Seanpz1 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hey guys still kinda new here. Ive noticed over the past months how many used non franken 11610's are sold or listed for more then a new TC sub V6. Am I missing something here? I can only imagine rep watches dont age as well as a gen would. Also TC's seem to be getting closer to gen each edition he drops. What gives! greed?

Seanpz1 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Sorry wasn't talking about strictly this forum. I have seen on other forums for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 You're losing me- what is a non franken used 16610? Would that be something like a cartel 16610 with non gen construction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanpz1 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Sorry for the confusion, to clarify if the TC sub V6 is the best out of the box rep how come previous gen BK an TC's are sold for about what a new TC sub V6 would.

marrickvilleboy Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 End of day, supply and demand if the price is too high, the market will reflect and the seller will have to drop price in order to sell. Wouldnt be too worried about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 A late model BK with gen like construction and earlier TCs are all comparable to the TC V6, so then it's just a matter of how the watches have been massaged and what gen parts they have.

Examplehttp://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=228668 Off: Wow dude, Way to [censored] on my thread.. again even on another forum . On: To add to the answers though, all TC's are comparable. Only differences would be the adding of new parts by TC or the owner. A V6 isn't a new watch compared to the V5. It are all just upgrades TC brings to an already solid base. Does this justify an increase in price? yes and no, it al depends on what the market wants. Are they great upgrades? Definitely Why the sub in the link you mentioned is priced higher than a new v6 is the price of a new gen insert, extra bracelets, waterproofing and a swiss movement compared to the asian clone.

danielv2000 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Now that I have seen the sales thread, it's pretty clear the watch listed on RG is not a a base 16610. It's a TC V5 with some modfications, a genuine insert + a swiss movement whereas the TC V6 basewatch houses a clone movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepersie Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 since TC V6 sub base is houses a clone movement, what is the best swiss movement to upgrade it? ETA 2824? anyone can advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked it out NICE ,put in Swiss movement the V3 bracelet V2 clasp ETC( the verdict still not in on if the new one beats this combo) . The market will decide the price but a lot effort ,time and money to get these parts so really comparing apples and oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagman26 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I need a V3 bracelet. Also, the price seems to be right for the market of quality non modded reps like TC and BK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rails Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Have not purchased a TC before I had a BK sub and lost it on vacation can someone point me in the right direction? Edited November 21, 2014 by rails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 since TC V6 sub base is houses a clone movement, what is the best swiss movement to upgrade it? ETA 2824? anyone can advice? You have several options, the first of course is an ETA2824-2 selling now from the supply houses for north of 200 USD, the next is a Sellita , another very good SWISS movement, but priced about the same as the 2824. The third option, and the one I would use is the Seagull ST2130. This is a Chinese movement, but from and old established Chinese watch and movement manufacturer. I bought one about six months ago for 99.00 USD shipped to the USA. The seller , from Portugal doesn't carry them any more, though. I tried to get one a couple of weeks ago, and she told me that they had raised the prices and she quit carrying them. They are great movements if you can find one now.

Bc1221 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Replacing a Tc2824 with a eta 2824 or a sellita would be a pain in the ass if you want it done right. TC has always used H4 cannon pinions so the hour hand has the correct height. With a stock eta or sellita, you're gonna have a hour hand almost laying flat on the dial. As for why older TCs and such seem to sell for more than a new one... Well it's all a matter of pref. some people prefer TCs older cases with the deeper rehaut and engravings between the lugs and some with rehaut engravings. Then you gotta consider what gen parts are on it. A TC V5 with a gen insert is prob gonna sell for more than a brand new stock v6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 In about an hour, one who know his way around a watch and movement can un-case the movement and change the seconds and canon pinion wheels and have it put back, ready to wear.
