Beautiful watch and some great pictures friend, seems like a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Does this not look like a standard A7750 movement to anyone else and it's not just the blue screws. A quick look at another Hublot Big Bang caseback and that is very clearly a rep! Also, why is it still up?

Usually you see the crappiest fake compared with the gen, which is fare it's still a fake vs a real Rolex but this guy is just showing you his watch and explaining what he thinks the differences might be. I'm pretty confident that you could switch this guys SMP with a decent Rep and he would never notice the difference, not this guy and not in a million years.

No change for me, off to the watchmaker to pick up my ETA 2836, repaired and freshly serviced.

Planet Ocean strapped to my left arm.

I spotted this on a TV at a bar from across the room, grabbed my phone to confirm, pretty sure it's a DSSD. Almost put mine one this morning after seeing his last night, had almost forgotten about it.

I'll second that.

I have had a rep of this for 3 years now and I am going back and fourth between a new rep or a Gen, this is still one of my all time favourite watches, it's just beautiful and classically sporty. Congratulations friend, this will get lots of wrist time with you.

In that condition, <$2000 USD

The Cal. 1887 is a poor rep, I would avoid this if I were you. go for a Calibre 16 Carrera or Link. Consider the Calibre 17 Grand Carrera aswell, looks great in stainless with black dial.

Very excited to see how this turns out, for the money this is the way to go. The rep is already very good but this watch will be incredible when it is complete.

Stuck at work for Mother's Day.

Absolutely love that Grand Date Link, beautiful watch!

I definitely agree that they marred their own image with the direction they took in the 80's and 90's. The Carrera Day Date was the watch that made me fall in love with TAG Heuer, even though it uses the Calibre 16 (Valjoux 7750) which is a perfectly acceptable movement for a mid range watch, the design of all the Carrera chronographs is just stunning IMHO. This is a watch that I absolutely love to strap onto my wrist and I can spend all day looking down at.

Oh man Sixx, I forgot all about the Monaco V4 This is the V4 for anyone who is not familliar

I know it can't be just me and I guess this was sort of discussed in another thread a few months ago posing the question - Your thoughts on TAG Heuer as a brand? Well I have a new question, Why does Rolex get tons of credit for their parachrom hairspring while the watch world questions the validity of TAG Heuer as a brand. Sure, they made Quartz watches... still do, but so do Breitling and Omega. They use ETA based movements in a lot of watches, Breitling, IWC, Omega would never do that though?????? TAG Heuer spends lots of Cash on advertising and sponsorship - Kind of like any big brand in the watch world. And while watch snobs look down their collective noses at TAG Heuer they are busy doing this... Okay, Okay, Anyone can make an ultra high beat movement that beats at 7,200,000bph, they're already close with 28,800bph, yep, close enough! But I guess that's all that TAG Heuer has done recently..... What does Pendulum mean? does it mean that TAG Heuer has successfully created the first watch in history to be regulated without a hairspring, can't be. Now they went ahead and created a Twin Tourbillon 1/100th Chronograph and instead of stopping there they went ahead and.... regulated both Tourbillon with their pendulum magnetic oscillator. Have I seriously overlooked something or can the conversation shift toward why TAG Heuer is the most innovative Watch builder in the business? Discuss, Ha!

Carrera Day Date for my day off

Back to the white face Carrera

Being a pilot always seemed like such a glamorous job, something I feel like I would love to do, sometimes I have a hard time believing the horror stories about pay. If being a pilot has evolved the same way as being a passenger has than I can imagine the glamour is gone. Still fantasise about it though

Gen Tissot for me today. White face for the nice weather.

Still wearing this classic, white face Carrera

My buddy had a plane and anytime we flew anywhere (usually for a party or night on the town) we both wore our Citizen Skyhawk, him because it was his only watch, me because it made me feel cool
