Hi mates ,

I recently purchased a sub TC V6 with the new insert V2.

I received yesterday, and this morning it has already been sold to a RWI Forum user.

I have had time to make a brief comparison between this and a gen 16610 of 90' .

Here are some photos for my RWI friends :)

Thanks for the pics, that's awesome for comparison. The TC looks great overall, but I love the lug holes and beveled lug edges of your gen 16610 :thumbup:
Lukko, what were your impressions of the TC and why didn't you hang onto it?

Thanks!! Not sure we should compare pearls, if the insert on the gen is the original it's a tritium pearl. I'm kinda disappointed to see that the font is thinner on the V2. Is that the new PA bezel he is putting on the newest V6's? Ordered mine 3 weeks ago ant got an email saying mine would come with the new bezel and I'm wondering what is different about it?

STILL looks awesome. The font is a little skinny?
And the Pearl looks a little bigger but other than that exellent craftmanship!

Honestly the thickness of the font should be the easiest to get right. But then it's being compared to an earlier model flat 4 insert.
Can't be perfect, got to leave room for the V3,4,5...ect.

You have the best rep sub available on the market without mod mate :)

Yes mate, TC V6 is an amazing watch!

It has some fantastic CG, identical to gen.

The tube is different.

The crown is slightly wides, but eye no one pays any attention to this.

The bezel insert of the is amazing, even the pearl is fabulous.

I think it's the best "not gen insert" available.

The dial is fantastic, it is the best dial rep I've ever seen. The indices and the lume application are fantastic.

The hands appear gen.

The clasp is wides and you see it by your eye, but I think it is due to the different variations of this watch.



I did not like the AR of the crystal, and the AR of the Cyclops. They are too blue for my taste.

The magnification of the Cyclops is not like gen is acceptable ... but there's just too much blue in RA cyclope.

H4 cannon pinion is also fantastic and the movement works well, the DWO is perfect. The date disc is perfectly centered.

:)

Many users have complained that the new insert PA bezel does not rotate properly and that beyond that the teeth of the ring are shallower than the previous (more ugly to see)

My ring runs perfectly, and its teeth look beautiful deep ... so I do not think I have the new PA bezel (in my opinion, if I have the old one this is much better)

But this is the new bezel insert V2 :)

When did he start using AR crystals? My LV is sbout a month old and came with no AR. I put a gen Crystal in anyway with an AR cyclops but the one that came in the watch had none.

My about 2 month old TC LV KH insert V2.
Cyclops has AR and in some angles a light blue hue. Doesn't bother me. I love this piece ...

Yes mate, you can also see the tube that is very much different. Unscrewing and screwing it has a different feeling. GEN on the right, rep on the left
