Movement is 2824-2 ETA, chronometer. Anyway, He valve is overrated. Look at some watches. They don't even have this feature but can withstand pressure up to 2000m (Sinn and IWC just to name 2 examples).

Oh yeah, well your garbage can smells and your out of beer! So there. :lol:

the gold combo is pretty nice.

Ditto, it was the only one (or at least the best combo) that caught my eyes...

But I´d so rather the Crown had the same shape as the HE valve! I really don´t mind the HE valve being there, but its design is just eye-catching! Fantastic piece/detail of the watch!

Cheers,
Spirit.

Na, sorry R2. It's far from being a favorite Tag. Don't know why, I just don't like it.

That's understandable. Love them or Not Like them. :D The cyclops isn't my favorite thing but on the other hand it is starting to grown on me. I just wanted to share. :wink:


LOL, actualy this was such an instant dislike that I didn't even get to notice that the sill buggers have the date on the wrong side of the dial :)
Still not realy shure why I don't like this one. I think it's because it just dosn't look like a Tag should (to me).

Bringing this one back.

Anyone seen the blue version rep'd with SS band, and know what the quality's like. Blue dials isn't allways the favorit of the rep factories :)

hont has just posted a thread regarding the higher quality rep for this watch with eta movement. he hasn't posted any photos of the blue version. judging from the pictures he's provided tho, the black seems the most accurate to gen. there is no white version of the gen. the gen is silver/grey in colour.

its still a new rep and i don't think anyone has picked one up yet.

Neat watch. For anyone that's interested, here's a micro TAG logo...

Just bought the fantasy quartz chrono version from TS at a factory price : 54 USD !
I hope to be able to post first feelings end of this week, although I think the level of quality might be different.
I like the design, simple yet original for a sub.

I'm particularly concerned by the quality of the rubber and the cyclop. If it wears well, I am very likely to buy the automatic non chrono version.

Be careful if you go for this quartz : some versions have a very wrong caseback (same as the Aquaracer 300m)
