  1. Hi, I'm very interested to buy this version of The Grand Carrera (BROWN dial with SILVER case):

    post-8485-1236532608_thumb.jpg

    Before to buy it I need to know if the version actually exists.

    I checked Tag website and the Tag catalog 2009, but this version wasn't there. The only version I could find was the one with brown dial and rose gold case.

    Does anyone know if this version is a fanatsy?

    thanks

  2. Hi, after following Jimster suggestions, I decided to go with the SMP chrono black dial with PO 22mm rubber strap.

    After fighting 40 min putting the strap, here are the results:

    The second issue was the gap between the strap and the case. It was impossible for me to reach the deep holes in the case when I was putting the rubber strap. Then I found another solution: I used this cable and I glued it to the strap.

    The gap was minimized and almost disappeared:

    Now I just ordered a new date wheel and the watch will be almost perfect (stupid logo) within some days.

    Thanks Jimster for your help!

    P.D: If someone knows how to reach (which tool do you need) the deepest holes in the case, please let me know.

  3. Thanks Toadtorrent to answer my question.

    The watch is amazing. I just bought one from Watchmark (taking advantage of his good offer) and I ordered also a PO rubber strap (the one for the 45.5 mm) to put into it. Antother member told me he did it and the watch looks awesome. Once I will receive the watch I will post some photos with the rubber strap. I hope this new version doesn't have the same issue with the crown and tube than the previous one. I want to swap also the datewheel.

  4. mmmh... it seems nobody knows the answer. Maybe I didn't put all the info.

    This is the watch I'm asking for (lanikai's picture):

    I really want to put on it a gen dial, but I don't know where to get one. I will really appreciate your help.

    thanks

  5. Hi, I need some help. I want to buy a genuine rubber strap for My Beaume et Mercier Riviera XXL: it is my favourite rep and it really deserves the best!

    I asked to my local AD and they asked me for the serial number. If I don't give them the serial number, they don't sell me the strap. Is it another way to get a genuine strap? Does someone know a website where I can order one?

    thanks

  6. Nice... how is your tag holding up now?

    The watch is working perfect. I have bought all my watches from Andrew. When I have had some issues, he always solved them. Now I asked him a new case for the Tachy because I didnt take care properly of it. I suggested you to take a lot of care with you watch because the case is very easy to scratch. The steel used in replicas doesnt have the same degree of quality than gens.

  7. Congratulations!!

    The Tag Tachy Chrono was my first rep also 1 year and 8 months ago! Now I have 7 replicas, all chronos. If you like chronos, I suggested to take a look in the following watches (in order of purchase after the Tag Tachy):

    2. Panerai 253 Regatta Flyback

    3. Omega SMP chrono (blue dial)

    4. Tag Aquaracer (black dial)

    5. Beaume & Mercier Riviera XXL

    6. Porsche Flat 6 (grey dial)

    7. Omega Seamaster Broad Arrow (black dial)
