TC 93250 V3 Review
- Thread starter tc670207
- Start date
Actually, the PJ4 clasp code is correct for those that have rehaut engravings. It places it under the V series gen that have rehaut engravings. Therefore, it will be incorrect, stock wise, for us who had the engravings removed.
In this regard, there are a few options one can do:
1. Base your build on the V series gen. With this, the following are correct:
a. V serial engravings between the lugs
b. PJ4 code in the inner clasp
But you have to get the following right:
c. Gen crystal with LEC
d. Replace the TC bezel with a deeper set of teeth.
Take not that letters C and D are quite expensive.
2. Or one can still base his TC on the Y series gen and do the following:
a. Buy the TC V3 bracelet and just use the SEL/bracelet without the clasp.
b. The coronet on the V3 bracelet is correct for the V series gen but not so noticeable on the Y series. I'll post a pic (sorry, just doing this on quick reply)

My initial excitement were gone after I saw an important statement in the sales thread...
This is very good for TC sub V-series owners.

the price is now down to $49. This is due to the fact it DOES NOT fit exactly on the V series as well. Some work will need to be done to ensure a good fit.

Is TC gonna do the sanding down & fitting because if we need to, I don't want it. I hate doing extra work for something already paid for......its called modding, something I'm.not into.
I'm confused. Did they make this to gen specs or TC sub v specs specifically? Or is it the same?
And yes.. would be down for this.

Im confused as well...........
Just ordered one.
I think this bracelet is made to TC sub V/gen spec (that I believe is the same) except for the SEL width that he asked a bit wider to be trimmed it later to perfectly fit the watch.
I guess it came out a bit too wide and the trimming work required is probably more than expected.
But it is fine with me since I need it to go on a different watch and I prefer some flash to play with.

Just noticed TC's bracelet deal - a V1, a V2, and a V3 bracelet for $78. Pretty good.
How is the V1 bracelet? I don't care about the numbers so much, just the quality.

Ive owned the TC Sub V4 with the V2 bracelet & it is pretty damn gen like. Im getting another with the V3 bracelet but from pictures, I dont see much difference.......gotta wait to see it in person.
The big difference is the "swissmade" w/o separation on the V2 & "swiss made' separation on the V3 which is gen like......also, supposedly the SEL is awesome on the V3, time will tell.
Ive never seen the V1 so I cant discuss that one.
The v3 also seems to have correctly smooth/rounded edges, while those on the v2 are kind of sharp. I sanded mine down, but the V3 looks much nicer than mine does.
Hmm....I never really felt any sharpness from the V2 bracelet....maybe I never payed attention. you're probably right tho, when TC upgrades products, its usually pretty good.
I got a sub the other day from TC that came with V3. I have a V2 here and the new bracelet is really nice. The finish seems finer, the sides are truly flat and in my case, the sel fit is perfect. The crown on the clasp is perfect..Just a really nice bracelet.

Woof, thanks for putting up the comparison pictures........the V3 definitely looks better. The Rolex logo looks more defined. The dots on the logo are smaller on the V3 which im assuming the gen is the same way?
Im trying to order 2 of these. I cant seem to get ahold of TC. I pm him and emailed. Any one with luck?
He emailed me about what I wanted this morning & I emailed him back & told him exactly what I wanted & needed to know what the price will be before I send the money to his PP address..........when will I receive his response is anyones guess, so keep emailing him every day, eventually he will respond.
Someone on RWG stated that he is going on a 2 week trip again so I dont know what thats about.............
