Guest Sql_pl Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Another beautiful piece arrived today! I was always tempted by Grand Carrera line by TAG Heuer, even though I don't really like most other models of this brand. Now when our Chinese friends released the Caliper Chrono I decided to give it a try. And I am glad I did. Watch arrived today, safe and sound. I am very impressed with quality and ateention to detail, especially on a piece like this with fairly complicated dial. Watch has great double AR with gen Breitling-like hue. Very nice bracelet. Clasp is a bit difficult to open but I will try to oil it later. I really like this innovative design in which TAG uses rotating discs instead of regular hands. Inner bezel with caliper scale rotates nicely. Very nice rep with true gen-feeling to it. If you are on the fence with this one - jump. You will be satisfied! I will let pics do the talking now. Size comparison with DSSD: Wristies: What a nice feeling it is to fill a box of 4 in two days Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spontaneous Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Nice collection you have there SQL. This watch is actually next on my list of purchases, glad to see a member giving it a thumbsup. I am torn whether or not to go the SS band or go with the calibre 36 limited edition version with black bezel and rubber band (uve made my decision now harder i was leaning toward the limited version). Looks great grats on ur purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Very nice. Love those pushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Wow...that is a nice piece...great pics as always. How does the caliper work or is it non-functional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 It is fully functional in this rep. It is a rotating inner bezel like in Aquatimers that you move via crown at 10 o'clock. Here is a nice video showing how it works: And one more: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Geez, that is a super looking rep. Have you compared it to pics of the gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 This piece is just Gorgeous!

AmStaFF Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Nice Watch, I am waiting for my Tag from PT, it must be here in a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strattakan Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Fantastic rep, i am waiting for it for a long time. But...(always have a but in rep world) looking at 10'o clock pusher, the scale one, the red paint splash outside the space, painting the pusher. it's a idiot qc flaw in a rep of this value...

nikki6 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I got one of these in quartz when they first came out. Have been waiting for this release for ages it seems!! Really glad you like it SQL, it's made my mind up for sure!! Would you mind saying who you got it from? Sixx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Mike Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 That looks to be a significantly better rep than the black w/quartz movement that I have. I still like mine, but that is damn pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 M- How thick is this beast? Looks quite massive! But amazing details, dial, function! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I read in another post that its 19mm thick?! Say it ain't so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 19mm?! Yowzers... That's about 3.2mm thicker than gen... And maybe a little too top heavy for my wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Mine too Ubi Those Grand Carrera models are pretty accurate, but not when it comes to thickness What a shame, for those with "not so big" wrists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzTag Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Wow, that looks amazing. I thought I had all the tag I needed with my link chrono....... Now im not so sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoov Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Mine arrived last week, the thickness is 16.2mm not 19mm. I'm very happy with it. Looking forward to purchasing more Tags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
