I'm not much of a tag heuer expert. I've been attracted to the calibre 36 RS for a while now and thinking of getting a 7750 version on it. I've tried searching for more info about the 7750 rep but it doesnt seem like a lot of people have it.

So for those who have a Calibre 36 could you please share your experience?

What are the usual concerns about this rep? Is it a pretty good rep?
Will it fit well on a relatively small wrist?

-I noticed is that the sec "hand" on the rep has a white background, and the gen has a black background.
-The inner bezel is also different from the gen (bezel is not RS version)

Here's a link to the watch:

If you use the inner rotating bezel "caliper scale" it will scratch the edge of the dial, this happens on gens to... I have about 18 cm wrists and i think it fits really good the few times I tried it at the AD. But of course I like quite big watches. And besides that the movement is complete different from the gen it's a good rep.

Ive been eyeing one of these off-and-on for a long time, either quartz or if the reviews seem good enough I might spring for the 7750. Any rep owners that can chime in?

I have one of these, in SS, not PVD version. Watch is real stunner in person, I never liked it on pictures, but once I saw it "live" I knew I have to get it :)
I think there are two 7750 based versions, but most of the "big" dealers offer better one. Inferior version has wrong font on chrono minutes dial, and much thicker mid-case, and usually low-beat movement.
Here are few pics I have:

I've seen people moan about the sunken datewheel, but not sure if this is really an issue.

Yes, it has sunken date wheel, but good thing is that gen also has sunken date wheel - gen DW is a little bit less sunken, but that is something you can't tell unless you have gen and rep side by side.

watch arrived today and it's beautiful. Feels great on the wrist and it's a treat to look at. 2ith all the intricacies of this watch it's amazing they've created such a rep.

Very happy with the purchase of my first rep.

If you're thinking of this watch, go for it.

Will post pics this week.

TAG Heuer Cal 36

Well look on the site fro Intime. They have te perfect rep, Compared with the original foto on the Tag Heuer site you can't see any differences. The back shows a different movement but that is obvious.
