jpz5142 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 You pretty much have the closest to gen sub already. You can get a gen insert, gen crystal gen anything. But you could just be happy with what you have. TC bracelet is just as gen like as you can get when it comes to the feel, the Gen is just a cheap flimsy design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) You are looking at $250-300 for the gen crystal (new), and $100-150 for the gen insert (new). Gen crown and tube is the other main option. May be able to find used parts for less, or by shopping around if you aren't in a hurry. Omega and Alberto.86 usually have them 'in stock' if you are looking for a quick purchase. Edited January 27, 2014 by tomhorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 ...and $100-150 for the gen insert (new). Does it ship via magical unicorn? I've been looking out for these new inserts priced at below $150 for about a year across various fora. Haven't been able to see one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKTime Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I have several gen rolex bracelets., and with the exception of the new style's with the redesigned clasps, they all feel flimsy and cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I reckon the rep insert is pretty good already. I'm comparing it to a genuine 16610 that I recently bought. I think the v6 is very very close (though the bracelet doesn't fit the genuine watch properly - needs some shaving off, i.e., too big) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack219 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thank you guys for your answers and tips. so i understand from you there isnt way to improve the bracelet by some mods and there isnt bracelet better in the market. maybe my watchmaker really dont know pretty much about TC bracelet compare to gen. however, im going to order gen insert. what else mods are important and critical? what about the crystal?
