Posted this over on Lucy's sales reviews, but thought I'd go ahead and place it here in the Tag section as well.
I ordered two Tag's from Lucy - a Calibre 1, and a quartz Carrera Cal 1887.
The Calibre 1 I've ordered from her before, but my friend liked it so much that I sold it to him...and bought another from Lucy! It's an exceptional rep - comes from the V6 Factory. Sports an A6498 hand-wind movement, and has been keeping very accurate time. Everything is spot on, but as usual the minute hand is just a bit shorter than gen (should reach to the end of the hour markers), but not very noticeable. Even the back of the watch is exceptional - engravings are clear, and is very close to gen. The Calibre 1 initially came with the wrong clasp, but Lucy took it back and got me the correct clasp at no charge.
The Cal 1887 Quartz I was a bit hesitant on. I usually don't order quartz reps (usually due to the extreme lack of quality and replication), but once I saw the QC pics of the Cal 1887, I knew it would be just fine. Of course it's not 100% correct (lack of 15 marker at 3 o'clock, "quartz" written at the 9 o'clock instead of automatic"), but for a daily beater, I don't think you can find a better Tag quartz for the price. There are other dealers selling slightly revised versions of the Quartz version, but I went with Lucy knowing that she would always find the best quality one.
And now, I'll let the pictures do the talking
