ablogtoread and calibre11 both have nice gen review on their site. At first glimpse, finish, bezel operation, timer operation, caseback, looks like another great one.

The non-chronograph was really pretty sold too. ;)

Stabbed at the back!!! But i have to say the chrono is pretty nice and looks solid at the video...

Seriously, how hard is it to replicate the correct Tag Heuer logo with the 2 arrows on the 'G'?

The rest of the watch looks perfect, but it's a shame something so small can make it a giveaway that its a rep.

Do not worry bro. Even a side by side comparison of rep with gen in real life is very hard to spot it. You need a magnifier to in order to see the wrong arrow. I try that on my aquaracer chronograph before.

I do agree it is hard to spot unless you really inspect it, but nether-the-less the brand name and logo should be the easiest thing to replicate, especially as they have gone the extra length to sort everything else out perfectly.

Either way, it is still a nice watch.

you guys are incredible...is this flaw impossible to detect on the wrist? possible to detect with good eyesight or is magnification required?

It's not impossible to detect, but at a glance obviously it's not a major issue. It's just something that bug's me, especially as it is an easy fix, you'd have thought they would pay more attention to what is arguably one of the most important parts of the watch (the logo) but this is the world of reps afterall...

Reps are reps. Gotta sacrifice something when paying 1/15 of the real thing.

Looks good. I may end up getting a tag as a gift to someone.

I just got a non-chrono from a forum member & I love it. Really close match to the gen too.

Calibre 5 looks nice :thumbsup:. How does the dial reflect color? Here is a less intimidating gen shot. I can live with the reps anemic logo, some sites have better photos. How is seconds timer color? I'm curious to see how substantial this watch feels.

The logos are not the same in every replica TAG model. Some are worse than others (I think it depends on the factory), but the logo on the calibre 5 dial and on the carrera day-date are the poorest in my opinion.

Saras is your pic in the OP a gen or rep? The numbers on the bezel look perfect to me. Not the same story with the pics on the dealer sites..

If it is a rep, how is the AR? The Breits ar looks better, but that can just be the picture?

pic on OP is a gen, some dealer photos make the watch look worse than it is. Watch that video full screen, to my eyes the watch looks well built. The rep from any trusted dealer won't vary from the rep in the video. Dealer said the AR on rep is single sided AR, Breitling often have heavier AR and "bubble" xtal.
