benew0 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I have girly wrists. Let me rephrase that, boldy petite wrists and 39mm is perfect for them (I realize the rep is 38mm). Currently I was between the IWC Mark XVI (which was a complete bust, but hopefully wm9 does something worth spending money on) and then also the Tag Heuer Classic Carrera or the Twin Time version. I know the reviews for the XVI haven't been great but what I'm not quite sure of at the moment is how great of a rep the Classic Carrera or Twin Time version of this watch is. I understand that its been mentioned in Bytor's guide yet there hasn't been a member review that I've been able to find. Does anyone have any experience good or bad with this watch?

benew0 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Am I just being a noob? Or should I take it that there is no review and I should buy it and write one? -Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ylfig Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have the Classic and I would say the rep is pretty close to the real thing. I haven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I take it that there is no review and I should buy it and write one? -Ben Helle Benew0, Don't know if this is any help to you, but I've compared my genuine classic carrera chrono with the one I found here. These are the flaws I've found: The subdials are too thick and the color white isn't correct: it looks a bit silver-white, while mine is more off-white, like the color of the Daytona Paul Newman and the Speedmaster Legend, 6th title limited edition. I love this color on the gen by the way, it gives the watch a real classic look. The racing strap (wich is a must if you ask me) has white stitching, but mine has black. The back of the rep says 'Swiss made since 1860 Sapphire Crystal' in a round, then the Tag logo in the middel and the type 'CV2088'. That isn't correct. Mine says 'Swiss made since 1860' in a round, then the Tag logo in the middle, then the model wich is 'CV2113' and at the bottom it says 'sapphire crystal' in a round. And, but you already knew that, the datewheel should be black on the black version and white on the white version. If you want I can post some macro-pics, but I don't know if that is much appreciated, since it's a gen and this is a rep-forum (I'm new here ) I love this watch and that is why I own it in genuine. The only thing is, I think it's a bit too small. I also don't like big watches, but in my experience a 42mm is the best. If you wear suits all the time like I do, a bigger watch is just trashy. It makes you look like a bouncer. My biggest watch is a Chopard MM GMT but I never wear it with a suit. So what Í try to say is: it might be a bit too small...
