Mattcrx 8 Posted May 22, 2015 for that money could you not buy a TC and make a franken?? Gen blue and gold dials Iv seen go on eBay fairly cheaply... Blue and gold inserts seem to go at a fairy cheap price aswell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P4GTR 0 Posted May 22, 2015 TC's using WM9 tooling/contacts no? So, theoretically his TT should be damn good. WM9 TT head & Eurotimez bracelet, the one's that were gold wrapped bronze. They tested solid gold & even if you wore through the plating it would still look gold due to the bronze. Damn I wish I would've bought one. I'd sell it right now and profiteer like a boss!

Sorry I missed your point about TC tooling? In not aware of what toiling he or WM9 use?? Do you mean to say he uses the same people to make his products? So there fore making a TC TT would be as good if not better? Edited May 22, 2015 by Mattcrx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P4GTR 0 Posted May 22, 2015 Yep. Basically, one school of thought is that TC is WM9 reincarnate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattcrx 8 Posted May 22, 2015 Yep. Basically, one school of thought is that TC is WM9 reincarnate. Ahhhh learn something new everyday!! TC does sell the 16613 parts aswell so... At the money he stocks dial, hands and an insert... May be he way to go buddy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 281 Posted May 22, 2015 TC has some parts in stock but no bracelet, think it's just a blue dial and gold hands he can get Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC1221 44 Posted May 22, 2015 i think what theyre suggesting is to buy a TC and just mod it to a 16613. TC sells some parts for it.. TC 16613 Dial, $75 TC 16613 Hands, $25 TC 16613 Bezel Insert, $10 so as of now a TC 16610 = $500 + $200 for the parts. youre in a little over $700 after shipping and such. Add to that a gen 16613 crown = $200 or so the bracelet and bezel are where shit gets expensive if you want it to look good. these can costs $100s. plated options of course are much cheaper. sell the 16610 TC parts. + $200 its not a cheap project but youd have probably the best 16613 rep possible. if youre not too picky, i think theres a decent rep of it for around $250. it just has the purple-ish dial that everyone hates. i think the TC and the WM9 dial have the purple-ish dial issue. id go with a gen dial if possible. or you could just get one of these and change your TC in to one.

Genius 281 Posted May 22, 2015 To do it right you.need: Gen; dial, hands, insert, crown, bracelet Yuki; movement, DWO TC; miscase, caseback, bezel assembly, crystal That is the perfect franken but will run you $2.5k and you can pick up a gen for $5k so is it really worth it. I will have one one day but think for the money I may as well go full gen... For now I'm very happy with a standard TC v6 with a gen insert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC1221 44 Posted May 22, 2015 on a budget, this one is really not that bad. http://www.intime.co/rollie/1098-submariner-16613ln-two-tone-blue-dial-on-bracelet-a2836.html it could def use some work but you can get a pretty good 16613 rep for the price of a TC imo. Gen dial + Gen Datewheel + Gen insert = a pretty good 16613 rep for under a grand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC1221 44 Posted May 22, 2015 i believe the earlier models were that way. the later ones had the date wheel going the regular way. ex: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ROLEX-3135-SUBMARINER-16613-16618-HACKING-SECONDS-MOVEMENT-NEW-OLD-STOCK-/141654068367 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
