Tag Carrera Chronograph Tachy Racing - Just Arrived

Sorry but I was too fast... my memory is worse day by day... trusty's site displays the "correct" date font (close to ETA ones), so if you've got this watch from Andrew the current font in his pics is not the one you've got. Ask for s replacement. You deserve it. -

Date font is the same that advertised in Trusty's site... Pure Time and Kign's have a much more better font. -
Rolex Datewheel For A 3135 Movement As A Dateoverlay

Difficult to deal with but finally I've got what I asked for... probably I was lucky! (mmm... luckyyyy? noooo!!!) -
Rolex Datewheel For A 3135 Movement As A Dateoverlay
vmena replied to Tribal's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
It was me, but I've just received all the datewheels I ordered from him (4 directly by mail and 1 from his web site). Just waiting from another one won on eBay. The problem is that he's not very communicative. Place the order and wait (does it sound to you?) These are overlays for ETA with rolex fonts. The font in the modern style is quite similar to the one in my MBW 16610 but not so bold. Now I can continue with my two franken projects... Nevertheless, if a gen 3135 datewheel can be adjusted to be glued to an eta one, then it would be the perfect solution having a good rehout. -
UPDATE TODAY JAN 1Oth 20:15 CET: I've received a message from King: watches will be personally inspected by her before shipping to us (no drop shipping). Track number will be sent trough paypal shipping information. Steel bracelet confirmed for Jan 20th. Still 2 members pending to paypal. UPDATE TODAY Wend. 10th: I'm checking your PM's with paypal ID and I will double check with King to ensure all payments are received and she takes adequate care of all your orders CHECK YOUR PM BOX! GROUP CLOSED-FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS Please check below the list with the people included in the group by. List is closed and will be sent to King this afternoon. Read again ordering instructions (listed below also) and PROCEED TO PAYPAL TO KING ONLY WHEN YOU RECEIVE A PM FROM ME WITH KING'S PAYPAL ADDRESS. Don't do anything before. Remember, ONCE PAID, SEND A PM TO ME WITH THE PAYPAL PAYMENT REFERENCE. ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS The procedure, as already explained, will be as follows: 1- I will send list of participants to King, with your nickname, forum and strap selection. 2- You will have to pay by paypal to King (I will PM to each one the King’s paypal address. WAIT UNTIL YOU GET THE PM) stating in paypal description: - “Group Buy” - Nickname & Forum name - Item: Depending what you want: Rubber only: for standard watch with rubber strap Rubber + SS: for standard watch with rubber strap + SS bracelet SS only: for watch with SS bracelet only (no rubber band at all). I have changed the original keys to facilitate King identifying the request. DO NOT WRITE THE WORD REPLICA OR REP OR FAKE OR WHATEVER RELATED TO THESE FORUMS. USE THE ACRIMONIOUS LISTED ABOVE AND WRITE ONLY WHAT SAID IN INSTRUCTIONS. Example: If you want a Tag Heuer Carrera Chrono with rubber and SS bands and your nickname is THEBESTINTOWN and belong to RWI forum, write the following in paypal additional description: Group Buy THEBESTINTOWN, RWI Rubber + SS 3- You make the payment and then... wait for the watch. It is very important we don't delay payment so the operation can be done smoothly. King will not start delivering until all payments have been done to ensure the minimum amount of 10 people to keep the price. So it's up to you keep this operation in healthy status. What may happen if payments not done (or completed up to a minimum of 10)? King will let you choose standard price and watch will be shipped on individual basis or you can ask for a refund. King will have the same list I’m posting here and will let me know about any discrepancy about what you’re asking for and what you pay. Remember: - Rubber: 230 USD - Rubber + SS: 255 USD - SS only: 245 USD Delivery for SS requests will not happen (hopefully) before January 20th. Just to avoid any misunderstanding and ensure a clear and transparent process, please, PM TO ME THE PAYPAL TRANSACTION ID AND AMOUNT ONCE YOU HAVE MADE THE PAYMENT BY PAYPAL.

How can I add again my frieds? I can't find any link or button. Thanks.

EDITED.

Ask Eddie for the "solid gold" TT ladies DJ. May not be real solid gold but color is perfect. Also the date font is very accurate. Tell him you want the same he sold to me.

Quick update: SS bracelet will be available on Jan 20th. Quite similar to the one for the model TAG051-Swiss you can see HERE Still waiting to know if we can see pics of a sample before to order and if some of you that do not want the rubber strap could order directly the SS bracelet for same price (230 USD).
-
My pleasure

Check some info I already posted HERE The 15000 is originally from Repaustria and bought to my good friend Manuel. I have a pic of the new dial I've just bought: And I'm waiting for a gen crown to make my watchmaker try to make the watch waterproof.
-
He, he, he... you will finally fall Ok guys, I've asked King for the origin of the bracelet to know if they're going to use the existing Tag Chrono one and the possibility of a different dial, specifically the standard black one with silver chrono hands instead of red. I'll keep you informed of the answer.
-
As well as my 15000 and 16013 franken projects...
-
Fully agree and therefore I asked King for pictures. I won't buy anything if I'm not sure it is what I want. I'm not confident having a SS band so soon.

Dear (all): I would like to remind you that I'm in the middle of his "battle" just for the pleasure of helping the community to save some money and if possible, improve the final product. I've been helped many times for may members that spent their time in similar things that I tried to return a bit. Clarified this point, understand that the best I can do is transmit to King your requests to see if she could help. But as a premise, this group buy is for the watch that is advertised by King in her web site. So if there's no different announce, that's what you will get (WYSIWYG). Some things can be clarified by asking her (like the Tag logo in the clasp, which finally is) but don't expect that date-fonts or dial finishing could be changed. Also, the SS bracelet topic, is very risky, taken in account that unless there's an existing model already made for another Carrera or Tag valid for this Carrera model, developing a new one from scratch may result in a non accurate final product. I will make King aware of our expectations and I'll keep you informed about her feedback. Thanks a lot all of you for you support (and patience)

King replayed to me about the SS bracelet option: hi,this one original not have with steel bracelet/but i already talk with factory if need pl add usd 25 for steel bracelet.and factory make not ready.need waiting 1week. so waiting for your message regards king So I understand the today she only has access to the rubber band but that the rep factory can make the SS bracelet for 25 USD. I asked her for the possibility of keeping that price for only small amount of orders for SS bracelet and some pics before order. I'll keep you informed.
