Anyone?

Hi Guys,

I am looking for some advice from the Tag experts please.

I really like the Monaco 24 Concept and I want to get the closest looking rep I can, but being unfamiliar with the TAG reps I wondered if you can help me out please? (I'm mostly a Rolex guy)

I wondered what the difference between these 4 are (2 at $408 and 2 at $388) and which is closest to gen (and is this the best available to buy?):

At $408 (what's the difference)?

At $388 (wgat's the difference)?

http://www.watcheden...-40198-p-1.html

http://www.watcheden...-50713-p-1.html (The 24 at the 12 o'clock on this looks the closest to me I think)?

Thanks in advance.

My Gen 16613 today

Ok, I know its not all that accurate, but it never seems to get any wrist time so I decided to wear it today. I am impressed with this pic I just took on my iPhone 4 though.

I decided to go vintage today ;-)

Photo taken with my iPhone 4 so not it's the best quality

The second pic in "watch A" is actually the gen correct ? Just put in the wrong place ?

You got me wondering so I have just checked all my photo's and you are right and I am wrong, it was the gen in the second pic of watch 'A; so sorry about that and well spotted.

The second pic in "watch A" is actually the gen correct ? Just put in the wrong place ?

No, all of the pics for watch 'A' are watch 'A' i.e. the rep, I haven't mixed up the photo's if that's what you are thinking.

i chose B, given the awesomeness of A why did you buy B?

I must admit watch 'A' is awsome, BK's WM9 TT was a great purchase but it's not going up in value like the real thing is it so I bought the gen as an investment and it will probably sit in the safe for a few years.

To be honest, I didn't realise just how good the WM9 TT was until I put them both side by side and as I have already said, the WM9 TT is my daily wearer so it has been in swimming pools and used quite a bit, but its a dam fine watch for a rep :-)

Ok well I will let you in on the truth now then....... Watch 'A' is a BK WM9 and is my daily wearer, I've had it since September last year (I was number 24 in the BK waiting list), watch 'B' is a gen that I have bought this week. It's 2006 D serial that's had very little wear.

See if this helps

Watch 'A'

and watch 'B'

I find it intersting that no one has got it right yet lol... I will let you keep gussing :-)

See what you guys think but keep in mind one is a couple of years older than the other

Both together

Watch 'A'

And now for watch 'B'

Watch 'A' on the left, Watch 'B' is on the right (sorry but I couldn't find my tripod so it's not as clear as I would have liked)

BK, I have 24 reasons to think that!

lol Nice one gplracer

OK, you got me lol it's a BK wm9

It was an 19 month wait but finally it's on my wrist

Ok, maybe a few more pics will help you all decide?

Here you go, I have just taken these with my iPhone

So what do you think guys?

Here is mine

This is after a paint-mod?

No paint-mod, this is just as it arrived

The v5.2 is the newest with an updated bezel inlay and pearl.

Close up of the pearl

I am waiting for mine 2 arrive...

I love the lume shot!

The hand are not the same blue collar as the dial. Is this because the of the "bad" charge? i notice that on the pics of the other dealers. hands and dial are the same blue color. ( or is that photoshoped?)

Tnx.

E.

No the lume shot is not photoshopped its just as it appears in the photo after 45 seconds of charge.

Most of the blue lume watches I have had I have found that the hands glow brighter than the rest of the watch, although it's not quite as different as it looks in the photo but nevertheless there is a difference.

The video seemed to have a problem so you can now find it here:

If you want to see the sweep of the second hand on this highbeat DG4813 you can see it here:

Here is a pic of my old V4 (on the left) next to my new (budget) V5, the difference with the glass is quite significant in the flesh, it almost looks as though the new V5 has AR on it (although its hard to see in the pic)

and here is a lume pic as requested by Gioarmani

Great Pics, Nice watch. Thanks.

How is the movement and was there any reason you made that specific change apart from the obvious.

The movement is keeping great time, within 5 seconds per 24 hours so far and the reason for my choice of movement was that I already have a V4 with an asian 2836 fitted and I wanted to see if there was any noticable difference in the sweeps. To be honest I cannot tell any difference so at $110 cheaper for this version it makes sense to me.

Plus if it ever fails they are easy and cheap to buy.
