Took the Plunge - UK based

[Dan_G]

Like many I'm a lurker and greatly appreciate this forum and all the knowledge of the members.

After plenty of research I have jumped in with both feet and ordered from Andrew at TT.

1. Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre HEUER 01 43MM SS/SS Black chrono skeloton. (TAG0362B) XF factory

2. Rolex Daytona 116500 (ROLDYT0360A) King Factory

Dealing with Andrew at TT has been straight forward and quick so far with email contact to confirm availability of the Tag and then ordered through website.

Had my heart set on a carbon black ceramic Carrera Calibre HEUER 01 but not available from factory.

Took a punt on the Daytona from King Factory as there's very little info on this watch.

Ordered on 24th Feb

I'll let you know how it goes.

Cheers, Dan.

So far so good...

The only flaw I can see on these Tag’s are the date wheel, which should be more of a skeleton whilst these from XF are almost “solid” like, but apart from that they’re spot on, loving mine and to most people’s eyes they won’t tell

Thanks for your feedbaxk, nice to hear from someone that has experience of the watch.

Yes these Tags look lovely the GEN is one of my gave Tags. The fact XF went 43mm really fills a gap in the market, which I went for.

Comparing GEN / REP photos side by side I've noticed some differences in the visible gearing which is to be expected and does not detract from the watch.

All the reading I did on here convinced me this is a quality watch in it's own right and well worth owning...

Really looking fwd to it.

Update.

08/03/23 - airmail tracking details received.

 

[Dan_G]

19/03/23 - Received by Royal Mail in UK.

Am I allowed to get excited yet?

 

[eBoy]

Yup, get excited.

Seems like in the UK it's the exactly the same when a TD ships something to EU and at some point it gets relabled as a domestic parcel. You don't even get bothered by any annoying import / customs notifications in the 2nd tracking... I love it.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh...

Excited ...

Gimmee gimmee...
