Good luck with the build. Take her handy. Do not rush it.

Yeah I definitely will take my time. For now, I'm just going to rock the TC until I have all the parts ready to have it put together.

How much casework would you think a TC would need compared to a WM9 and etc? Also, a yuki or gen 3135 isn't needed correct?

Are you asking for the parts? I have a real dial black and gold and real hands and real crystal and that is it.

No, I wasn't but I'm definitely looking (slowly but surely). I'm actually not sure if I want a bluesy or normal black TT but either way if you'd sell the parts, I'd reach out to you. Do you have a rough estimate on how much?

They aren't for sell. If you need them and I have them let me know. I will figure it out and post a sale for them on the parts.

I got a gen 16613LB insert from misiekped and put it on my TC v7 LN and love it. The blue just stops me in my tracks every time I see it.

So much so I was thinking how well a gen dial would complement it. I'm not in the financial position to go full 16613 franken, but do you think it would be feasible to put a 16613 dial with the insert? I would probably also need the champagne DWO and gold hands to match. Am I crazy thinking it would work aesthetically? I can always add crown, bezel and bracelet later

Like this gen I photoshopped :

I have seen the 2 tone head with the SS bracelet and I think it does not look good. However the shark effect you have is good enough. Usually done with more faded dials. I am putting a gen faded 16613 dial on my LV just to spice it up for a while before i go back to the flat 4 LV again.

@rsh has just completed my build and I am very happy with it! [Thank you again sir!]

I'm going to now slowly but surely save up for the rest of the needed gen/Upgrade parts and etc but I'm very content with what I have at this time:

TC V6 case
TC Dial
TC Hands
WSO Bezel & Retainer
Gen Insert
Gen crown
Rep non ar crystal with gen cyclops
Rep champagne DWO
BK 18K Fully Wrapped 116613 bracelet with TC 16610 clasp (will have next week)
