TC Cadell Submariner Rouge - First Photoshoot

[Nightwatch]

Ok, it´s a technical marvel. It´s a real watch - a "Swiss Watch" "made in America", manufactured and assembled with care : Straightforward. No worries, no problems, no second thoughts. American assembly quality and You have it: You put in on the wrist – and it feels good. It sits. No need for adjustments, not too tight, not to loose, it just fits.

The TC is thinner, more gen-like, by this changing the weight balance to a lower point on the wrist and wow You notice it, a lot, it does not “capsize” like the others, huge improvement and difference. What a quality feel with the bracelet and its opening mechanism, it snaps open, it has a resistance than snaps, tight, solid, as it should be.

The movement – perfect, no rattling, no shaking, feels “gen-like”.
Screwing out the crown – again perfect feel, no scratching, no pushing, no fiddling around, no trying, it just clicks and You set date and time, smoothly, no resistance at all – perfectly working. Simply GREAT!

As for the looks, a lot has been said already the TC sub catches the light, it blinks, it reflects. Shine and perfection of the triangle and circles is fantastic. The lettering on the dial is crisp and uses different fonts than the asian ones. The black is smooth and a deep black. One other huge difference/improvement is how the second hand attaches to the center wheel – it just looks perfect. 

For this "Cadell Submariner Rouge 25-286" I just had to have that inverted datewheel without the Cyclops for the balanced overall "Seadweller-type" look and the crisp red second hand sweeping is just fascinating. Thanks for this TC

 

On to the pics, got a little carried away.. enjoy:

How is the second hand different from normal tc or wm9?

I believe it still have a hole affect right? or a cap like gen

Update: Second hand mechanism. Compared to the Asian production Seadweller or Sub the second hand seems to slide behind the center and nearer to the minute hand. Maybe its got a cap but definitely all hands are stacked nearer to the dial and assembled much nearer together which to the naked eye gives a different gliding look to the second hand with the center seemingly staying quiet. Quite professional looking.

 

In this try at macro shots it looks like this:

 

TC Submariner handstack, hour-hand almost touching dial, second hand near to minute hand (and capped?), the center of the second hand seems to stay quiet while the hand moves - either capped or optical illusion because of the highly polished silvery center

 

 

Asian Seadweller (or sub), hour-hand much farther from dial and second hand much farther from minute hand; center of second hand visibly moves together with the hand

It´s a TC V5, nothing else to add:) Changed the clasp to the glidelock one and have been keeping it like that for 2 years or more.

Are the min/hour hands black or is it just the angle and lack of reflections?

I'd like to get a Glidelock clasp for my bp seadweller. Great and watch and great photos
