AM_ Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Can anyone confirm if the second hand on the 25-295-C is really black or my eyes deceive me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Super !!!!! i like modding these days and it a nice addition to our vintage builds collection i am at the moment planning a couple of big crown builds that will be custom built not exact replica of the vintage ones, which will be powered by a more modern 2892-2 eta with red seconds hand and no ageing ! this opens up the way to build custom builds as well as replicating gen watches i would like to see a feature on custom building using replica and aftermarket parts ! Big Bravo !!!!

aeromatic Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Did u see this? http://rolexpassionreport.com/13265/the-heritage-submariner-big-crown-fusion-of-modern-and-vintage-for-60th-anniversary-of-the-iconic-steel-rolex-submariner/ Yes i did and without meaning to step on any purists toes ! I Flipping Love EM !!!!!!!!! and a added bonus is that there are not any gens for anyone to compare them with so you have a unique watch ,myself and my friend are looking into building something similar but we have problems finding no date dials that we like to fit in the ceramic reps cases !

Tonyyammine Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I have the same one without the cyclops. I never bought a tc watch before. Can you guys tell me why there isnt any ingraving inside the lugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem2192 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) I have the same one without the cyclops. I never bought a tc watch before. Can you guys tell me why there isnt any ingraving inside the lugs? This is only my opinion and I am sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in with the facts but.... I believe the previous TC Submariners all had engraving between the lugs no doubt because this was built to be a very high end replica of a 16610, however, the TC / Cadell Submariners are 'fantasy' models that TC has designed / produced himself, they are in no way built to replicate a current Rolex model therefore I see no point in the engraving between the lugs ?? As I say this is only my opinion though Edited November 1, 2013 by clem2192 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 clem, yup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yea but i paid 500 buxx for that thinking it was the subs he sells with the extra parts. If i knew that i wouldnt have paid that price for the watch as mice as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Ok it's my mistake on tc blog it does say that the watch engravings is off so I should have read that b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yea but i paid 500 buxx for that thinking it was the subs he sells with the extra parts. If i knew that i wouldnt have paid that price for the watch as mice as it is. I don't see any problem to don't have engravings between the lugs on a $500 replica with fantasy parts. Just remember the old days with the overpriced WM9 watches... TC Subs are very cheap considering the level of replication. And it's not all the days you will see the engraving anyways. If it's really bothering you, you always can send your case to Phong to have a good engraving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thanks valty im going to do that. I did not know phong does that. Can u suggest some numbers to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thanks valty im going to do that. I did not know phong does that. Can u suggest some numbers to me? You have a large range as the 16610 was not a small production (from 1989 to 2010) Yours is a 16610 T (without lug holes) - it appears in 2003. I didn't received my Caddell Sub yet, but it seems the dial is a replica of the Mark V dial. TC is comparing it's Caddell Sub with a gen with rehaut engraving and Mark V dial (2008 - 2009). They looks the same from what I see. The problem is the TC cases does not have rehaut engraving So you have to choose : - A serial from 2008 to 2009 (M and V series), but it will be wrong because you don't have rehaut engraving - You should avoid 2006 - 2008 serials because the zeros on the dials were rounded - A serial from 2003 - 2005 without rehaut engraving, but the dial isn't exactly the same The real question is, does it worth it to make engraving if it's not 100% correct ? My personal opinion is "no", especially when you thinks it's a fantasy model And if you really wants an engraving - If it was me, I'll do a fantasy engraving... Why not after all ? Please correct me if I'm wrong on some points, I'm not an expert when we talk about 5 digits models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 You know way more than me. Im going to see if its worth doing and ill make a number up. Thanku valty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Why do engravings even matter. Even if they have engraved it takes 2 seconds to see that the case isn't stamped it's engraved. Rolex stamps the case with smooth polish finish not the etched up engravings most reps have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) All my rolex watches have the engraving. Its what i like. But no big deal. I like the watch anyway. Edited November 3, 2013 by Tonyyammine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
