Mickey Padge Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Just picked this beauty up from vikkyrob (thanks!), had to do it, even though I have just totally thinned down my collection, I just love white dial watches The watch is excellent, pretty much spotless and mark free, there was just a tiny spot on the hour hand, but I cleaned it off with rodico, so it really is perfect now Here are some pictures, click to expand! A fine looking watch, and this is the version with a regulator too, sweet! I managed to snag a gen Tag black croc strap and deployant too, so that should be here soon, I will update with some more pictures when it arrives..... Cheers!

miket900 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Lovely watch.... What's the SS bracelet like? I'm waiting for my black dial to arrive and am salivating already!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Lovely watch.... What's the SS bracelet like? I'm waiting for my black dial to arrive and am salivating already!!! I don't like the bracelet, but that is no fault of the Tag rep, I think Tag bracelets feel cheap and nasty, genuine or not..... That is why I have a nice genuine Tag leather strap and deployant on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 That's really nice Mickey. Elegant and beautiful. The transparent caseback is cool. I love white dials as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitsteve Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 How close is the AR to the gen, does anyone know? Looks very blue, but typical... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 AR is nice, the gen pictures I have seen all have a blue tint too See here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks nikki6! Indeed, I have liked the look of this watch for a while, and when the exact model I wanted came up for sale in the UK, I had to buy it! Cheers!

Mickey Padge Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks guys! That is a sweet Chopard you got, getting plenty of wrist time I hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki6 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Oh yes, that and the B&M I bought from Bike Mike are the only 2 getting time right now!! Sixx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Gorgeous watch! The big Carrera is really an eyecatcher, especially in white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Here is an update, not a gen strap, but a high quality aftermarket gen croc leather strap, built to OEM specs, on a rep deployant Click to expand! For those of you interested, I purchased the strap from this seller: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/tango252 It really transforms the watch, much better quality and feel than the steel bracelet, more comfortable too.....

koolkul Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I have the same watch on a leather strap and its my daily wear - I love it. Enjoy. Kul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yep, still on my wrist too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Very nice! How does this wear compared to, say a 44mm PAM manual wind? Looks like it would probably wear pretty similar on the wrist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 The crystal on the Tag is larger than my PAM 027a, but they share the same wrist presence for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 This should help Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 The TAG almost has a larger bit of presence due to the portion of the crystal/dial showing; lug to lug looks a bit wider as well. The finish overall looks quite nice. I may have to give some consideration to one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
