TC V6: Any obvious "tells"?

Recommended Posts

Hey gang.

I have a TC V6 w a gen insert and gen crystal. I love this watch!

I've never seen a gen to compare, but wonder what "tells" exist btwn the TC w these gen parts and a true GEN. Can anyone share that knowledge? I'm wondering if the sweep of the secs on a TC mvmt is diff than a gen?

Thanks,

KD

Some say the rehaut is at a different angle, or is a different depth, or maybe it's an optical illusion created by a different finish/texture.  Either way, it can look a little different from gen.

 

If you have a V5 bracelet, the SEL is a giveaway.  The raised center portion sits much higher than on the gen.

 

Still I bet it looks great--post some pics!

If you look for tells, you'll always find them.

Best to just enjoy it and not go down that rabbit hole.

You'll find yourself comparing pics to gens trying to spot the difference. :lol:

The second hand pinion hole is always the dead giveaway to me.

You can put a gen dial, gen crystal, gen bracelet..etc on it but unless you got a gen or a yuki movement in there, that hole will be a tell.
