Did TC brush as per gen too?

The TC V6 case, V6 Bracelet and V7 bracelet came direct from China The V7 case was made in china but finished in California, I sometimes wonder how raw the case was when it came to California and if it wasn't here that the cutout screw up occurred

@chris3007 @Johnny Depp Thank you this has substance unlike the turtles and negative commentary from people who talk but do nothing

What you have against Turtles?

Close but no, I think the refinish that Zocker did was closer to genuine. But even from one gen 16610 to the next you see a difference immediately after a rebrush or comparing new old stock to a Rolex rebrush.

What about the ginault?

The end of the day, i think the general consensus is it isnt exact like gen, but it is better than stock. Now to put a value on that, that i guess is up to what people want to pay for it. Myself, personally, I know that with about 20-30minutes worth of time, I can get the bracelet/case to the same level as a lot of these "per gen" brushings, but maybe others are feel that they would rather spend 100+ on it.

I like to hear you finally got your V6 back from Zock :thumbsup:

The V6 was a long time ago well over a year and a half My only complaint was he said six weeks or less and took 12, The SD case...was a year ago this past july returned to Adrian after 15 weeks and nothing, that upset me but Adrian turned it into something incredible for me.

Beauty! I've always wanted a decent SD, but the BP doesn't do it for me and TC seems to be gone once and for all.
Why does no f'ing factory decently rep this goddess? :(

Turtles are Satan's little helpers don't be fooled!!!!

I love the Ginault with the sand lume and no date but refuse to buy one since he left us high and dry.

I don't mind spending the money if the work is well done like @Johnny Depp , I think as I said the difficulty is getting the case right.

I have seen the same horrible work you have seen in that recent sale and agree with you completely but I know "AS PER GEN" can be done it's not magic.

i do do it myself and buy the gen but that isnt the question since I am also not charging people 100+ to do it.

If you can charge people 100+ to brush a bracelet and case, all the power to you.

To be fair, I have a gen Tudor and I guess the bracelet polish is the same as a Rolex. I also have a gen NOOB v6s and I can see the difference. The gen is more white, uniform, whereas in the v6s you can clearly see the lines.

All this is to say that, looking at @Johnny Depp's work, I'd say is remarkably close to the gen Tudor I have. And nothing to do with the v6s.
