tframo Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Mike. You put a gen bezel assembly or just the bezel insert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Insert only as far as I have heard goes right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tframo Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 That's what I thought. Already has the gen insert. I'm going to source a gen crown to see if that fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffindodger Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Just missed the postman with mine doh! hope the crown won't slip on mine , for $545 it should be perfect thats why i I'm paying for a perfect rep sub not 1 that needs reping afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tframo Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I know what you mean coffin. I paid over $750 mine off m2m since it had the gen insert. I was bummed when in noticed this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex6340 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Nice one. My TC lv has still the TC "vintage". Did you use a press to install the gen insert? And the assembly back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex6340 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 But doesn't the complete bezel assembly pops out on yours as well? Because a week ago I wanted to change the click spring and had the bezel assembly in my hand. Was a pain to put in back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tframo Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I spoke to tc. Seems he thinks it could be the crown and tube set needs to be replaced or something more serious as movement issue. Here the catch; I purchased what was essentially a brand new tc only from m2m and not directly from tc. Wasn't expecting any issues as it was sold "as new". Should I go to the member I purchased the watch from or to tc for a remedy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Always can try the seller. I have had movement issues on 2 recent m2m pieces and was on my own. Both sellers said the same thing, "worked when it was shipped". We all have different opinions about what "working condition or perfect" is. No bad feelings about it, I just chalk it up to part of the hobby. So sent off to my favorite watch smith and now are in "perfect working order" or at least my view of that... Hey do you still need that link? Sent from my droptop using telepathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 " So sent off to my favorite watch smith and now are in "perfect working order" or at least my view of that..." as did I . Movement problems are a tough thing banging around in mail truck/plane shit happens. Will say never happened to me on a ship luck of the draw I guess since most here pack well.( For new guys reading always ship in a box free at your local post office!)

tframo Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'm probably going to send off to a modded/smith to have it looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tframo Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I fixed the movement "issue". It was only the second hand hitting the minute hand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tframo Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Spoke too soon. Still not working. Sending to vac for movement swap with eta, gen crown, and pressure testing. Also just picked up a gen clasp for the TC bracelet I'm going to be in this thing over $1500 when finished. Wasn't planning on that when buying a " brand new" TC v6 from m2m Oh well.

Mike on a bike Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Tony unfortunate but the move to ETA is something that should be done in time no matter what , you are just ahead of the curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tframo Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Coffin. Sorry to hear that. I've heard rumblings that TC quality control was slipping but I didn't want to believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
