TC YM Unpacking photos

Went to pick up the post from work today and one little package made me very happy:-

Couldn't wait to get home and see what was inside - Christmas time!

 

 

Opening the outer plastic postal envelope revealed two TC 2824 movements:-

And a cardboard box:-

A very clever little box, specially made to hold a watch shaped object with reinforcing cardboard square in the middle:-

The box contained an airtight, sealed, foil pack:-

Opening that revealed a bubble wrapped (again, heat seam sealed) foam package:-

Opening that allowed me to get my first glance of the YM!

Everything plastic coated, the watch mounted onto both halves of the bracelet with the clasp in a separate envelope (of course, in its own foam sandwich)

Lastly a quick wristie (apologies for the poor photo quality)

Love it, crown and tube thread is lovely, winding is lovely, date change is instant, bracelet and clasp are lovely. The hinge in the middle of the two parts of the clasp is a bit stiff but isn't any bother at all.

 

Putting the clasp on is just a matter of one link screw and one pin.

 

Something tells me this'll be a wearer for quite a while to come!

That's a very nice watch Richard, I'm envious :-)

I've actually been considering the YM for a while now and your pictures are making me want it even more!

Enjoy my friend.

Do it Ben! I was worried it might wear a bit small but on the wrist it's lovely.

And it's so damn thin! I have absolutely NO idea how they've managed to cram a 2824 movement into there, when other watches are half as thick again to accomplish the same thing.

My only concern now is that since I know I'll be wearing it non stop for ages, I'm going to have to be extra careful and not mark it or knock it at all! :D

Thank you Thomas, it's excellent!

Fantastic packing for sure and looks really great. The YM is 40 or 42mm? and could you share who the TD was please?

I think it's 42mm, it certainly doesn't wear as small as a 40mm watch.

Not from a TD, it's from TC (Thomas), he's a member here.

Current price is $485 IIRC with a TC 2824.

Very nice fraggle wear in good health, I do not know had one the super dupper model at the time just did not work for me. They do come in other dial colors which I like but alas TC just doing this one to my knowledge.

Oh I have no intention of only having one rep!

 

This is very, very nice but it'll live alongside the other 20 or so reps I have.

 

It's just nice having something that I don't get that itch in the back of my mind to upgrade the lume / dial / crystal / AR / movement.... :)
