I figured this would be the place to ask this if it's anything like the Rolex forum you guys will know it all! I was originally looking for a Gen Tag Carerra Calibre 36 but no AD had it or could find one I ended up buying my other watch and a Gen Tag Link Calibre S today is the first time I have worn it the face is Black but it seems to change to Blue why is this? also the face has to smaller dials at the bottom I do not know what they do it seems like a stop watch. I thought the watch was a good looking dress watch so I bought it only on looks. I will try and get the color change in pictures and post them thanks for the help

No it is a regular Gen the dial did come out looking that way in the photo for some reason but it is the regular black dial. I have no idea why it turns blue?
Nice watch,
I have one, late model with blue dial, take a look.
Supposing it is a gen, the sub dials below are chrono sub dials, serve to measure a regatta's start (countdown to 10 minutes) and to show date (when the chrono isn't in use), take a look at the pic above, the day is 4 (0 on the left and 4 on the right sub dial).
It has a perpetual calendar till 2099 and yours look like it is not properly adjusted (take a look at left side sub dial hand), in this sense you shall adjust it according manual's instruction.
I didn't found the manual online, to download, but found some threads at WU.

Just to add an info.
The movements are the same, but mine has the countdown regatta, and yours don't, just a regular chrono.
But I bet yours need adjusting the date, calendar etc......
Cheers,

It's probably the AR coating that makes the dial look blue instead of black at certain angles. I've been looking at picking up the gen yellow dial calibre S Aquaracer. I saw the Regatta at the Tag outlet last month for $979. I almost bought it. But I really like the yellow one and they wanted $1600 for that one.
