SSTEEL Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I'm receiving quite a few emails lately from customers wanting TC builds, but with TC no longer making them, I'm trying to to source any used TC parts that I can, and then build watches on demand using TC parts, so if you have any TC parts, please drop me a pm, thanks. I couldn't find a wanted section, so hope this is the right place? Edited May 19, 2017 by SSTEEL Politically Corrected due to trolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I just wish we all had a definitive accurate account of what exactly is indeed going on with Thomas, far too much speculation going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezio Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Second that there is something weird about This and if you dig Around a little there is Big signs of what going on but i Will not spread rumors people may dig their own but something is off 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Indeed, I have read about the certain things which others are saying, but I refuse to comment until we actually hear from Thomas, I really thought he would have the courtesy to at least post an announcement of sorts in public rather than informing mods across the boards to hide his section from public view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I will also consider buying damaged, or scratched TC dials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pick_br Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) surely this would make these SSTEAL builds TC builds would suggest they're built by TC, but as he is no longer in the picture they're absolutely not his builds just my take Edited May 19, 2017 by pick_br 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Nobody said they will be TC builds, I'm simply using the last of his parts thats all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Well hello gents see you are over for a visit.

automatico Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 "Nobody said they will be TC builds, I'm simply using the last of his parts that's all." Nothing at all wrong with that. A good idea imho. How come? 1...TC did not make the parts, he assembled 'TC Watches' from parts he gathered up. 2...TC looked long and hard for some of the parts and had them made to his specs but he has no claim to them once they are removed from the TC bags. 3...When the parts are out of the TC signed bags, they are simply 'replica watch parts'. A watch made out of 100% TC parts but assembled by someone else may or may not be a 'TC watch'. Say what? 1...If you have a watch made out of '100% TC Watch Parts' and assembled by TC...it is a 'TC Watch'. No question. 2...If you have a watch made out of '100% TC Watch Parts' and assembled by Joe Anonymous...what is it then? 3...Did TC put each and every 'TC Watch' together himself making them 'Official TC Watches'...or not? Who knows? It all makes my head hurt... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking advantage of TC's good name is just poor form really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Gotta disagree.....isn't that what all the rep makers including tc do already? Market demands is how I see it, give people what they want when for whatever reason they can't get it, that's how I see it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Well if you follow that argument to it's conclusion, whatever it's merits or otherwise, then you should be on TRF ranting about fakes including TC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasebah Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 It seems really hilarious to me that folks in a rep forum suddenly get into a discussion about "IP-rights". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Indeed, its laughable, and I don't see that I am doing anything wrong whatsoever, I purchased the parts in the photos above, they are now my property. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
