P4GTR Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I've had this rep for probably 10 years, and recently I got the urge to look into its accuracy and give it an overhaul. Needing a battery change on the quartz Miyota movement only once, it is an excellent timekeeper. As I look back at some of the gen Tag's from this era, this rep is actually pretty spot on. The quality that we are used to with modern day watches, wasn't always seen in some models 10+ years ago, be it rep or gen. The tooling, engraving, technology, etc. was just not the same as it is now. That being said, this thing is pretty nice. It is very close to an equivalent gen of its day. The quality is good, too. Solid SS. Screw down caseback. A nice comfortable wear. I gave the case and bracelet an overhaul and I went from this: To this: This (the one on the right): To this: There you have it. A nice mid-school TAG Heuer Link rep, back in rotation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Quite nice. Slim case and good midsize watch. I like the "Heuer" buckle. I guess it was around 1984, that Tag bought Heuer. Some transitional pieces had both TagHeuer and Heuer markings. A Tag were among the very first replicas I bought, in Malaysia back in 2002. I did not know much about watches, but had decided that I wanted to buy a TagHeuer and an Omega Seamaster. This "Tag" was my beater for about two years. It kept time, but the plating on the bracelet soon were worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
