Maybe I am incorrect, but my hunch tells me that the Brown Carrera Chrono is probably not a top seller - that 's what I called this an "oddball" Tag. I really dig the retro look and if it is not very popular, that is all the better to me for this purchase.

Just ordered one up from asia7750 - my second rep order, but still no reps in hand just yet (Ordered a 42mm PO from Trevor last week).

Anyway, the price was great. $190 for it versus the $270 for the day date. Not sure why it is so much less but my assumption is the case size being less popular nowadays. 43mm for day date vs 41mm for the one I bought.

Anyone else know if something is different about this watch? Any reason this is not "as good" as the $270 ones, other than personal preferences?

I have no idea why this is such a bargain. But it is!
Looking forward to your review and more pics when it arrives.

Sweet looking watch, was the brown the only option available at that price?

They have about 10 at either 190 and 198. I am finding it very difficult to keep from ordering this absolute beauty as well..

Smaller lug and bracelet size, open caseback on these shows the bearing flaw and the build quality is just not quite on a par with the day date IMO... Although flawed, the day/date feels much more gen like (although I still have the carerra chrono as well and is a nice watch) and the bracelets are typically rep (etched engravings on the rep, less pronounced than the Gen stamping)

I don't think you can go wrong with these though - you definitely won't regret your purchase, but if an opportunity presents itself to buy a nice day/date at the right price, I'd definitely recommend one of these too!

Congrats on a great purchase! :)

I have the racing version and love it but looking at selling it soon to upgrade to the day date due to it being bigger....

The brown one is a nice watch but I think someone was selling one on here the other day due to the brown being a bit off from the the Gen.
