Hey Guys,

Finally i did it and ordered the watch i have been after for so long.

Can't wait to get it!!!

Here are the QC pics i was given by MR. Should i be concerned about the gap between the bracelet and lug?? Is that normal or just how the picture looks?

Good choice! I see that end-link to lug fitment your speaking of. It does look a bit loose no matter what angle or position it is in. The endlink was not made correctly. It should be almost touching the lug on both sides. I also noticed the day date appeture. There are flaws either with the dial opening or misaligned on the movement. The tag logo looks a bit shifty also... I would still accept and love it like a child!it does look nice! :lol:

Yeah the end link to lug is kind of disappointing me i guess i might just have to only wear it with a leather strap. Perhaps a new bracelet could fix the issue? Thoughts? I normally wouldn't be so picky over a watch but i've waited a long time to order this.

I didnt notice anything wrong with the date could you be more specific :p Shows my lack of knowledge lol...

Aren't the TAG logo on all of these a bit shifty?

It looks perfectly fine. The 31 is sitting a tad bit low, but day/dates arent always perfectly aligned rep or gen. There's nothing wrong with the logo or the lugs imo, I think the large photos are exaggerating these things. You could buy gen endlinks if you were so inclined. Movement is good. Dial numbers & hand alignment looks good.

Wear it well Maily! :D

I like this watch very much. Its issues are the bad logo, the poor bracelet and the dish around the subdials (they are flat on the replica, whereas they should be applied). That said, the OP's watch looks as good as the replica can be.

This looks good to my untrained eye apart from the points raised which are very minor. The watch has great presence on the wrist, can't believe I have mine up for sale!

Wish you good health to wear it.

Sorry to ressurect this. To the OP, usually what I saw from this rep is with the strong annoying blueish tint. I have one and replaced crystal with of that uwe ar-ed

From the QC looks it was either tad purple or colorless, so what is in real daylight photos? Is the AR existent? Or is the same as the blue tint?

Wonder if you can supply the link from MR?

It's always ticked me off that they can get the HEUER detail right but not the G in TAG on the badge.
