Tag Carrera Day-Date

[dsmdave]

What's up guys. Just picked up a Tag Heuer Carrera day date. First impression of the watch was wow! The only big flaw that stood out, other than the lack of A/R, was the cheap feeling bracelet.

My question for those who have this model. Is the genuine bracelet cheap feeling as well? I know some brands like Rolex for example have cheap feeling bracelets,but other brands like Omega have solid (heavy weight) bracelets.

Anybody that has a real one,or tried one on for that matter, please chime in and let me know how the bracelets compare.

Thanks Dave

Hi Dave, I have a rep and a gen tag and I can certainly tell the difference between the 2. I wouldn't say there was much difference in the weight, I would say the gen bracelet is slightly heavier however I would say there is the difference in the feel of it.

Like anything though, that's only my opinion and I'm no professional.

the gen is silkier. The rep isn't bad. Give it the dry lube method.

I have used PGR dry lube method on all my keeper! Great method to keep from over lubing the pressed links that don't need over lubing.
Over lubing the pressed together links will make them separate and make big gaps in between the links and will make them come apart!

Tis true my good man.

By the way, there's at least one REALLY good thread comparing rep to gen of these bracelets. OP you should search it down, it was really well done.

Thanks for the replies guys. P4GTR I actually signed up over at RWG and found the thread there. You are right it is very informative and does an excellent job comparing the gen vs rep brackets.
