evenflow Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I am now the proud owner of a TC 16610 V6 - Yes another proud owner. This is my first rep I have ever purchased and I am not disappointed what so ever. TC is a pleasure to deal with and an absolute professional at what he does. Knowing what I know now I wouldn't hesitate to trust TC with my hard earned dollars. That being said - I'll start with a little watch background. My current genuine watch collection is a Tag 1887 first issue, Tag Monaco - Steve McQueen LE and an Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch - Apollo 15 LE. I have been wanting a vintage Rolex for some time, and although this is not a real one It feels great on the wrist. The moment I placed my order with TC I located a Gen bezel insert still in its blister pack from a very reputable source. I forked over the nearly $175 (over seas shipping included) and the wait began. TC has to build these, so you're not getting it overnighted to you or anything like that. I now believe that the wait helps with the desire - I'm a guy. Within hours of receiving the watch (about 4-6 weeks after placing order) I had installed the new gen insert and sized it for my wrist. Everything went very smooth as the watch is very well built. I'm on day three with my new watch and have received many compliments on its condition, being a vintage Rolex. Not a single one, not even my co-workers with gen 16610's, thought it was fake. This of course is partly because they have shopped with me for my Gen watches.... And mostly because TC's amazing attention to detail. Very proud of this addition and hopefully this will help satiate my growing watch appetite for a little bit - - doubtful. I forgot to mention - this is with the new TC 93250 V5 braclet Lets see if I can get images to load - I'm new Watch as it was shipped Watch with Gen Insert to compare With TC Insert With Gen Insert The rest are with Gen Bezel Insert in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Very nice watch! I have the same with gen insert and just received a gen AR'd crystal which is amazing. Soon place an order for the v5 93250. The bracelet looks nicely sunken and the SEL seems to be great! Enjoy and TC is definitely a pleasure to deal with and the wait is well worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evenflow Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Thanks for the crystal image sputim - I'm doomed to locate one of those now. This is a sickness isn't it. I wonder if medical insurance will pay for rep watches like methadone for heroin addicts (I'm not actually sure that insurance companies pay for methadone either) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is very addicting and very very expensive.. The good thing about Rolex parts is that they won't lose their value. Moreover, if you are lucky and keep things in good conditions you could sell the stuff for more if you need the money. The tc crystal is totally fine so no hurry but if you get a good deal I wouldn't reject it. But be careful and double check it here on the forum since many people sell fake crystals on the bay and it's so hard to tell them apart just from looking at pictures. I was pretty lucky with mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 First, as I see slot of v6 lately, TC seems to have fixed the over size mag. This one showing looks 2.5x . BUT, looks like tc is being lazy at his Dwo. This is high position, and the other one shower by sputim is left adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, looks like tc is being lazy at his Dwo. This is high position, and the other one shower by sputim is left adjusted. For mine only some days are left adjusted but most of it is perfectly centered. The problem is the dwo v3 which is very very hard to position 100% correctly and I am sure he does best as he can and even possible. Hopefully the v4 is finally fixing this issue and for all who are perfectionists the option is there to order a dwo v4 and have it perfectly centered by a watchmaker or on its own (which is very very very oh I forgot very hard ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
send2toonie Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I too bought a TC V6 as my first rep. I received it maybe three days ago. It is amazing. Loving it, and TC is a pleasure to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

send2toonie Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Noob, but I think my date window looks good. Slight angle shot; its very centered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I think it is great that he fixed the date mag, all you guys need is a gen insert, then it's all done. I have spend double the price is make my wm9 prefect. Tc is just amazing . Now I am thinking I should just sell my franken and get a v6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htown Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Love the TC V6. I'm debating whether I should get one as my daily and wear the Gen on the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th00942962s Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 why TC v6 didn't do the ROLEXROLEXROLEX engrave thing. just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegasvic Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Dang, the gen insert and crystal make that V6 just POP! There is just no way to rep the look of that pearl either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m8rk76 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hi, Who is TC you speak off. I have been reaching out to find a dealer? And how much did this cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I would also like to know. TC is not a dealer. He is a watch enthusiast who made it his personal mission to design and build a top-flight Rolex Submariner replica, just for the challenge of making it the best available. He worked with China factories to produce parts to his designs, and he hand-assembles each watch from parts (when they arrive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy and TC is definitely a pleasure to deal with and the wait is well worth it Hey Sputim need your help Just sent my TC V6 off to have gen crystal installed. Should I go for the vintage look with LEC only ooooorrrrr update it with the LEC AR'd crystal like yours? Do you think the AR is worth the extra $60 or so. Any help from you and the other gents would be greatly appreciated! Sorry to jack ya thread Evenflow btw enjoy that TC V6 to the max! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I thought the crystal without AR'd cyclops is awesome but once you have one of each side by side the difference is huge. Personally I would go for the AR'd one but in the end it is also a subjective decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
