jtiis Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 For example, got this in on Thursday, installed a gen insert and crystal... and yes... this thing is sick! Eager for his brother 16610 V.5 to arrive... p.s. pardon the crap on the crystal... p.s.2 - clasp coronet - wicked good p.s.3 - wow, the bezel to case fit is killer p.s.4 - didn't "push it" but passed a 5ATM pressure and vaccuum test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtiis Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 van_damme1988 - def go for it. A little patience is required but worth it... and, TC (sadly) won't be doing this forever so, strike while the iron... (in fact, as I know he is only making a few more 16610s and 'twill be done... and is done with LVs as he can't get more dials (if I understood him correctly). woof* - thanks. Good to have a TC back in the fold. Sold my last Franken and then... you know... started to whimper like a child... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseguy1481 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Very nice... I got mine about a week ago. Yes, if you dont have a TC... GET ONE!! I own two of them and now with the supply drying up I will not be selling these babies off. Time to start making these superfrankens and putting gen movts. in them.

woof* Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have had mine for about a year, and it still put's a smile on my face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I love mine, but will love it better when I find another Gen LV insert. So far the two I had found have been sold to someone else offering more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machete Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Looks really good guys, I already got in touch with Thomas for 1. I am now considered worthy (with 3 total feedbacks on a watch forum) How's the lume on the watch, does the glow last long? Don't think I need to send it for lume mod, as I have heard it's really really good out of the box? - and just get a gen insert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 very NICE! hope TC makes some NO DATE 16610 dials for these cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergio789 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Does it not come with 'rolex' o rehaut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Does it not come with 'rolex' o rehaut? They come both ways, you need to talk to TC and see what his current offerings are. Many of us are more into vintage and like the plain rehaut. I wish he'd offer lugholes, 5513 and 1680 case sets and good vintage bracelets. Thomas gets the best parts and each project he takes on, he tries for perfection. We are lucky he came along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattt74 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have one by 1 year and really, really love it, it's the only rep that feels like gen on the wirst. V3 93250 with V2 clasp, gen insert (or supposed to be, I bought as gen by a guy on rolexforum). Had it on all summer long, even when swimming at sea, zero problem. Only very little thing that disappoint me I find that dial lume is a little too "green" after just a few seconds exposed to the light, especially if compared with the gen insert that's always white as milk. Someone else has opinions about this with his TC Sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseguy1481 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Anyone heard what TC's plans are once his supply runs out?? Is he going to be out of the game or is he looking for other vendors/suppliers to keep the dream alive?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
