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.

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:

'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.
