alberto.86 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Congratulations! A real show. The only flaw .. if you can call it .. is the bezel ring. I ordered a Startime bezell ring, i also installed on my TC LV.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a Startime bezell ring, i also installed on my TC LV..Nice bezel! Im by no means an expert, but yours looks more polished and TC's more brushed. Could be lighting...

rsh Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 not sure the bezel should be polished? i dont think that st bezel looks right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I agree with rsh on this, the ST bezel is ok, but it's a little bit overdone with the deep scallops.Look at this gen bezel from a late model 16610Also, the bezel is a wear item, on older watches it will be smoother and worn down, much more softer like on this R serial 16610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Sitting waiting for my V6 to get here have tracking, V3 bracelet in stock ready to go. Now you guys have just gave me two three other items to get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 With a good bezel pearl, maybe you won't need any gen parts, Mike! Rep crowns are pretty good these days and gen crystals are nice, but expensive.I kinda like the old moniker- "no gen parts were harmed in the building of this rep!"And TC parts are so good, we're almost there.

ProMariner Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Wow! I have to say that this 16610 is very gen like. Actually the dial is pretty damn good. It is a mark III dial. Too bad that the case doesn't have LEC and Rehaut RRR, and it is not powered by a SA3135, then the watch would be even closer to the gen, it would be the perfect sub replica !

live1 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 just buy a gen crystal with no ar and lec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Ingelero, The crystal does have LEC ....see pic below just noticed the LEC is visible here Edited December 25, 2013 by rsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Received my TC Sub v6 today. What an awesome piece! Date is aligned center. The only thing that bothers me is the non-AR cyclops. So I will search for an AR'ed cyclops crystal now. Not sure if I want with LEC or not, depends on the price difference... I replaced the TC insert with a gen insert. But TC's insert is freaking close! Replacing the insert was quite a task for me. I tried to take off the bezel, but instead I kept on taking off the entire bezel assembly! When I finally succeeded in taking the bezel off, I lost the bezel click spring! After sweeping the floor with my bare hands and a flashlight I found it. Snapping in the insert was pretty easy. After all the trouble I went trough, my wife wanted to try it on. And guess what! She didn't want to take it off! So I had to manhandle her in order to get it back. I need a watch box with a big lock. Correction, I need a safe!

sputim Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Lucky you markiemark and enjoy the watch I am patiently watiting for my TC v6. Paid on 29th November but didn't receive any message since then. Hopefully it is already on its way. Have a gen insert waiting as well Caddell insert definitely looks nice but depending on the lightning conditions the rounded edges are quite good visible. Are you really sure about buying an AR'd x-stal for the 16610? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Why wouldnt I be sure about an ARed xtal? Can barely read the date most if the times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Why wouldnt I be sure about an ARed xtal? Can barely read the date most if the times! I'm looking for one too. Don't care about period correct, call it an upgrade, gen owners do it all the time. A gen ar crystal looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I never thought about this xstal option on a 16610 but somehow sounds interesting let us see the result wehn you get there Gesendet von meinem iPhone mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have a question, Isn't the TC Sub suppose to have a serial# engraved between the lugs? And a part# on the inside of the SELs? Mine (v6) seem to have non of the above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine (v6) seem to have non of the above... The latest TC cases do not have serials engraved on the inner lugs, same for his latest bracelet. My TC LV Sub is the same, mate.

rsh Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Big step backwards but it is what it is for those wondering gen AR on a TC sub (same sub before crystal swap and dial swap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bht0504 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Wow! That AR really makes a big difference. Beautiful! I wish I didn't buy a non AR/LEC. That's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemark Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Anyone who knows the difference between the v3 an v4 bracelet? I have a v4, does it suppose to feel rather light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well...the biggest difference is that the v4 is available The crown on the claps improved on v4 but overall I'd say the v3 was the better bracelet. Best was the v2/v3 combo...too bad I sold mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
