Tag Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph Day Date
Some history of Tag Heuer and the Carrera
Heuer:
Founder: Edouard Heuer
Pronounced: "Tag Hoy-Yer"
Heuer Watch Company was founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer. He opened a watchmaking workshop in St-Imier, a village in the Swiss Jura region. Heuer watches soon became recognized for a high level of accuracy and workmanship. Perfect for the timing of sporting events Heuer soon found its niche.
TAG Heuer has a long tradition of technological innovation in precision timepieces, including stopwatches and water-resistant watches. Reflecting this heritage, the TAG Heuer brand has long been closely associated with the world of competitive sports, providing official timing services for the Olympic Games, FIS Ski World Cup, FIA Formula 1 World Championship and other major international sporting events - automobile racing, ski competitions - since the early 1900's.
In addition, TAG Heuer continues winning an active following among sports enthusiasts around the world. Throughout its history, TAG Heuer has steadily built its reputation understanding design and innovation, as well as, a tradition, establishing itself as a leading producer of prestigious sports watches and chronographs

In 1950 Mexico was about to compete its section of the great Pan-American highway. To celebrate that event, it was decided to create a motor race on the 3,500 km distance of the highway from the border of Guatemala and the United States. From 1950 through 1954, "Le Carrera Panamericana Rally Mexico" was held five times. And five times the worlds greatest drivers traversed the vast expanse over terrain that varied from deserts, prairies, mountains and tropical jungles. A legend was born.
Introduced in 1963, Carrera was the first Heuer line of watches with it's own brand name. Although the Carrera was a evolution in terms of design for Heuer, its look was completely distinctive when compared to the commonly seen and sold chronographs of the 1940's and 1950's. Jack Heuer (pictured at left), the CEO of the company, wanted a watch with an excellent readability. So he printed the 1/5 sec scale on the "rehaut" (the inner bezel) of the watch. Tachymeter or pulsometer scales were not placed in the centre of the dial (a typical design feature of 1940's and 1950's chronographs), but formed an outer ring around the five minutes markers. The dial immediately looked bigger and cleaner.
It's fair to say that Heuer was already moving in this direction prior to the first formal naming of a Carrera model. The line was in continuous production until the late 1970's/early 1980's in one form, model, style or another. Design changed with the taste of the times from classical-elegant, round case, small lugs (until mid 1960's) to, well 1970's style - large and fancy cushion cases. The last vintage Carreras in the 1980's showed more modern designs like the contemporary Lemania, Omega or Porsche Design watches.
The official full name of this watch is TAG Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph Day-Date, it is added to the TAG Heuer Carrera family in 2008.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Day-Date has a TAG Heuer Calibre 16 automatic chronograph movement. This TAG Heuer watch comes with a 43 mm polished steel case with a tachymeter scale on its polished steel bezel and silver dial, with scratch resistant sapphire crystal with double AR.
Additional versions include brown aluminum bezel / brown dial, black aluminium bezel / black dial, bracelet made with 5 row alternate fine brushed and polished steel, black or brown alligator strap or black rubber strap. This are the three versions:
The Rep
The front
The watch I bought has the white dial and is from Precious Times. After unpacking it it looked great. Compared to the gen, the gen has a more white dial, the dial of the rep looks some more creme. Another flaw is the Tag Heuer badge above the day/date display

The watch brand Breitling was originally founded in 1884 in St. Imier by Leon Breitling, 24 years old.. He wanted to produce high-quality technical watches. As his business expanded, Breitling moved the factory to the Swiss town of La-Chaux-de-Fonds. The Breitling watches are certified chronometers and where designed primarily for aviation use.
After World War I, Breitling began producing chronographs and chronometers strictly for aviation, they were a pioneer in aviation business. In 1915 Breitling invented their first wristwatch chronograph and made several significant developments to this design. In 1923, Breitling was the first watch manufacturer that created a chronograph, with enabling the start and return to zero function, which was also performed by the winding crown. After that, in 1934 Breitling added a second timepiece to the chronograph featuring a cumulative time recording, this invention made the Breitling watch a favorite among pilots.
In 1952 Breitling creates the Navitimer, a wrist watch equipped with the famous

Eta911 is that a legit seller, anyone ever did business wit them?

Innovative watch...But they should have done a bit more market research on the name. "PITA" has a negative connotation in English speaking areas.
Think in Spain they don't want to talk about ETA movements

Review Chopard Mille Miglia GMT Chrono
The legendary Mille Miglia car race has been held annually from 1927 to 1957 and was revived in 1977, taking its competitors over a distance of 1000 miles through magnificent Italian countryside from Brescia to Rome and back again.
Passionate about vintage cars, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele has been playing an active part in the race since 1988, when Chopard supported this event as a main sponsor and official timekeeper for the first time. In his words:
