New Tag Carrera white dial purchase PICS

[Mattness]

Hello everyone,

So here is my latest purchase. Purchased through MR and received in about 2-3 weeks time. I love it, its comfortable and looks classy. It will be perfect for wearing to work daily. The clasp is a little light and could be improved, but its an easy upgrade if I want a new clasp or strap. The numbering seems to be good except along the 9-12 area where to me it looks like some of the 5's could be lifted higher than on some of the others. Its almost impossible to tell, I need a magnifying glass to check, but other than that its a great rep.

Check out the pics...

your right the strap is junk...keeps loosening on its own and the clasp doesn't feel secure. Looking into getting another one.

hows the AR? bluish or colorless?

I think the gen have grey subdial at 12 and 6, the rep are almost black.

but its still good, enjoy it. it has day date that is important to daily use

you are correct about the grey in the dials of the gen, but its a small discrepancy IMO.

to comment on the double AR, its quite nice. compared to my U-Boat with no AR its much less reflective and clear in certain angles.

I just ordered one with a leather strap also.. do you know if the gen strap would fit?

Its a stunning rep.

As to the numbers you mention, the Gen is the same, so don't worry about those 5's.

yes I believe the gen strap would fit, but they are pricy. I have to decide if I want a custom strap made or source out a cheap gen from somewhere. I am not sure how long this one will last as a daily.

Gen straps will indeed fit, and agree they are pricey new, however, with some searching you can pick up a bargain. I just bagged myself a genuine Tag Heuer Carrera Bracelet worth $450 for just $150 NEW

Congrats, I have been coveting this one for the last month (in white also), Im going to get one for sure!
Planning to get it on bracelet and get an aftermarket strap. While on the whole im not a tag man, this watch I really love, very masculine, sporty and tough.
Enjoy thanks for review, and I hope to join you soon!

ps, does it have a screw down crown or popout?

wow thats a great score, do you mind me asking where you found it? I need to keep my eyes peeled for a deal like that.

 

[Mattness]

this Tag cost me about $277 from MR and yes it is 7750. It has a popout style crown.

AR on these new ones is amazing. I just bought ETA DWs from Ebay and sent the watch to a watchsmith to instal those.
