ugh really? i just bought one...I thought a lot of people say it's a nice addition with the ten insert. oh well.

Well, they are right, it is nice, but you will probably be the only one to know, lol. Sometimes that's all that matters.

Considering that the v2 insert is pretty spot on, there's really no reason to take the risk and spend money to buy a gen insert. I have a v2 and it looks damn perfect.

The gen insert is worth it purely for the pearl. The gen has a certain "depth" to it that the TC v2 insert just can't quite replicate. The "depth" changes when looking at the pearl from different angles.

Maybe but you never notice it on the wrist or without putting one next to the other(at least not me and I do have both)

^i agree.

Practically impossible to tell apart gen and TC v2, even side by side (and I am very anal when it comes to Rolex).

That's a good tutorial, the only thing I suggest you do differently is put some tape between the case and bezel ring to protect the case where you insert the knife, press in on the crystal while removing the bezel ring so the whole assembly doesn't come out with it(ask me how I know), and I put the insert on AFTER the bezel ring has been reinstalled so you can align the insert pearl marker at 12:00.
