Hello gents!
I have a question about this watch!
It is 16610 TC?

Looking at the date font I would say no. But then TC DW did have bolder fonts which might be consistent....see what the experts here say

Can you open it up to see the movement? I'm thinking it's a BP from what I see. TC had a somewhat thick font, yes, but I've only seen that thick of font on a BP.

Lugs are too thick for TC and crown guards are too short and stubby, as mentioned already the date font is not TC the cyclops on the crystal is too distorted around edges to be TC.

Yep, everything DD60 says there is correct (of course) - plus that insert pearl and its surround are miles off TC quality too. The overall look of is of a sub-BP level rep.

Please tell us you haven't paid TC money for this.

Okay here is a picture I have of a TC version 6 I used to own. I'll let the date font and crown guard speak for itself. The only way I can really say to put to rest would be to open it up and show the movement. Let's see if it has the expected TC movement or something else. I still stand by my earlier impression that the font looks more like ones I've seen in BP then TC
