TC V7x

Recently won the raffle for a TC V7x over on HB. Every time I get a new watch I tear it down see how it’s built, one of my enjoyments of owning the piece. Just a hobby for me. No where near a pro. I’ve enjoyed watches since I was a kid. Something about them can’t explain it. Love em!

Anyways enough talk on to the pics. Not really a review TC’s are well known.

Movement. Did not try and drop my gen 3135 in it. I know some have done it on previous versions. Think the V6 will take a gen but not positive. Has a similar way of mounting as gen no movement tabs. You have to tighten the screws and rotate the movement to un case it.

Cleaned everything ultra sonic. Oiled the bracelet. Lubed the seals.

Great collection! Does the gen clasp swap easily to the TC v7? No modifications needed. Thanks!

That gen clasp is for a 1984 bracelet or 1985- smooth flip lock. J code is either 84 or 85.
