What do you guys think of this?
http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/ ... A10.BA0796

Overly cluttered, or a refreshing change?

I personally think it looks too busy.

...and there are two 7750 rep versions about, one from

http://img.watcheden.com/products/22768/2.jpg

and the other from the twins...but neither rep is correct! Biggest flaw is the size: 41mm instead of 43mm!

the other differences being in the sub dials and some wording. Graduation markings the wrong way around, missing rings and "certified" in place of "automatic" ! ....and then there's the badly applied markers on both reps; also check out the wording below the date windows! WTF?!

It seems to me that both of these reps have been rushed out - looking like a pile of sh*t.

:roll:

i totally agree.
i kind of like the gen, could even be persuaded to want one but looking at that rep, there's no way i could wear that.

I really like this one a lot.

Too bad there are so many issues with the current reps.
Do you think there will be enough interest in this model that they correct the problems?

Tag has done that with the Aquaracer as well. Really messed the lines up.

I think TAG took a step backwards by doing this. I cant stand the arabic numerals on this watch. It makes it look cheap.

Wow, you guys really don't like it that much?

I think it looks sharp.
I prefer the numbers on dial vs the previous models.

The problem is that the rep don't look like the original at all ... they are much to much mistake.
So it's maybe a good invention of a watch looking like a Tag but not a rep of a Tag :cry:

To much going on and it seems squeezed in on the dial. I liked TAG when they first started here in Australia but of late they have lost some of their design edge. Give me a Graham anyday. Just a noobs opinion.

Not a fan of this model. It is a bit busy, but that doesn't bother me. There is something unbalanced, cheap-looking, and just not right about the design. I can't put my finger on it, but it definitely does not have the look of an expensive, top-quality watch.
I'll pass.

It looks so cheesy.. Why on earth did they add the numerals?
