Looking for a good rep of the TAG HEUER CARRERA CALIBRE 16 DAY-DATE AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH

[Rep_Addict]

Hello all

I have been looking everywhere on all the TD's websites and contacted them via email.

I'm looking for a Tag Carrera Calibre 16 Day date SS bracelet with black dial. I've seen a few V6F's, but the they all have brushed sides on the case and not polished like the original. The 1887 gen has brushed sides, where the gen day date has polished sides. Checked a gen one out in a local store.

Any help would be great, as I said I've checked the TD's out and posts on here.

Do you have a link of the TD's website? Maybe pictures of the two difference? I'm just started my research for the the same watch. Also looking on chrono24.com which the gen's price is quite affordable.

All Calibre 16 reps I have seen have the flaw of having Cal.1887 engraved on the rotor instead of Cal 16. This is why I picked the Cal. 1887 rep instead with the date only.

Indeed, but quality is nice

This very flaw is also holding me back from buying this new V2 version of Calibre 16 daydate which the Rep Dealers are offering. It is a grave flaw, dont know how/why it happened. I still have one V1 with me which had calibre 16 engraved on the rotor. If you can find out a place or a seller who is offering the old version for sale, please do inform me.

Thanks.

Yep if it hadn't been for you mentioning this major flaw on another thread mate, I would have made a big mistake purchasing a Calibre 16 rep, so i owe you a debt of gratitude

It didn't hold me back. I purchased the Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date SS V6F 1:1 Best Edition Ceramic Bezel Black Dial on SS Bracelet A7750 from INTIME. For me, great quality rep.

Let's see some pics

The only really downside for me is the case is brushed not polished...

I've just noticed on a zoom how crooked the numerals are on the dial. I'ts not the effect of the sapphire glass is it?

Feeling a bit deflated now. What I thought was a high quality rep isn't really the case now.

 

[lgicc]

The bright side is that it works. It's just the amount I paid doesn't justify that flaw. I didn't notice it in the QC pics. If I paid half the amount or less then I can handle that inferior detail.

Any thoughts / comments appreciated.

Is it so that the old one is not available anymore? Guess I need to keep this then :drinks_cheers:

Nice...

Hi guys, also the same for me. I have this model on my wish list, but the wrong engraving for the 1887 rotor and the brushed case is holding me back.

I cannot understnad how they made the wrong rotor engraving!!! This model is just a perfect choice for replication when it is a 16 caliber as this caliber is a ETA 7750 (for the first produced watches...) If so, Why the they put the wrong caliber 1887??? It's writing the wrong movemet when actually it is the correct replica movement asian 7750 fitted in the watch! ... Please if someone finds the correct one let us know!

Hi all, interested on the same watch.
I found this one on a TD site (i hope i can post the link). It seems the case polished as the original one and even the engraving is correct.
Any other tell in your opinion?

Looks promising, as you say engraving is correct (checking on web looks like the font is a little too bold comapred to genuine see this - https://watch-deals.com/watch-compo...e-16-oscillating-mass-rotor-valjoux-7750.html -). Rest looks nice but I am not an expert on this... Maybe someone with more experience can tell. Which factory is it? Did you PM the dealer?
