Oh wow. Did you have a v2 insert before the gen insert? Is it worth the price tag?

I can't answer that question rationally :p If you ask me, this whole watch is irrational :)

The insert was ~400 and the crystal was ~300 - the service to install misiekped was another hun. He does a fantastic job of flushing the bezel to the case by using a smaller gasket, and regulating the movement (and whatever other magic he works)...

The insert is debatable, depending on your existing LV V2. Some are darker than others. The crystal is definitely worth the upgrade.

It is irrational but it is spectacular. The crystal upgrade and tweaking by Mike is a no brainer

Gen LV inserts are going for stupid money right now. I've seen them as high as $700. I'll have to wait and see how mine looks whether it's a bit lighter or darker than gen. Funny thing is I don't really like that green color in general. But for some reason on the watch it just pops and looks good. Irrational watch indeed.....

I don't care for green bezel watches but I like the maxi dial. I usually have a black or blue insert in mine. If ever I decide to sell this watch the insert will be like new.

Quick question, TC SUBs don't have the "ROLEX" engraving all around the dial?
Brother. Go to tc's blog and read everything all the info you'll need I'd available.

And to answer your question, no it does not. The model he is replicating existed before the rehaut engravings

Haha, we are so irrational! I do not ever wear green in clothing, never was a big fan when I saw a friend's LV...But now I "have to have one".
Life is good when we can obsess over rep watches.

Did you read his blog before emailing him? He doesn't like it when you do so. Do some more research first, it will do you some good :)

That said, the tc sub is a fantastic watch if that's what you are after.

Thanks thanks [MENTION=70346]xj4sonx[/MENTION] and [MENTION=96825]MaronAckay[/MENTION]

I was just telling my wife last night how much more fun the chase of the watch than the catch. Buying parts, negotiating, waiting.... and then when you get the watch, it's like... "hmph, that was a lot of cash, and I still like my LN better"

Mark One dial from Rolex. The Mark I is a tritium dial anyway... I thought the TC dial was more of a Mark III

Yea, who is mark was suppose to be a joke but apparently a very bad one, lol!

Alright guys, jokes on me for not reading through before hand, but yeah on his blog he mentioned his subs are to replicate the Mark I's.
