Yay or Nay?

That depends on how well you like the look and how picky you are.
IMHO it's a great looking piece for the coinage.

At a glance I can see:

- incorrect "Tag" logo on the dial
- "Aquaracer" font on the dial is much too spaced out between letters
- incorrect crown shape
- date is much larger than the gen version.

But for the money I'd say it would be tough to beat :)

​​​​​​​Enjoy.

I have one of these. It’s a great watch, quality is outstanding. Movement is good too. I adjusted mine and it’s now +1s/day. The 6, 9 and 12 markers does not look exactly like gen. Other than that I see no major flaws.

The first thing that caught my eye was the new style of "Tag Heuer" logo on the dial.
I may stand corrected on that because it looks like these did start coming with the new logo font though I can't confirm exactly when.

newer model :

Either way I think yours look awesome :)

New logo is correct, the 41mm has the old logo which only came on the canvas strap, the 42mm has the new logo and comes on rubber, ss or canvas.

As for the other comments I'm not so sure/they are so minor IMO!

I've compared side by side in a small local jeweller trying on the ss as I went gen canvas and it is an amazing piece. SS bracelets differ but watch itself is amazing they have repped the dial texture perfectly!



So I would say a big YAY!
