Nice Collection, even though different from mine (I'm a strap guy mainly). I like to see a vote for TC by collection, not that there is any shortage of votes for TC! I'm currently thinking about adding one to my collection. If it was me I couldn't sell my Rep collection for a Tudor. They are really priced rather well, and I'd save for one or finance when the AD runs a 0% interest special (just had 18 months). I like a variety of watches and too much time has been invested in my Reps to exchange for one Gen, especially one that is priced in an affordable range.

You gotta try a TC brother. Even a TC V6 looks good on different straps if that's what your into. I was actually just saying that I wanted to experiment with different straps. It makes the whole watch look/feel different

The KH dials TC has been getting from his UK supplier are pretty amazing. Imo, the yachtmaster (KH dial is v2 I think) is the one to get first. I also have a KH dial 16610LV (also v2 I believe)

I'm very tempted. The list can get long very easily, it's hard to make a decision sometimes, but the more I think about it a TC sounds good. Straps are a dangerous road, I could easily have a TC if I unloaded some straps and cancelled a custom order I'm in the middle of making.

I would really like a tc lv

I know you do brother. If I was you I would order directly from TC. There's nothing like opening up a brand spanking new TC and there's no fear of him screwing you because he would have way too much to lose. You have had some rough luck here but stick to the hobby, you won't regret it

I need a gen bluesy but a Franken would work just fine for now haha

I've seen some gen 16613s in Canada listed at 8,500 CAD from reputable dealers and pawn shops, meaning you could get one for like 5900 USD if you cross the border.

Thats a good deal. I will have a gen bluesy in 2016. Mark my words. That might be the only watch I own, but I will own it haha

How does it wear vs a sub?

36mm vs 40mm but it's not that huge of a difference. If your used to 5 digit subs then the Datejust wouldn't feel too small but if your used to ceramics then it's gunna feel tiny haha. Either way I love it to death and it gets atleast 2-3 days a week wrist time
