Some tricky information needed..

[thecollector]

Hello maniacs,

just bought a Tag carrera calibre 16 Singapore GP 2009 lim. edition from a fellow member here. It's a superb watch. I know, that this watch was made in stainless steel with green accents limited to 250 pieces in 2009.

The watch i bought ist titanium, a model a lot of the TD's offer too. I couldn't find any information about this watch in titanium at the internet. So i'm wondering now, if the gen ever was produced in titanium too, an when and how many pieces?!

Pleas help me, as i would like to know about the watch i'm wearing if it's accurate or not.

Thx alot

TheCollector

I found this article from the net that shows a Tag Heuer Carrera Singapore GP 2009 limited edition with green accents but it has polished stainless steel case instead of titanium.

And there's a gen Tag Heuer Carrera Singapore GP 2010 limited edition in Titanium but it has red accents instead of green.

Hello,

what you have discovered is a common rep problem - confusion and lack of knowledge about a product before building it.

Your rep is unfortunately not accurate in titanium. The calibre 16 Singapore GP 2009 LE is meant to be in Stainless Steel ONLY, limited to 250 pieces and only sold in Singapore. It was never released in a titanium version.

The watch that WAS released in Titanium was this one:

And YES! A lot of websites state this IS a limited edition! but it IS NOT! this watch is readily available, the reason people believe it is a limited edition is because it is marketed as the 2010 Singapore Day Date, so they assume that because the 2009 was LE, the 2010 will be as well.

Differences:

- Singapore LE is in stainless, this is Titanium. Case for sure, and I believe so for the pushers and crown.
- Singapore LE has green accents. This one has red.
- Singapore LE has a traditional leather strap with green stitching. This one is calfskin, with a carbon fibre weave style pattern, with red stitching.

Hope that helps and sorry for the bad news

THESE are the limited edition watch this year for the Singapore F1

TAG Heuer mMonaco - limited to 100 pieces

TAG Heuer Formula 1 ladies - limited to 250 pieces

Here is the genuine caseback of the TAG Heuer Singapore 2010 Day date

Notice the difference between this one and the green one?

The Titanium 2010 does not say limited edition on the case.

Thanks alot for that information friends.

I thought that already but was unsure if the unlimited titanium version was also made from the original singapore limited 2009 in green. The caseback of mine looks btw exactly the same what you have posted!

Anyway, 1 of 100.000 knows it maybe. This really is a maniac information. It's a perfect watch to scan this one out of the mass :binoc:

Maybe i'll found a gen 43mm carrera case anywhere in the future to swap it, if in the mood or a crystal and dial damaged gen carrera for a major swap.

Anyway thanks alot again
