TC Sub V7


tc670207

Recommended Posts

TC V7X LV with YUKI 3135 and gen auto wind module. Gen crystal, Gen DW, Gen Hands, Gen crown on WSO gen spec tube which will not fit this case without modification. The TC V7X is great in every way except for the internal design which is totally stupid as it makes it near impossible to install a gen or Yuki movement. There are two cutouts on the inside of the case near 7 and 2 which are where the mounting screws go for the movement, a genuine case has one cutout at 9. It's almost as if someone intentionally made this case so a gen movement would not fit. However a very good watchmaker can make it fit.

Just had the same movement dropped in to mine! It feels good to know it’s no longer the ETA clone!

Who did the work and how did they deal with the cutout at 7pm , Tickelshoes did mine


I just had a friend of mine put it in, and it seemed to work pretty much fine without much work in the first place. He didn’t do much to make the 3135 fit other than putting a thicker o-ring in the case. Right now I’m working on modding TC’s dial so I can use that one with the 3135 and not another one

Tickleshoes cut the feet on that TC LV dial and used dial dots but now I hear he has a way of attaching new dial feet so the TC dial fits the 3135. I have 2 TC V6 LVs, 2 TC V6 LNs and 1 each TC V7X LN and LV in different configurations. I'm kind of interested in checking out the new JJS 16610 that the guys over at HorologyBoard.com are building. Its based on a JF watch and since it comes with a Yuki you're already ahead of the game. Also a genuine Auto wind Module makes all the difference in the world , really mine feels better than some genuines that have not a service in years!

Unfortunately, we have all been left in the dark somewhat, Thomas hasn't posted anything whatsoever about recent rumours, and conspiracy theories about going legit.

Bro I still think the theory is correct... and as I'm not longer likely to be able to pick up a TC LV I used one of the best sub cases out there (Ginault)... and used it to put my fantasy no date LV together.

I used the latest JF Insert... not sure how accurate colour is but it's a sweet insert for sure.a0c5200beba58da8c33a29768b93be14.jpg

The genuine inserts varied somewhat, the earlier ones were a lovely olive green.
