TC Sub V6, Disappointment

[SUMIKITO]

I hope all these issues are sorted out with all the members here. Have been almost ready here to get me one or two of these "gems". Will have to see how all these turn out. Most of us here would like a ready to wear "turn key" watch, without going to more mods on a already fantastic time piece from TC.

I have released both screws that hold the movement holder ring to the casing and unscrewed the crown too. The whole movement holder does not seem to budge at all. What have I done wrong?

"whooping hand" ?

Try releasing the screws that hold the movement to the ring also.

i ment to write the whole movement after removing the main movement holder screws lol using my mobile

Released 2 screws from mvmt to ring and from ring to casing. No free play at all......

then remove the ring and then move it.also have you removeed the stem

 

[PoptheC]

I was just unscrewing the crown. Will remove the stem to see if that makes any difference.

if you remove the stem be careful not to push the release button too hsrd i fid it and damaged the keyless.but you will be able to align the dial if you remove the stem definitely mate

Guys the TC movement ring is in snugly, the only way to center the dial a bit better is to ever so slightly bend the dial feet when the dial is removed and reinstall it all, there is tiny amount to be gained there, I know I had to do that on mine.

Dude you are going to have to find some freeplay somewhere, if you cant find it by releasing the screws, you are going to have to sand the dial OD or the movement ring ID or OD.

With the movement ring out are you able to adjust the dial to where you like it?
If so, then the movement ring will need to be adjusted correspondingly.
If not, the dial will need adjustment.

No disrespect, RSH, but i believe his dial is left justified because his datewheel is left justified too, i think this is how TC reduced its offset.
If he does what you are sayin, i think it will make his datewheel justification worse.

I noticed that the movement is already being pushed max right. There is no further adjustment possible. I guess TC had adjusted the dial to align with DWO but not the rehaut...sigh

 

[PoptheC]

Bending the dial feet seem to be the only solution but DWO alignment will be off....

No. you can adjust (sand) the dial or movment ring to gain additional adjustment, and retain the the dial movement reference.

All you guys are correct, I use a BK dwo and it centers and the dial can be where it needs to be. How does TC get the offset to the left with the dial feet being intact ? just minute bend in the feet and perhaps additional space between dial and movement ring. If one plans to keep the current dwo, sanding the entire movement ring is the solution, at least in the 1 oclock to 5 oclock positions
