Show us all your best Sub!

:ttiwwop:




For me.. It’s either my TC or VSF.
I can’t decide which is best. That's like asking to choose between your kids.. :thinking:

I have a VSF 126610 on order right now. Can't wait to get it.

Oh, I wish to be at your situation. I am about to place an order but am a bit nervous since it will be my first time. So double checking every text :))

If the TC wasn't a Rouge, then it would be no contest. But, because it's the silly, modded, "Ooh look at me I'm 'Thomas Cadell' and I want to be a real watch designer not just a rep factory so I'll stick a Yacht-Master second hand and a black DWO on this Sub rep" version...

I still prefer the TC.

(I have the TC parts to convert my Rouge back to a proper Sub. It's on the to-do list...)

And RainbowNato I've never seen a ceramic Sub on a brown leather strap. And now I have, I can see why I haven't. Maybe you should switch it onto a rainbow Nato.

Aren't we comparing apples with bananas when TC sub is a 5 digit vs VSF 6?

I wasn’t comparing or asking. It’s not which factory has the best Sub, it’s who (which forum member) has the best Sub?…

It could be you..

My best Sub is my TC or VSF, I can’t decide.

I see, but at least for me anyway I would have a natural bias as the models are different. I would prefer a 5 digit vs 6 due to its design, but I would definitely be more bias with a 4 digit over 5 and 6, a negative relief dial for me trumps the tritium and the modern luminova.

I have plans to un-rouge this TC ..with gen parts. Given the choice I’d have bought a standard one but they not very available as we all know. I was very lucky to find this slightly odd one more or less unworn, beggars can’t be choosers, they say. So far, I have installed a gen crystal and VSF crown and tube on it.

Put them on a drip feed a few at a time, there will be plenty space over the next few pages I’m sure. They deserve to be shown!

I see the most beautiful Subs pass by in this thread! Very inspirational :)

But I am curious; for example the LV Kermit or LB are your bezel inserts customised/modified for color or are they stock factory?

I'm pretty sure we had this same conversation on another thread... :) Your plan to go with gen parts is certainly the best. I was lucky enough to get the TC parts as a gift, so it's a no-cost easy parts swap (well, if getting a DWO in the correct position could be described as "easy"...).

The Kermit insert is the original stock TC. These turn up quite regularly on eBay being sold as gen - they're a pretty good copy. The 16613LN TT insert is gen.
