After reading A LOT, for 4 weeks now, I'm still asking myself that question, for the quality (even if both models are different 16610 for TC and 116610 for BK or Noob Sub C V5) one would like to know which one is a better super rep over all?
I was inclining for TC's but I've read that the dial can almost always come off-centered due to a DWO justification problem. Is this problem corrected in the newer version or is it still a fact? I've heard the defines argument against this saying that even genuine Subs sometimes have misaligned dials and that one shouldn't really be worried about these minor details.
On the other hand, the BK has a correctly aligned engraved rehaut if that counts for something, a factory perfect blue lume and the BK DWO is said on many forums to be better than TC DWO V4. In fact that TC DWO miss-alignment or justification problems its the cause of the Dial off-centeredness. Another point in favour of the BK Sub-C super rep is the INDICES or minute markers are identical to Gen, because every 5 minute marker is bolder and whiter than the others, and touch the rehaut just like the gen while TC's indices are all the same and don't touch the rehaut like the gen. In favour of TC's, the T in the "chronometer" lettering is flawed in BKs and not in TC's.
I hope the experts chime in. I repeat, Ive been told the solution is to just "live with the misaligned Dial in TC's because the quality overall is so great that those minor details don't matter). Even if that may be fundamentally true, but ignoring that last statement which one is a better or a more accurate/less inaccurate, more gen-like super rep and why?
These are my conclusions:
OOTB BK's 116610 LN Sub c is more accurate, the only flaws are minor and are not bold enough numbers on the Insert and the rolex logo not being bold enough and "T" lettering flaw, so you need to buy a gen dial, which is pricier than a gen dial for TC's (which you don't really need), also need to buy an insert which is more expensive than TC's (which you also need to change).
OOTB TC sub V6 is awesome, but the off-centered dial is a dead give a way and would bother me for sure. The STRONG points are, the gen parts are like 40% less expensive than the near 6 digit model 116610 LN. What I REALLY hate is the fact that TC himself says the solution is to "just live with the Dial's off centeredness because even Gen subs sometimes are off centered" and the cult like following of members stating just the same thing. These last flaws for me are fatal and overshadow the overall almost perfect super rep. Remember I'm speaking "OOTB", I know these flaws could be fixed by a modder watch smith by changing the DWO for a BK and aligning the Dial and that the gen parts for the TC are less expensive than for the BK Sub C.
Thank you for reading.
