Tag Heuer Carrera CAL1887 Chrono Black Dial Gen VS Rep (KW/V6F) (Note: Pics Heavy!)

[dan89]

I doubt there is comparison on this model. I think this model is a beautiful chrono. I took some effort to search around in chinese as I'm interested what I can "fish" out and found this but as usual do not mind the watermarks (I find it irritating sometimes but better than nothing and it is not mine, maybe the author is trying to promote his business or what or even use others pictures, so I wouldn't trust the watermark but I trust the pics). It is so close to gen to be honest, except for some minor flaws like subdial spacing, subdial texture, "automatic" red printing, some engraving and of course the open case back (but of course it is still nice...) I have to say I'm impressed with it. Any opinions are welcome~ Cheers!

Thank you very much for the effort to work out this awesome comparion :_o_:

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Even so, I still wouldn't buy another 7750 movement too many issues and failures for me.

Hmmm you asked good question.
Outside of the watch is great but what with inside.
If movement 7750 is similar to gen. What if it broke. Can I replace movement using my local watchmaker or I need to send it back where I bought.

The7750 is swappable with the ETA. The only thing that is not a direct swap is the seconds chronograph hand. I did this swap in my Skyland Avenger. It is not a cheap swap, but a option if you are looking at a service. Excellent review! How if the feel of the two? Any significant difference? The subdial at 6 and 12 appears that the concentric circles are not as defined in the pictures. How is this is person? Thank you for the great review!

My suggestion is don't wait if you really want this model because I doubt there will be changes made anytime soon or ever (afaik only more different dial colors are out lol)

So, took the plunge and ordered the same rep from InTime (I trust Ryan). The QC pictures are awaited.

Will you folks be able to help me with some pointers on what to look for?

Also, what's the issue with 7750? Should I cancel the order and buy a different watch?

 

[pjanet]

7750 is not a gen movement. It depends on what you will get.
It might work for few years if you will proper service or it might stop after few weeks.

Good luck
