Cant recall the name but he's created a hommage gen brand.

Yup.

 

There's a lot of speculation as to whether or not TC is a part of "Ginault" or not, but the mere fact that TC used to ship out of the same UPS POST OFFICE BOX location that Ginault uses as their formal registered trademark address, is pretty telling.

 

The Ginaults are beautiful watches and I can't wait to get my hands on one.

To be honest, regardless of wether TC has anything to do with that brand they just look to me like the scores of other wannabe Rolex divers with an ETA movement inside

To each their own!

 

I've seen one in person and personally would love to own one, but I definitely understand the wishy-washy feeling about homage's.

I own a V6/7 TC 16610 and now that I hear he has gone from the scene saddens me.

That being said, it makes my mid 2016 TC a rare beast. Knowing they were built by hand and basically a work of art and now finite in number only makes it more precious.

To me, it is the embodiment of a perfect 16610 with no engraved rehaut or crystal and SuperLuminova.

I now feel blessed in a way that is more than the anguish over the cost and frustration of the wait.

Whatever you are doing TC, may the wind always be at your back, and the sun on your face, thank you.

I was curious so asked the question, especially as I found the Ginault site clunky to navigate around. I got a reply....

"Jonathan, 

Thank you for your email. 

We are aware of the rumor but I can assure you we have no association with TC. 

I understand there are similarities which may lead to such suspicion but if you know what you are looking at you will see the production precision/consistency, maturity in workmanship, and everything else is still night and day difference between the Ocean Rover to the TCs.

The prices for each Ocean Rover variant is listed on our website. You will have to clean into each variant to see the price. 

 Please let me know if there is any question, and I'd be happy to answer it for you. 

 

Sincerely, 

 

John McMurtry"

lol "you will see the production precision/consistency, maturity in workmanship, and everything else is still night and day difference between the Ocean Rover to the TCs." This sounds EXACTLY how TC explained his latest upgrades on his blog!

It's really sad that TC isn't i the game anymore. 

I have his 16610 LV from early 2016  and wear it every single day.
I reached out to him for a new green insert, since the one i have is faded out...

any help? what can i do now?

Later or sooner, Thomas will finally make a true gen sub ! Lol

He is hunting the smallest gaps in order to burn them, again & again. But finally, as already said by most of us, almost nobody is able to differenciate v6 from a true gen...

Look forward a TC v6 ceramic !

:lol: what sort of idiot are you? If TC decides to bail out and never return then that his call, probably sick of dealing with your kind

No, uber-cool. The price of my TC just goes up due to the ‘rarity’ of it!

Not even comparable. TC created watches himself with each component sourced and improved with every version.

BK takes noob watches and tidies them up. In most cases you are simply paying a premium for stuff you could easily avoid with a keen eye at QC
