Tag You're It

Hey Guys, Sorry been off the forum for a while. Yup I got the watch and still wearing it. I posted a review of it a while back: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/166101-review-tag-special-edition-carrera-date-time-fantasy-model/ Lemme know what you think.

I really like the dial as well Thanks for the advice Nightwatch. I saw the TTW model only after I ordered mine. If/when i get another rep it'll definitely be from that website. One good thing about the model I have is that the G on the logo seems accurate. I quite like the automatic movement and so would probably still pick another A7750 over a quartz. A bit gutted the chronograph isn't completely smooth. Its an asian 7750 movement. A bit too cheap for a real valjoux/ETA 7750.

Here is my review of my first ever rep purchase, which I bought from replicamagic.hk (same as iparadisiac.co). I ordered prior to finding this forum and became very worried about my purchase. This is a slightly edited repost from my review on another forum (http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=67438&st=0). I ordered an automatic Tag Calibre 16 Carrera limited edition replica. As far as I can tell it based on a CV2A80 or CV2A17. But in reality it is a complete fantasy model with parts taken from many different models. I’ll start with cost: Watch - £305 or $500 Postage - £36 or $59 Customs - £25 or $42 Total – £366 or $601 After over 3 weeks, due to delays on replicamagic’s end and customs here in the UK, I finally received the watch on Christmas eve. First impressions are that it had a AAA sticker on it which may mean anything but it is a solid, good looking watch. The movement started up immediately and the sub dial second hand sweeps nicely. However the main/chronograph second hand appear to stutter between 15 and 45 seconds. I don’t know whether this will get better the more it is used. After a couple of weeks use I have also noticed that it runs slightly fast. The lume works but does not appear to charge adequately from ambient light and needs 30 seconds under a lamp before going to bed. Subsequently it lasts through the night. I've posted pics of my rep and the original below: Pics of the original: As mentioned if I am comparing it to the models I have found then as for accuracy it appears to be significantly different. The hands, case, pushers and strap are from a standard day/date whilst the bezel and dial are from the CF special edition. I’ve posted pictures and I’ll let the experts on this forum tell me how accurate the rest of the parts are i.e. logo etc. To me though they seem pretty accurate. Customary wrist shot: (and Yes! I have abnormally skinny wrists!) Overall, as many of you will probably comment, I think I overpaid by about $200. Nevertheless I am very pleased with the look of the watch and the way it wears on my wrist. The black strap, in my opinion, looks smarter than the red strap on the original. One question I have is whether a service would help fix the sweeping movement on the main seconds hand or will this get better with time? Also Happy New Year!!

Item has now been shipped

Thanks vlydog

Will do. I'll post pics of what they send me. Fingers crossed!

Update - tried to cancel the order but apparently they have already shipped it.

Just read through the posts. Should I try and cancel my order? Has anyone received a decent rep from them?

I've read a few bad reviews but unfortunately after I put my order in. What have you heard?

Thanks Storm Trooper. Will have a look. Not sure if there is anything I can do about the order I have already placed. Will wait and see what it looks like first. The second hand on the one I have ordered is definitely the wrong colour.

Okay I stupidly put my order in and then looked at some of the TD's on this forum. Lesson learnt. I think I overpaid a bit. Let's see what it looks like when it arrives. I'll try and put some pics up. Also for reference the actual model is CV2A80. This rep looks a bit different.

Anybody?

Hi Guys, I have just joined the forum and wanted to say hello and thanks for all the valuable information on this site. I have also been looking at a calibre 16 rep and can't seem to find the original model anywhere and was wondering what you all thought. I can't include the link unfortunately but if you search iparadisiac for tag-top-replica-7473-black-leather-strap-swiss-carrera-silver-luxury-watch you'll see the watch I have in mind. I really like the look of the chequered back but not keen on something if it can easily be seen as a fake. Thanks T
