kalengkong Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Hi folks, i just bought a gen today, the Carrera DAY DATE version, with brown face [well..its actually a bit like Maroon] and brown leather. I'm looking forward to buy the REP later and do a small review - comparison gen vs rep. hopefully i got enough spare money to buy the rep >_< my wallet is yelling for help at the moment.

Lobster Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 it looks amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalengkong Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Thanks Lobster, by the way, i just tested the Lume, I 'charge' it with my 120 lumens flashlight for +- 15 secs, then count how long does it last. and it remain visible bright for 4 minutes 50 seconds then start diminishing - I need to turn off all my lights and computer screen, just to be able to see the rest of the lume. then after +-60 secs, it all gone to darkness. Quiet disappointing for AU$4K watch. But again, this is for Dress Watch, not for diving, so I guess I cant complain.

jkosasih Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Looks gorgeous. Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 it's one of the best looking Tags imo, don't care much for lume as i never really use it at night or go diving etc... I also love the Ti version with the carbon fibre dial. Hope u could do the rep/gen side by side comparison soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strattakan Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Love the finish of your tag. Gen is a gen after all. Congrats and wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Love the color. What a maroon! Wear it well and enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Wow! Great watch! I love the Day/Date Carrera. Please do a side by side if you can. Maybe go with a bracelet version rep so you have the bracelet to switch off and on with. Honestly, not much difference besides the blue screws in the movement and the arrow tip on the G in TAG on the face. Maybe you should return it and go rep! Here's a few of mine.

kalengkong Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Hi P4GTR... did you take those pics with SLR camera? Since i've tried my best with my digicam, but cant get your angle. HHAHAHA yes yes... damn it. After i look closely to yours, the only different I noticed is just the Font of the tachymetre [those 200...170...150...135...] its just a little bit different. Other than that.. is a beautiful perfect match. But too bad, i dont have steel band to compare with yours. anyway, here are few shots that I tried to have the same angle like yours.

malfa Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 if u buy a rep - buy it from marvellous replica as all the other brown versions of the day date have the wrong shade of BROWN (its too brown and its a flat brown - which was the colour of the older generation tag carrera NON day date) Marvellous has two versions of this watch a red-brown dial version and a dark brown dial verion....always wanted to know which one looks closest to gen http://www.marvellousreplica.com/Product_Detail.aspx?ProductID=200910062015 http://www.marvellousreplica.com/Product_Detail.aspx?ProductID=200910062017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickman Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Kal, congrats on your purchase. It's a real beauty. Brown on brown is my new favourite color/band combination for the day/date. Where the gen really differentiates itself visually is the the alignment of the number on the dail - perfectly straight as it should be. I have the silver rep and the 05 and 55 alignment is screwed up. Bugs me to no end and rarely wear it now. My wife says I'm too anal...can't argue there.

boneventura Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 HHAHAHA yes yes... damn it. The diffrence is.. you know it's the real deal! Even though your reps can be superb, the days you wear your gen you grow 2 inches... nuff said. Congrats on a beautiful watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the numbers are off a bit but thats still one beautiful rep. I would much rather deal with the numbers being off a bit than dealing with a sunkin DW,now that makes me crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
