Hello everyone. I've been looking near and far for this rep, the Asian version with Tachymetre in red. Preferably as close to the original size of 43mm. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Grand Carrera Calibre 17RS2 - Tachymetre in red?
- Thread starter lowwbass
- Start date
I'm looking for the same. Timeshop shows it on the site but seems to have a bunch of flaws (TG5224- Singapore Grand Prix GMT)
Some of which are:
- Subdial screws and trim color seems off as well as spacing compared to gen. The steps on the left subdial don't match gen.
- Hands- second and minute hands seem short on rep
- Red Swiss made marker at 6 o'clock is missing just on inside of bezel of rep
- Can't tell for sure on pic but red stripe on crown seems light compared to gen
- Quartz movement available but not automatic that I can find
- Face shows quartz written and only automatic available on gen
- 5 minute Markers seem a bit off in shape and construction compared to gen
- For $128, not a bad attempt for a beater watch.

I'm still very happy with mine.

And the "flaws" you listed will pretty much be visible to you and you only, fakey has a great post with pics showing that things like a short seconds hand are impossible to tell from 3 - 4 feet away.
I wouldn worry about it unless your really anal 8)
Importr, do you have a link to the updated cal 17 watch ? I'm thinking of buying one from Watcheden, but want to make sure it's the right one .. I only see one with the red tach
