If each and every Rolex Submariner has a soul, it dwells here.

It's soul is ever so pure and bright. It is an enchantment whenever one looks at it.

TC Sub before TC Insert V2 was a beautiful woman lacking the refined spirit.

Although hardly noticeable to untrained eyes, seasoned collectors would still went all the trouble to source and swap a gen insert on it during the V1 phase. But with V2 I'd say the job is done.

With TC Insert V2. TC Sub finally got a soul.

Amazing work!! Questions though will you ever bevel the edges on the case? 

That is a good question; i like very much these small chamfers on the gen sub case; all the gen 16610 i had where chamfered !

Look at this gen i had one year ago; i don't know why i sold this beauty :frusty:

I will always regret this watch, she was really in great condition, from 2005 if i well remember.

I'm a gen watch dealer so I pick up on those little details but realistically tcsub looks like a after market polish job you get from a lot of the mom and pop watch shops.

So in your professional opinion, how is the rest of the watch?

I would say this watch is dead on the money. The only tell is the directions the hands move 

'The directions the hands move ..'

Please can you explain better i don't understand..

ETA movements set time in the opposite direction from genuine Rolex movements. You rotate the crown clockwise to set the time with a genuine Rolex. The crown rotates clockwise and the hands move around the dial clockwise. With ETA it is the opposite. You rotate the crown towards you, or counter clockwise, to move the hands around the dial clockwise.
