Review and Modding of TAG Heure Calibre 16

[Francisco]

TAG Carrera Calibre 16 is a beautiful watch and, as we are going to check, quite similar to the gen. After few mods the watch will be very, very difficult to distinguish from gen.

This is a picture of the second hand watch I bought:

As this tuto shows:

the breakdown of the hour counter of this watch always running was repaired.

One of the most common flaws of our reps is that the date/day font is incorrect. In addition, in this watch I bought some numbers were not centred, as shown in next picture.

When the watch was repaired, a gen ETA 7750 date wheel was installed. Next picture shows a comparison between gen and rep date wheels. With a bit of practice, take seconds to distinguish a rep just having a look to the date window. As the DW was changed, this flaw is solved.

Follows a comparison Gen vs. Rep. It seems very hard to find a flaw. Dial, pushers, bezel, hands
