Tag Grand Carrera RS2 Calibre 17, Pics inside

[jack_bauer]

Well I finally got my last grail watch. When I started collecting, I said I wouldn't rest until I get a Rolex 2 tone blue sub, A Hublot Big Bang, and a Tag Grand Carrera Calibre 17. I've collected a whole lot of other watches in between, but these three are definitely my favorite. The rotating seconds wheel @ 3 alone is worth the price.

I ordered this watch in the a7750 flavor before from a trusted dealer and had too many problems so I sent it back for a refund. I ordered a quartz version but it arrived with a broken chrono and was siezed by customs on the return trip back to China. I thought I would never get this grail watch, but then out of nowhere I saw a deal over at repgeek that I could not pass up. The seller happened to be local and worked a few blocks from where I worked so I could pick it up and have it on my wrist before Turkey Day.

Beautiful face. Only giveaway is the sunken datewheel

Niceeee watch, this watch come in 2 different colors right?

Now it's time to mod the dw and the ar

I think there are three versions: the PVD RS2, Stainless steel, and rose gold. The watch has an AR, but it's just the standard rep blue tint AR.

I want this one, too - if not for myself, cetainly for a gift

whos got the best one?

does the quartz version have the rolling seconds at 3? or does it jitter around?

Wow..just in time to feed my tag craze. This watch has been on my list for quite awhile now, too bad I chose the normal RS version first.

Where did you purchase your carrera legend? what movement is in it?

 

[jack_bauer]

I picked it up from a member off of repgeek. It's got the modified a7750 with the seconds at 3 o clock.

 

[wat44]

can you ask him where he got it for us?
pleeeeaasssee?

I was talking about the carrera chronograph on the bottom right of the last picture...Where did you get it from? What movement is in it and how long have you had it for? Reliability?

 

[jack_bauer]

The Grant Carrera 17 was originally purchased from WE. The Carrera chrono was purchased from Angus at Puretime. It's got the a7750 movement and has been spot on reliable. Keeps good time and chronos always reset to 0. I've had it for about a year now.
