Mike on a bike Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Well guys finally got to wear my TC, I had a gen bezel, crystal (noAR), and crown (don't ask me why pretty damn good out of the box) put on as soon as it came in. But then I needed to wait for another link ( member rulosi to the rescue ) TC's come with an extra built in but I needed more............ But enough history so I bring to my friendly jeweler to add link (I'll just scratch it up!) no problem no charge done in a minute while I chat with owner. So now evening I put under 60 watt lamp for 1/2 hour put on go to bed. Wake up 5 hours later ( sleep very little) still glowing very nicely and pearl (gen) right with the dial on intensity. Now the mysterious supplier of this dial in TC's story well lord knows where they come from but as close as you get if not gen I venture. Now as you all know my regular pics suck and lume shots way beyond me so no pics! But it did happen just gonna have to trust MOAB on this one. PS as you guys know I have plenty of gens with Swiss super luminova but this one takes the cake. Now for a lume off with the vaunted Seiko lum-brite, report tomorrow morn.
sputim Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Tc's kh dial is definitely awesome! The lume is exactly as good as compared to my gen 16610lv and also the printing and indices on the dial are second to none! Great info Mike
Ezio Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Hmm Mike that sounds great cant wait for my tc6 to become a reality in my hand
droptopman Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 +1 TC lume is excellent. Just like gen. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.
Mike on a bike Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Posted June 13, 2014 OK guys TC going in the solid aluminum watch case no glass as Seiko in it's box w/ no light, this way both will get equal light time under lamp this evening from a dead state. Switch to the vintage Seamaster 300 big triangle on a leather Nato. This dial may have to visit Big Dazza for a little of his ageing............

abat Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Hmm Mike that sounds great cant wait for my tc6 to become a reality in my hand Waiting for mine too.
coffindodger Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 Waiting for mine too. +1 orderd on 01/05/2014 uk
Mike on a bike Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Posted June 14, 2014 OK guys well the Seiko and TC were put under the lamp same time having been in darkness all day. About five/six hours dead heat no noticeable difference as far as length of glow overall going to do that one tonight. Test subjects: (well you know the TC but the Seiko you need to see right) Just put them side by side in the Seiko's box it's brandy new in plastic bought while back. By the way if you can find that Seiko at a good price jump it, the Seiko Snow Monster (this is the baby white monster) are going for over 1000 so will drive these up.

k0hr Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 I really like that Seamaster of yours. I myself am waiting on my TC v6 tho, been 20 something days so far since payment. I've since acquired a gen insert, and gen crown. Can't wait for the watch to arrive.
Mike on a bike Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Posted June 14, 2014 20 days figure about 2 monthes more and thanks it is really nice on wears very comfortable.

Mike on a bike Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Posted June 14, 2014 About 3 monthes for mine and most others from what I know.
Nightwatch Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Great You are comparing the lume too. With good lume it´s a different watch at night. Love the in-the-dark readability of the KH dial.
Mike on a bike Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Posted June 15, 2014 Ok guys charging TC then let us see how long it lasts!
Rudy4010 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 The KH dial i got mounted in my WM9V1 is great! It glows like a torch...and matches my gen insert lume perfect! Looking forward to your results?
Mike on a bike Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Posted June 15, 2014 Still under the lamp...............
Mike on a bike Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Posted June 15, 2014 OK back in the sealed box 1204, in the morn time will tell....................
