TC Elabore 2824 Yacht Master 16622 First Look

[zocker4711]

Nice Pics and also nice Watch...

Too Bad that KH maker mixed two Worlds... If he could make some little improvements the YM would be an Super Rep...
From the GEN Platinum Color all the Rep Dials incl. KH Dial are miles away...

Thrasher,

That looks VERY NICE!

However, I resent the fact that it looks exactly like the one I just received this morning (ha, ha).

I am going to have to seek out a 16622 gen for comparison. I think there is one over at MBK.

Thanks man, I use an old Canon T2i with a with the canon kit lens 18x55 with a vivatar 10x filter http://www.ebay.com/itm/52MM-Close-...ed-1-2-4-10-/350885959684?hash=item51b26ed804 the hard part is getting the lighting right , I need to read more, i want to increase my depth of field so the backgrounds look nice, and yes if i had put the camera on the mini tripod that lume shot would of been great.

Does tc engrave this ym case or is it sterile like the Sub?

Sterile. On purpose.

Wow, it is out and first pics around. I´m loving it, just great Thanks for the pics, must have a closer look now.

Watch101,

Looks like your dial has the same 'flaw' as mine...the top-most-point of the printed crown on the dial is just slightly out of alignment with the bottom point of the 12:00 hour-marker. At least on mine it just misses 'center' and leans to the right. I suspect the dial printing is correct and the glued-on hour marker is slightly askewed.

TC's example on the first page of this thread is 'perfect'.

Love the packaging.

Man I really can't decide if this is what I want to spend my $650 on, the money's literally sitting in my paypal!

I have the same flaw. Still a beautiful piece for a great price!

Hi J_,

You are right. However, it is not what TC showed us on the first page of this thread.

The flaw (at least on mine) is so minuscule that I can't even complain about it. Yes, it's not perfect, but it's a replica watch. Try not to suffer from Replica Owner Syndrome. It's already a blessing that he offers this quality of a watch at this price, my friend!

The only way to get a true 1:1 is not from a TD, but from an AD.

I agree- its way too easy to nitpick when these are LARGE close-up pictures. We must remember this is a rep & a GREAT rep if you ask me. Sure the bezel has some pits in it but in all honesty- its unique and each piece has its own character. TC did another amazing job on this build. He stated in his review that the bezel turn was soft and I must say on mine it's quite nice. Not too soft and it really does look WAY better outside when the sun shines off the dial. Anyone else who has theirs- feel free to chime in if you think I'm off on this!

 

[Om3ga_guy]

The click should be an easy fix. I imagine the "bend" on the end of the wire is too wide. The bezel teeth arent grabbing properly. It probably just needs to be sharper for a firmer click.

Anyone who has seen a bidirectional clickspring will know what I mean.

What flaw are you guys talking about?? Oh well, I guess I cant even tell the "misalignement on the dial" is a good thing for me.. This is crazy guys, do you take a loupe to look at your watches? :laugh: Just enjoy these watches

 

[Thrasher]

I'm looking through a loupe right now and mine is dead on unless I tilt my head a little left or a little right then everything goes out of alignment, I can even see a shadow on the Dial, Jeeezzz I want my money back!

Do you think genuine owners eyeball their stuff so much, hell no if they did Rolex would be in big trouble.

 

[watch101]

I'm going to 2nd that ^ .....mine looks dead on too- I think it's the camera angle & shadows.
