I am looking at getting my wife a TAG rep for Christmas. The ones she has liked are the F1 Ceramic's: http://www.puretime.co/product/formula-1-lady-ceramic-black/ I am curious how the 'diamonds' look in the reps. Are they just crystal? Are they just low grade diamonds? TAG Ladies F1 diamonds are already lower quality compared to any of their other lines, so I am curious if someone has some pics of these watches and the quality of the stones? Thanks!

I have a rolex milgauss from josh that I would put in the 3 star category... but that might just be me.

Think that's just the new Rolex 116333. It's the one that I am looking into getting. Looking at Josh and Andrew's website.... the only one that they have doesnt come with the oyster bracelet but the jubilee bracelet. I msged them and both said they would be able to pop the oyster bracelet on it for me which would make it like the 116333. Regards,

I am curious if there is any side by side comparison or reviews of any of the datejust II. I have been looking at josh and andrews site and they all look good in the pictures but how are they on a wrist?

datewheel looks a little off to me... which would signify a rep... but the movement looks good.

I have had mine for about 6 months and think it's an awesome out of the box rep. Only complication I have run into is that the rotor on my movement stopped engaging or siezed so I have to take it to my watchsmith to have him take a look at it. (I have to manually wind it atm). Dont know if this is common among everyone... I might have just got a bad movement or something. I might have to contact my dealer and see what he says. BTW I purchased the Asian ETA clone.

So I took the caseback off and was able to spin the rotor just fine but it is not winding the mainspring. How do I re-engage the rotor?

I have an ETA 2824-2 movement in my rolex milgauss GV rep and it works great, however, the watch has begun to not wind on it's own. I can manual wind the piece fine and it will work for the time period, but does not automatically wind. Thinking this could just be the rotor seized up? Can I just take off the caseback and apply some lubrication to be able to free up the rotor? Thanks!

My top daily beaters would be Rolex Milgauss (My favorite rep), Omega SMP, Tag Aquaracer 500M, PO, and SOH All non chrono with awesome movements. I would recommend any of them and consider them all to be 'super' reps.

Look at one of the dealers of the forum. They all will pretty much have the Tag you are looking for. Here's one example from Josh's site. http://www.perfect-hour.com/tg02009-aquaracer-chrono-daydate-blue-a7750-28800bph-p-3243.html I know it is selling for about $288. I do not know what that would be in pounds. Hope this helps!

Sorry didn't have time to post pics. I will try to get some side by side pictures as soon as I got some time

Got it in. It looks good from what I have seen. There are a few things which I notice on the piece. 1) The date font is not accurate compared to the gen. 2) The tag emblem / plaque is slightly rotated. Other than that it is looks flawless compared to the gen. The current gen has a skeleten caseback and quick release bracelet I know... but those are minor.

Just look in the forum's repair section. Any of them would be trusted. If you have a local watchsmith that works on reps, that would be another way to get it done faster probably.

It's a beautiful gen watch. I try it on regularly Although as far as reps go... if you are going for the most accurate TAG's... I would stick to By-Tor's review section + the new Aquaracer 500M because that rep is also amazingly accurate compared to the gen. Just my 2 cents.

I went ahead and ordered it. I'll post some pics when it comes in
