Show off your TC Subs...

TC has replied back in regards to my wobling bezel. He says it is part of the orig. design and that I should push down with two fingers when turning the bezel.

So I gues that everyone here must have this "issue/trait" with their watch as well..

* In regards to the bird I am quite sure it is a Solsort (Denmark)

Edit:
I have been told by another member here at the forum that the bezel definitely shouldnt wooble/click around like that. On the other side TC says

"This is not an issue but a misconception.

This is the design of the PA bezel assembly that mimics the original Rolex design. You will need to press down evenly with 2-3 fingers to release brake then rotate the bezel. This watch was originally designed for divers so any bezel turning has to be intentional. And because of this design if you only press down on one side it will tilt and keep the brake locked so you won't be able to rotate the bezel.".

I am so confused if the rest of you have the same clicking sound and woobling bezel or if I have to send this to a modder and get it fixed. I would greatly appreciate if people could provide some feedback if this is to be expected: https://vid.me/WOLV

Thanks in advance for this great forum and members

Yeah it's pretty insane.. just heard TC is out of red hands for the moment :-D

I would believe what TC says, A divers watch will never have a bezel that rotates clockwise, it should only rotate counter clockwise so that if there is accidental movement it will only lessen your dive time. The brake explanation sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Unless you have a very well educated Rolex expert who knows all the years and model variations I would believe TC. The 16610 has been his obsession now for years.

i agree, the counterclockwise rotation is totally logical, but I don't think the pressing concept exists in gen submariners, i have held many of them, they rotate normally with no need for pressing.
but in this video it's obvious that the bezel is actually tilting and woobling and making that weird clicking sound every time it gets pressed.
what do you think?

Another red hand

Another red hand

Love it more and more every time I see it. Your markers and hands are turning a creamy aged color? Or is that just a photo effect?

Only noticed that when You said it, lol, lovely ,smooth, creamy colour, now I really wish it had already become like that - but it was just the lighting on this pic.
My 5513 wih 6538 dial on the other hand has this puffy, creamy lume Not a TC but still a Rolex submariner, although a much older one.

 

[Thrasher]

God beautiful watches on this page!

 

[Thrasher]

Beats me my Brother, I'm no expert I just trust TC! I would not think a genuine would make a clicking sound but the brake seems smart!

@ Thrasher, I agree with you and I speak from personal experience when I say TC is a man of his word... And I speculate that this "brake" may be a TC mod/response to a particular rep bezel given. After all, we work with what we are given. The rocking, wobbling, clicking bezel though is certainly not found in gens as go000ob said. I am curious though how many of the TC owners have this. Maybe Munken can run some sort of survey to find out if this is rocking bezel is a fluke or a rule of thumb for TC's?
Btw, Thrasher, am like a kid who can't wait for Xmas Eve to open my gift, he he. I got an email yesterday from USPS - Click-N-Ship Notification, stating that TC will ship my order to my US Address on Monday, April 18, 2016! TC indeed is a man of his word: he said he will try to deliver before May 2, 2016, and he did!

 

[thinwhiteduke]

And, oh, my wait will even be longer. I am in Asia, and my cousin will hand-carry our TC when he leaves on May 2. But my point is, TC delivers. And how!

I love the gold hands!

Had my TC about a month now and love it. I have worn it constantly and my gen Datejust is in the drawer !
My bezel doesn't click or rock like that at all. You did have to push down slightly using three fingers to turn it when I first got it but after me turning it quite a few times it is now smooth and turns without any real pressure but is still secure.
