Advice Needed!

[winnet]

Hello

I want to buy my brother who is out in Afghanistan a nice rep for xmas. He is sort of getting into reps and has a Rolex Datejust from price angels, which I have to say is remarkably good for $50! He also has a Monaco which he loves so I'm going with another Tag.

My father has a gen Tag Heuer Calibre 8 with a blue face. I desperately need to know where I can get a rep of this watch as he loves it.

http://www.timeshops.net/carrera/26...-brown-7750-casing---asian-21j-automatic.html

I emailed Mark from timeshops back in August asking about the watch above but with a blue face and they had no stock, emailed again today and he said he still doesn't have stock and but he does have it with a brown face. I really want a blue one but haven't got the skills for the mod or the knowledge to source the dial.

Does anyone know where I can get a Calibre 8 with a blue dial; if not I guess I can buy the brown, but the blue would be awesome as I believe the brown is a fantasy.

Check the list of TDs and try asking them. Timeshops might not have it but maybe someone else does.

Thanks rick, can anyone reccomend a TD who have a +ve rep for tags?

Ok found one from puretime. But it seems very cheap (maybe too cheap?). I have compared it to the gen and is is very hard to tell from these photos but the Tag badge is different - a very obvious flaw that I would like to avoid.

Can someone recommend a dealer for a calibre 8?

Thanks guys!

It does not come in any version bar the cheaper ones you have found I dont think mate.
If the flaw your pointing out is the lack of a dark background on the rep badge they all have them i have found. The date window is another obvious flaw in pics. On the wrist these things are not noticable though.

Thanks. At least you've saved me a lot of time and emails pestering the dealers. Much appreciated.

The flaw I was pointing out is the badge, seems like such a basic thing to get right?? They even have the same badging issues on the more expensive reps!

Anyone got a Grand Carrera that is closer to 1:1? Seems like these tags are hard to imitate.

PAMS are a much easier copy although he (my bro) doesn't like them (I currently have the PAM addition - it really is like a sickness).

Any pointers appreciated.

Pricey tho - Is Hont generally decent? Anyone got a Tag from him?

bump - Anyone got any experiences ordering from Hont. Would be good to get some reassurance before I take the plunge.
