Hello fwellow RWG'ers! I am thinking of buying an El Primero based watch, and wondered what choice there is out there?
I prefer a more sporty look, and the Tag Link caught my eye, but seems impossible to find, anyone know what brands use this sweet movement, aside from Zenith? I am looking at the pre owned market, but seem to be having very little luck in finding anything.....
Also, just in case, are there any RWG members who would like to sell a Primero based watch? As that would be ideal, as this community feels so much safer than other online forums!
EDIT:
A fellow member was kind enough to point out the sale of a Tag Link Calibre 36 watch, and I was lucky enough to buy it! Thanks very much dvn for that!
It is a lovely watch, I am so happy with it! I re-finished the bezel to a mirror polished finish (original owner brushed it), and re-brushed the entire case/bracelet. The outer AR coating was pretty messed up, so I removed it. The white dial does not really need double AR, single is fine. If anything the AR scratches were distracting from the simple, pure white dial. I snapped some quick pictures, what do you guys think?
The watch looks almost new, the AR inside the crystal is very effective, the dial still really "pops" out at you, such a comfortable watch too! The chronograph runs butter smooth, you can hardly see the ticks!
I think I got a great deal, the box and papers were included, and the recent full service is still holding a four and a half year guarantee, I would just need to send it back to Canada
