Hi guys,
Has anyone compared the TC Seadweller insert to a gen one? I am about to order a bracelet from him and probably will also ask for the insert.

I personally find that gen inserts make a big difference - nobody has ever come close to replicating gen Rolex inserts. And I'm not talking about font or anything like that - the paint application, the way it absorbs scuffs and knocks which add patina, the way the paint can change color over the years adding character plus the pearl and it's surround are never like the gens.
They're not expensive to buy and they come up fairly frequently at auction on Ebay - fakes are extremely rare as it's so obvious that they're fakes.
This guy sells about 25% above market value - you can find cheaper if you are patient : http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-ROL...ITIUM-FLAT-4-GOOD-TRITIUM-PEARL-/182376577979

Guys - Decided to cancel my seadweller upgrade so am selling a set of brand new TC hands and dial here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/355316-TC-Seadwelller-Dial-and-Hands-16600
Just got all parts collected for my SD franken. It's on the route to Adrian now.
Unfortunately it's not possible to shoot Adrian a pm here because his inbox is full.
So Adrian if you read this, pls empty your inbox [emoji1]

I heard he is very busy in the moment and I don't know how long it takes usually but I hope he will find some time for my project soon. Nevertheless I'll keep you updated [emoji6]

I have an image in my head now of a watch smith with shades and a loupe.
Too funny.
