TCV6LV Shark

[Garyb]

Received my TCV6LV yesterday and already changed it, lol. Gen AR crystal goes on today. Yes I still have the LV V2 insert that came with it. I'm ordering a couple TC bezel rings and a black v2 insert so I can swap back and forth.

And Gen AR Cyclopes Crystal installed!

I purposely made the rest of the Crystal glare up to show off the AR cyclops. Don't know if anyone remembers but I bought 10 of these crystals a couple of years ago at a real good price and flipped most of them to other members at the same price. While I sold off all of my reps in order to go Gen, I kept this last one crystal but didn't have the balls to start prying things off of a gen Rolex and never installed it. After almost two years babying a Gen, I have come to the conclusion that I would rather mod and bash a good rep then baby a Gen. And I have to tell you, the second time around with reps is so much easier.

Very nice mate where did you source the blue insert from? Was thinking of doing the same to my TC LV v2

Would like to know that too....!

Blue insert is the cheapest eBay option. $620 watch with a $12 insert, lol. Bad font, really bad pearl, but great color. I am replacing the pearl and living with the font until I find a faded number Gen at a reasonable price. Thanks for all the compliments.

Other than the newer ceramic subs did Rolex ever release one with a blue bezel insert?

Not as a stainless steel model. The 16613 came with a blue insert with golden numbers. When those inserts are bleached you can get gen blue/silver inserts for the older 5 digit subs

No personal experience, just stuff I have found on the net like this. Could be all BS for all I know.
