Hi guys, as some may of already read in the link below, I received my Tag Heuer Carrera Chrono today from Trevor, and promised in that thread I would post some eye candy of the watch, and share with you my impressions of this timepiece.. For those who have yet to read it, here's the TD Review of my buying experience from Trevor. The watch came very well packaged, and 11 days from payment to wrist. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/157299-first-purchase-from-trevor-and-delighted-with-my-watch/ Onto the watch. This is the Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph Automatic rep with sec@9, and fully functional chronograph. It's the plain black dial model, with black bezel, stainless steel bracelet, and see-thru case back. I was already well informed on the flaws of this rep (thanks to the many of you who have shared their experiences with this model, and reviews of it), and I have to say, although knowing of them did not put me off my purchase at all, as I really loved the look of this rep. Kind of reminded me on an old Swatch I had many moons ago, but better Upon receiving the watch, it had all its protective covering on, the bracelet, dial, bezel, and back case all were protected. My first impressions of opening the package was wow, just wow, what a beautiful watch, it reaps of quality, weight solid feel, and certainly has prescence on the wrist. Talking of which, the bracelet needs a link removing as it wears a little loose for my liking, so if anyone would like to share on a good pin removal tool, that would be great. In case you are unaware of the flaws/tells of this model Tag, they are as follows.. 1. The letter G of the name TAG on the dial above the day/date window is missing it's pointy arrows that the gen has. 2. Blue screws in the movement are visible through the case back window. Gen are silver screws. 3. The rotor of the movement has the incorrect amount of bevels engraved, two or three less than gen. 4. The red paint used on the tips of the chronograph big hand, and the smaller hands of the 6&9 sub-dials are a darker red colour than gen, the gen is more of a bright blood red. Given the above flaws/tells, as said earlier, these alone did not put me off buying this rep, its stunning in the flesh, and my photos below simpley don't do it justice. The bracelet, and clasp are of great, solid quality, with a positive click fasten and unfasten of it's clasp. Good engravings. Anyway, I have a bad habit of rambling on, especially about something I have passion for, and that is watches. Ok ok, I hear ya! Onto the eye candy. I tried to capture this watch as well as I could for you all, sorry about the smudges etc, enjoy, and thanks for reading/looking.

Very nice Deckard! wear it in good health mate I'm going for Hublot today:

Wow!!! Love that Black Bay Deckard!!! So beautiful. Wrist shots please! :)

It's a bit big for my wrist, but that Trans Ocean always catches my eye every time I walk into a Breitling AD. Very handsome, and classically-styled watch. Of course, given my preferences, I'd save my money for a vintage Breitling Top Time!

Date wheels are landing now, thanks for your patience guys, China Post are still in the Cultural Revolution. Anyone who hasn't received there package by the end of this week please let me know. If any go AWOL or are damaged i will send replacements for no cost Cheers P.

Yes I have many ladies shoes but I can also get very nice ladies dresses, Nanuq buys them all the time. He especially looks nice in pink butt huggers Ken

Chamfered a little today also.

Finn, with every post you're confusing yourself and everyone else more and more. You say "I waited patiently for 6 months (listening to an unbelievable number of excuses none of which explain a 6 month delay including the tragic death in his family)" and then a couple of paragraphs later you mention the fact there was a 3 month (or was it 4? I couldn't really care less at this point) delay whilst parts came from China. (Or rather didn't come, as you say you ordered them yourself after 3 months and got them within a week) So, you say you don't know of any reasons for the 6 month delay, and then state a valid reason for at least half of that delay YOURSELF. Sorry, but people telling the truth will state the same version of events again and again with no differences, and it all makes sense. I'm not saying your lying, but I am saying what you have said yourself does not add up, contradicts itself and casts doubt on everything else you say.

One day
