I have a TC M-Series 16610, a V3 LV with his insert, and have now ordered this V5. His stuff is spot on, and with the V5 I am thinking of putting the M-series up for sale, runs like perfection, but having 2 16610 LN's may be a bit excessive. I can say though his stuff is awesome, and well worth the wait.

Cheaper parts= bigger profits, even for people who claim to not be worried with that nasty little equation....

I can say one thing for sure and that is TC is one busy guy.
Ordered a YM this past weekend.

Ordered my V5 yesterday and waiting will be hard! I picked up a couple cheap inserts from the bay until I decide what I want and/or find the cash for a gen. Any suggestions on a good black or green insert that is a little cheaper than a gen one? Finding a gen green is proving to be harder than affording one. Thanks fellas!

Unfortunately, the gen LV (green) insert hue is a bit off from the rep versions. They are also harder to find and more expensive.

why not go with TC's vintage insert? Granted that the insert is a bit round, the pearl is great.

Anybody ordered a TC v5 with KH dial? I placed my order 1.5 months ago and it seems that TC still can't confirm as when the KH dial will be available to build one. Waiting in agony.....

I got mine

Received my Caddell Rouge about 10 days ago. Really love the red seconds and black DW. Stuck her on an old Rally strap with red stiching. Works for me. Looking to put a gen insert and crystal with cyclo in the future. One thing I notice comparing my TC LV to the Caddel and HK dial is the print on the HK is noticable whiter - which I very much like. Cheers -

I pretty sure if Timex could be removed and TC could be inserted in it's place we'd love it!

I believe TCs current turn around time is approx 30 days. Don't hold him to that though because I'm going off hearsay.

I started to order a TC 16610LV but was able to change my order to a TC Sub v5. So I already have it.

I own a gen 2009 V-Series Sub. And got the TC Sub Type 5 the last days. Overall TC did a great job on answering emails fast giving me quick updates and the watch is also very nice done. I do not blame TC in any way. But the bracelet I`m not happy with. It feels kind of cheap and I cant bend the end links like on my gen. To show you that best, have a look on my picture. It is the same on both sides, the links wont go down like on my gen. Is that because the TC Type 5 sub is an older Version of the Sub with no rehaut engraving and that gives this kind of bracelet?

TC Sub is on the right side:
