indywatchguy Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Its the current TC LV insert mate. His V2 is not yet finished, and I have been told Thomas will update his blog on this when ready. Whats your take on the quality of the current insert? Some say it's pretty good.

SSTEEL Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 No connection to seller but greenhttp://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=306558 Thanks Whats your take on the quality of the current insert? Some say it's pretty good. Sadly I don't know, the TC insert I was getting, the deal has fell through due to the seller having personal problems, so I'm on the hunt again.

SSTEEL Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) SSteel what is the lume like on yours? i just received my watch from TC but the lume looks a tad messy. Sorry about the loss of photos, I accidentally deleted a sub-filder in photobucket yesterday which contained all my watch related photos The lume looked pretty good. Here's a back up photo of it... I will get a clearer shot when I get time, and also try a photo with the loupe too. Edited August 5, 2013 by SSTEEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indywatchguy Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Steel probably sounds like a NOOB question but are the included spring bars just extras???? I've got mine as well and haven't figured out a use for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Steel probably sounds like a NOOB question but are the included spring bars just extras???? I've got mine as well and haven't figured out a use for them Yes, I got two pairs, one were already fitted with the bracelet, the two in the small packet are supposed to be slightly thicker, which in turn, when fitted, ensures the SEL fitment is nice and tight should it been loose with the fitted ones. Give me a minute, and I will upload a photo showing the size difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Here are the two sets of spring bars that come with the TC Sub. Left (were fitted in the SEL when arrived) Right (were in small zip bag, and are slightly fatter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thanks STEEL!!!! Hmmmm now the question is should I change them???? What did you do? The spring-bars included in mine worked perfectly. So you keep the originals on? How can you tell if they work perfectly? Are the smaller ones sometimes a bit loose? I am glad You have asked that Indy! I would like to know too. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the bracelet fitted at the moment as I plan on doing another comparison of SEL's between the TC and Trusty bracelets. I guess I could include in that a trial fitting with the fatter bars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 The fat 2mm springbars are gen spec and should be used with these watches. He included the small ones in case the bracelet is used for non gen spec subs. There are people out there who say the smaller springbars in general, will wear out-and elongate the lugholes in watches. I definitely would use the larger 2mm bars with your TC watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
