Gonna take the plunge on this, red and black rubber strap. I own a couple of gen Carreras, so maybe one of those steel bracelets will fit. Maybe at 45mm is a little big, but I wouldn't want to wait for a 43mm... The 45mm took what, four, five years to replicate?

I think we are more likely to see the Carerra Calibre 02, with that case and movement. Anyway speculating now, no idea if that will be possible with the chrono module in there

Simply stunning! The SD gap is not that noticeable actually, that piece looks awesome! Wear yours in good health. According to DHL mine will be here on Sunday - fingers crossed. Incidentally the red strap arrived from Ali Express as well, will post some pics with it on the watch.

Thanks, alas I've had to put mine up for sale, it just wears too big for me. Hopefully something smaller comes out with the same movement. I've done a mini review in the Tag subforum btw.

For those interested: Ali Express straps are ok, probably met expectations as they are silicone (as promised) and red (as promised) LOL. Will be interesting to compare them to what's on the watch, so when mine arrives I will do a mini review.

Great pic! seeing yours I don't think the bezel numbers need to be retouched. In all QC and website pics the bezel numbers looked super dull. Congrats mate.

Aaaaaand darnit these don't fit.... I think they are probably molded for the TAG Modular smart watch, not the Cal.01. Bummer.

Yip I was equally concerned, but it turns out the finishing is really well executed and gen-like.

How is reliability of the Movement? Can it take gen parts?

Got mine finally. It's stunning replica. I don't pay attention to the marker on the 9 and the subdial on 9. Perfectly finished, the bezel looks very good. A very successful replica. I recommend it, the watch on the wrist looks great.
