can someone pls enlighten me why there are so many Maxi dials with black inserts? hybrid between LV and LN? wtf?
van_damme1988 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 Some of us are addicted to maxi dials, but like it black Moreover LV inserts are twice as expensive and rare to find than LN inserts. There ale also many gen owners who decided to swap their LV inserts for LN. I do like LN version much more than LV but I like maxi dials as well. So it is only a matter of taste.
imajedi Posted September 12, 2013 Report Posted September 12, 2013 can someone pls enlighten me why there are so many Maxi dials with black inserts? hybrid between LV and LN? wtf? TC has been out of the LN dial and hands for a long time now. Consequently, your only choice was the maxi dial and hands. People that wanted a TC but weren't fond of the green had no choice but to get the Maxi dial and hands and use an LN insert.
ceocorona Posted September 14, 2013 Report Posted September 14, 2013 TC has been out of the LN dial and hands for a long time now. Consequently, your only choice was the maxi dial and hands. People that wanted a TC but weren't fond of the green had no choice but to get the Maxi dial and hands and use an LN insert. He does sell bundles of damaged LN dials you can piece together. While not an ideal option it's still one nonetheless. I'm a traditionalist and love the LN dial with the black insert.
dosports5 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, im new to this...Ive been trying to find the best clone to a 2007 submariner like the one i have. I have an interesting hobby like most of you. I am obsessed with watches. I have recently heard of the TC rolex and have been told how great of a quality it is. I am looking to purchase one. Is there someone here that can direct me to him, and help me out on the site i would love to become an active member here. I know a lot about authentic watches, but very little on anything else. I would love to start learning to build them and figured this is a good place to start. I would really like the most accurate watch out there. Positive feedback would be really helpful i see that is necessary on this site. Thanks guys. Edited September 14, 2013 by dosports5
wantnewwatches Posted September 14, 2013 Report Posted September 14, 2013 hi maybe stupid question, but by insert do you mean the ceramic bezel?
