My TC 16610 V6+ - I miss TC

Recommended Posts

So, here is in my opinion the best Rolex rep ever made..... Of course she could use some mods but TC was a true artisan.... Purchased as pictured a few years back, only mod was a Gen bezel insert. I now have her on a gen Glidelock too!!!! 

I wonder what happened to TC???

Sorry moderators, posted this in the wrong section earlier..... Here is my TC 16610 V6 with gen bezel insert.... I wonder what happened to TC? He was a true artisan. I have this beauty on a gen Glidelock, and from time to time on a Staib bracelet.

Does anyone know if TC is ok?

No pics here either. I did the gen insert thing and sold it. Stupid me.

Me 3 with the no pics. From what I understand TC is fine and went the gen route. You can probably get the details with a little bit of google-fu.

Rumor has it he started the Ginault watch brand?

Definitely regret getting rid of my v6 with gen insert back in the day as I was chasing a gen maxi case example.

It seems that building a 16610 from parts is the only way to go now since TC’s only last minutes on FS section.

Here’s my build to hold me over while a TC becomes available.

Gen crystal, gen crown, gen LN insert

WM9 Case and Bezel

TC lv hands, TC V3 bracelet

ETA 2824 with BK DWO

JF LV Dial

Thanks bro. That’s a sweet WM9.

I have the same 2824-2 H4. 

Not sure how to confirm it other than from the builder thesociety from RWI.

 

I have the “z” series, do you think it’s the v1 or v3 WM9?

I have a new set of 16610 LN hands I’m saving for if/when pick up a gen 16610 dial.

I've got the new jf 16610lv, but was curious if any owners of a TC lv could tell me if the bezel on the TC was closer to Gen than the jf? Mine is great and I love it (especially at the price point compared to the TCs) but my bezel is ever so slightly closer to a forest green than the almost limey green Gen. Trying to figure out if there is a replacement out there that is close to Gen.

If I could get my hands on a TC, that would be awesome.

Unfortunately I am sure a TC watch would go prettyy fast!

Put a wtb up you never know your luck but be careful there are some silly inflated prices.

TC is all yesterday’s hype to keep the price up and I doubt you’d get an unmolested straight outta the box one anyway,, get a JF,  the one without the engraved  rehaut. the only real tell is the datewheel font.

You dissun my TC Stu??   I do like the keeping the price up part though, Na only joking, I do still think the TC's are the best 5 digit Rep but I would have no hesitation buying a JF now the TC's aren't available and did come close to buying a JF but the funds were diverted to something else at the time.

Absolutely NOT!!

I do agree with you Mark, the TC is a good watch,  especially those pics you take on top of the sunny mountains :D

I don't suppose a kind TC owner could take one along to the G2G could they? I'd like to see what all the fuss is about. Pretty please someone.....?

Maybe I should put this in the G2G thread? I will.

I have my tc with gen dial, crown, insert, clasp and I honestly forgot what more. I would never sell it since it costed me almost 2k to build. Great artist TC was and I miss him.
