You know, if you provide the service of doing up the Portu, I bet you'll have tonnes of business!

That said, will you be willing to do up one for me? =)

What makes you think automatic reps are unreliable? I've owned over 40 reps with all kinds of automatic movements (Swiss, Asian) over the years, and I've yet to have one die on me.

I have the exact same problem! Here I am trying to get an everyday watch to withstand all the knocking, yet I need it to keep time (read durable and reliable). I know that I should probably go with a automatic but I keep reading all the posts about people who have their watch lose/gain significant time over 1 day and also stop on them.

By-Tor, do you think an asian 7750 can withstand the daily abuse while still keeping accurate time? (I play tennis so i'm not sure if it is ok to leave it on my wrist while playing!)

As for my choice of watch, it is the Tag Carrera Quartz (with the rubber strap) that I'm considering.

Hi,

AD = Authorized dealer

AR = anti-reflecting coating

Maybe you would like to give a try at the same Aquaracer I have (look at my siggy). There are indeed several quartz versions, but some look really cheap. Not this one.

I agree also, the Link Chrono Quartz is nice too as a daily beater.

ARgh i already bought the Link Chrono Asian 7750 and its on its way to my house (I wanted it cause it was a more accurate represntation of the actual model and not cause of the movements)

Now i'm thinking whether to get the white link chrono quartz or the one here (cause its cheap and quartz!) http://www.watchsilix.com/product.asp?id=1786

Has anyone liked a watch so much you got 2 of them in different colours?

Thanks Pix for the info! =)

T! didn't know you came here. But then I don't usually come here so you may have always been here and I didn't know you were here.

I like the AR bracelet over the link by the way. Tried both in gen on at the AD and the AR pops a lot more.

Ok I'm pretty sure Takeshi you got the picture in your avatar from singapore yes? Only Singaporeans have that weird sense of english =)

AR/AD?? Someone enlighten me please.

Also, I'm wondering how long this rep can last as a daily watch. I'm really looking for an accurate quartz cuz there are really not complicated and (hopefully) wont spoil easily. Any opinions on this? It turns out that most quartz movements are all poor reps. At least thats what I found out from my 4 days of constant surfing!

Aquaracer

Thanks! I'll definitely look at that. Was actually leaning to the Link (non chrono) though.

Contact them directly... they can usually get hold of watches that may not be on their sites or sections...

Thanks Chronus! I have already dropped them an e-mail. Now I'm just looking for a Tag Heuer Link Calibre 6 replica and I'm satisfied.

Cheers

Hi guys,

I am looking for an everyday Tag to wear to school/work and I decided that I should get a cheap (about 80 USD) one for it.

The movement doesnt have to be fancy, I only just started rep watches so I really don't mind a quartz version, as long as it is reliable and can run without screwing up in 2 years? I understand quartz watches are the cheaper ones.

I am also looking for a rep that is an accurate representation of the original. (at least about 90%).

Would really appreciate if you guys could recommend me some models! I've been looking around in Narikaas shop for the 40+ EUR ones, and they seem OK, but I thought I should run it by you guys first in the Tag forum.

Thanks in advance!

Try silix or narikaa, they are both good at getting these cheaper versions.

Thanks Chronus, but they both don't offer it anymore =(

Hey guys, I am looking desperately for the Baume & Mercier Hampton Chronograph but I asked Andrew and he said it was not made anymore.

I am wondering does anyone know where I can still get my hands on this specific model?

Link to andrew's page! (hope this isnt in violation of anything here)
