I don’t mean to bombard your thread with a huge post but if you want this info I have read a bunch of old threads and taken some notes.
If you don’t want me clogging up your thread just say so and I’ll edit it out.
TC info
TC movements use a H4 canon pinion to raise the hands slightly. Finding a regular eta with H4 is difficult
Bracelet
V2 bracelet has worse end links
They sit higher I think and have a slight gap
V2 clasp code DE6??
V2 Swiss made is one word swissmade
No engravings inside SEL
V3 clasp swiss made is two words
Swiss Made
V3 clasp code PJ4
V3 releases around mid July 2012
V3 SEL is 20.15mm Gen is 20mm
No engravings inside SEL
V3 coronet not as protruding as V2
V4 bracelet is a new maker
It has variances and needs to be matched with the case to fit well.
V4 has better coronet
V4 first link does not fold all the way in
DWO
Some claim V1 and V2 DWO are a tad left justified. Moving the dial slightly to the left will fix.
V1 and V2 were supplied by original 16610 mid case maker
V3 came out maybe around June 2013 by new supplier, better date font with more sarif and still slightly left justified in window
DWO V4 (sub V6) has correct white base colour, font is genuine, print is raised in high gloss, is centered
Versions
Old versions may have a ladies eta 2876 movement.
Around the same time there were factory direct 16610LV that has different case with higher crown? Crown is inset in case too far?
WM9 V3???
TC started using the V series case and LV parts to make V series 1 LV watches.
2012 LN inserts were not great
Even TC admits it’s worth going gen insert
TC crystals at this time were also not amazing.
16610LN V4 case was around July 2012 I think but can’t confirm
16610LV type 3 came out a few months before Aug 2013
It had TC2824 with H4, DWO V3, TC V4 bracelet, TC bezel assembly with custom click spring.
TC still recommends a gen LN or LV insert
Aug 18 2013
Running out of both dials, piecing together good stuff from multiple reject dials.
Making of 16610LN version V (V5)
Making of 16610LV type 3
These are spec’s the same.
These use non KH dials???
Nov 2013 - KH dials start here only on the Caddell Sub models-
25-295
25-286
25-295 rouge
25-286 rouge
TC V6 sub LN
Aug 25, 2014 - official start date of V6 with KH dials
TC V6 w KH dial and TCV1 insert and DWO V4
2015 TCV2 insert (chamfer around pearl holder)
Aug 2016 TC V7
Won’t take gen 3135 movement screws
better bezel, deeper scallops
Capped H4 pinion
TC hand set V3
KH dials (2016)
Case made in china but final finish and polish done in the US
Case lugs 20.05 so uses V6 bracelet and V6 clasp
Later V6 and V7 updated to PA bezels which will accept a gen bezel ring without having to use gen retainer
Next
TC V7 extreme
Which won’t fit gen 3135 screws
