How to verify TC V7 Extreme

[Sven770714]

Honest seller who sold this to you. It is indeed a V7X.

Uncapped - see the “hole” on the seconds in the middle of the hand stack? On a Gen Rolex that is “capped”.

TC delivered V7xs with both capped and uncapped seconds hands (rather inconsistently). Most likely a result of excess parts laying around. He wasn’t a massive factory - more a curator/engineer who sought to produce parts as close to Gen as possible.

Thanks for your kind comment.

And your answers. Very interesting. Would you have a picture of a capped stack to compare and so I can see what was omitted from mine. I’ve been looking at close ups of gems on chrono and still can’t see the difference.

I was buying cheapish reps from people on gumtree. I didn’t trust the we sites and I didn’t really know about this site and to be honest was too impatient to learn all about it. I bought a crap 116610. I pulled the crown right out trying to wind. then a crap yachtmaster42 the bezel insert of that got bleached by the pool. Then got a steinhart then saw the ad on gumtree saying this was a TC V7Extreme. The ad said if you don’t know what that is google it so I did. The guy was down in London and he sent it up to Glasgow. All smooth.

I love it but the irony is it’s a bit too flashy for work. I dont want clients to think they’re over paying me. I’ve got a nice old iwc from the 40s for daytime and the V7x is for weekends

Sorry for the life story. Lols

Here’s the iwc by the way. It’s gen and was much cheaper than the V7. £650 on any from Spanish dealer. I intend to be buried with this unless one of my boys nabs it first.

IWC seems a very nice catch. Regarding your V7, I have some doubts on the bracelet. The fitting is really poor from the angles so consider that either the seller has swapped the bracelet or the case hase some kind of misalignment.

On a side note, never heard of gumtree before.

Gumtree is a British based online platform for selling your stuff. Usually to local people who come round and pick it up in person. It’s owned by eBay now I think and they cracked down on any rep selling so I’m pretty sure it’s just gens or ‘gens’ on there now.

I suppose the previous owner or perhaps even the one before that could have changed the bracelet if you think it’s not original. I’m just not sure why anyone would do that but I suppose it’s possible.

I can show more pics of the bracelet if it helps.

Some more pics of the bracelet.

It’s got some quite sharp detail.

How could I refuse

Post some pics of the dial, and bezel ring. I’ll tell you.

Hi, I bought my 16610 from TC in 2015, I think it is a v6 as I checked my mails and at that time he was advertising his new V6 , can you tell me what version mine is, I will join you some pictures

You are unsure what comes after "Red Flag"?
The word you may be searching is "cunt".

Sadly there MAY be new / unexperienced forum members that he could reach out and that would make a backdoor sale. Just my thoughts, but to protect all members I would ban this guy or pull off the rights sending PMs. Just my 2 cents.

I think you also owe me an apology for calling me a CUNT.
Or do you think that’s acceptable behaviour?
Personally, I don’t think that’s acceptable behaviour and I don’t thank it would be acceptable to most of the people frequenting this forum.

I apologize. I just have read to much of sscamming people in here and could not imagine this coming out. I am sorry about that.

Hi Aborock, it’s hard to give you any feedback from these images. Do you have any pics of the complete watch?
