After 87 days my V6 with all the latest parts has arrived, including elabore movement (which I never specifically ordered).
The quality of this thing is quite astonishing really, I've just sized the bracelet and it's now taking a baby oil bath, the insert, bezel assembly and SEL are so close to genuine it's unbelievable.
The movement winds nicely and all dates are perfectly centred.
I'm currently wearing it on a nato strap to check it's time keeping over the next 24 hours while the bracelet soaks in oil.
Only one thing I could possibly complain about is the crystal in strong light at certain angles shows a slight blue tint. It's nothing really to be honest but hey its a rep right so can't be completely perfect I guess.
I'm going to keep my eye out now for a genuine crystal, does anyone know how much these go for and we're I can find one?
Pics to follow tomorrow when the bracelet is fitted.
I just couldn't resist!
I actually like the silver one(it's not snapped in all the way, needs to be sanded). I'm going to put in a TC pearl and get rid of the red one. Although a red pearl might look good with a red second hand but I'm not going to order another tcv6 with red second hand to find out, lol. Now I need to figure out what is so different about the new TC PA bezel??? TC still sells the old bezel assemblies 2 for $85, the new PA is $125 for one and he said the old rings should not be used with the new assemblies? I thought gen construction is gen construction? My new TC V6ln with PA bezel should be here tomorrow and I'll report if they are comparable or not.
I actually got a reply today from Tc about his updated V6 bracelet with nicer less humped SEL that I asked about on 14th September2015! Better late than never! Haha. He confirmed the update which we all now know about but has not updated his blog yet!

I believe he has up graded the SEL on his current bracelet.
The centre link on my SEL is nice and slim, no longer thick like it used to be on his bracelet
Looks great.
My red handed shark says hello!
