yea tc has the gen construction on the bezel. easy swap. im waiting for the next batch of tc watches. right now i got a rsh modded 16610 that is pretty nice.
TC is more accurate but either of the two is fine to satisfy your rep hobby.
Then try to save up for a gen, even if it will just be a simple old datejust. One cannot simply buy peace of mind and sense of self accomplishment.

I have a TC LV and Bk LN 16610, both are with BK right now getting frankensteined but as soon as I get them back I'll do a side by side comparison.
For the price you can't beat a TC however I wouldn't count-out a BK if you really want a LN asap and don't mind the higher cost. The BK TW bezel assembly is more gen looking than TC. Some will try to argue that the TC LV shallow-teeth bezel is based off a Y series (mark I) however the TC LV dial is a mark VI so the parts don't match. BK sub case dimensions is not accurate, however incorrect crown height is not something 99.9% of people will notice.
If time is not so much an issue I would possibly get a TC sub, throw on a Correctime bezel assembly, and just source a LN dial. Cost for all parts should come out to about the same as a BK 16610LN.

Looking forward to seeing a side by side of the two, always wondered how they would compare.
Junio you have wm9 v3 case based tc sub or I am wrong??
Also guys I used to have every version of supersub in my procession and my opinion is that you should never underestimate old wm9 watches

Interesting post. I have the bk and it is very very good. Like to see a side by side comparison as well.
One more question for you guys... I have a GEN pearl and am in need of a good bezel insert to mount it to. Who makes the best these days. Just from searching it looks like wholesaleoutlet990 makes a good one but those posts were a few years old. They still any good? Thinking about ordering one to compare next to my GEN 16610 bezel.
