i have not been able to find an original of this watch

and whats up with this military time thing....is that just a cheap way to avoid a true chronograph or did tag actually make a watch like this

the first one is a very bad version of the gen carrera "racing" chrono. the second is better but still way off on the subdials. the A7750 version is the only one that's almost dead nuts on. I know because I did lots of comparing before buying one myself....sadly, it was stolen :crying: .
since you're looking at WE, here's a link to the correct one http://www.watcheden.com/tag-heuer-carrera-chronograph-asia-valjoux-7750-movement-with-black-dial-and-bezel-i-10143-p-1.html

There is definitely a gen version to this - I had it on my wrist not two weeks ago (at the AD's, lol, not at home )

no idea what you're referring to as the "military time thing". i don't see any military time anything on either pic you linked. if you're talking about the subdial that goes up to 24 on one of the previous pics, that would be an hour counter for the chrono i assume..which is incorrect.
on a very quick cursory look they're ok, but if you look just for a couple seconds and know what the gen looks like, you'll realize it's wrong.
here's what it should look like: http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/carrera/men/automatic-chronograph-tachymetre/index.lbl?w=CV2014.BA0786

as you can see, it's not hard to spot the differences. the A7750 version is the only accurate rep of that model.

the military time as advertised has the subdial working as an hour counter. there is actually no chrongraph. the second hand (what should be for the chronograph) has a smooth sweep motion.

basically your telling me these watches are pretty crappy. too bad i didnt find your site first

It depends on what you paid for them as to whether they are crappy - you can't always expect the cheapest ones to function fully - remember replica watches are often just that - items that LOOK like the original. They won't/don't always WORK like the original

As a newbie who has done hours of reading on this and two other favoured forums I have learnt that you can get a really nice low cost rep of a SIMPLE watch (like the Omega SMP for example) but if you want the complicated versions (such as those with chronographs, or functions at different locations) you often have to opt for the better movements and pay more money.

HTH.
