TC Submariner V6 with Gen Insert, Gen Crystal & ETA mov

Recommended Posts

boneyjr

Over the last few years on the forum, I have owned quite a few reps. During this time my watch strategy has changed a bit. That is to say, I am aiming more towards quality than quantity. With the goal of having 5-6 high-end pieces, my latest acquisition will have a firm, longstanding place at the table.

 

The pics below are of a V6 TC Submariner with a genuine insert, genuine crystal (with LEC) and ETA movement (H4 cannon pinnion) all installed by BK. This also comes with BK's V4 date wheel overlay -- it is spot on.

 

I have been comparing this rep to the genuine 2005/06 model, and I cannot find a single tell; its that good. The craftsmanship is superb, even down to the bracelet screws; they are a perfect fit. And more than any other rep, this bracelet has that gen 'sheen' to it.

 

Naturally this was a high dollar investment, but I really couldn't be happier. Enjoy the pics.

This was not an easy shot to get. The LEC's on a gen crystal are tricky little buggers to spot.

Like you say the watch is that good and you have made it even better. I am afraid to say that when I wear the TC, I have the "yeah I am wearing a real Rolex" syndrome.

 

Enjoy.

What kind of issues did you experience w/the original TC movement & how long after you had your watch did the original movement begin to give you trouble?
