boneventura Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Picts please Where did you source your new hm strap? Got it from Jacob at Jacob Straps in Spain. Cost me about 70 euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 The rep Carrera bracelet is really good. You're in good shape. I have some suggestions after trials and tribulations with my own 42mm Carrera (rep). I sold a current production gen TAG, and at the time used some of the profits for my Carrera rep. Have to say I spent quite a bit of time researching, and got bit along the way. Let me say that the rep bracelet is excellent, gen leather is worth the price, but grab the rep deployant. Aftermarket leather worth a damn is pricey, the gen is an exceptional value, even at twice the cost, $100 gen leather is much more substantial than anything you can find for $60+ I'm happy for you, thats a great watch you picked up. I actually went with a gen bracelet. i didnt want any fitting issues considering whant i paid for the Carrera. $315 for the gen bracelet. and that was a deal. OUCH!!

ExtraExtra Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Looks nice indeed. It does remind me of Breitling Transocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Good call on the bracelet I think! Leather is nice, but I agree with W that the OEM bracelet is way more comfortable. Agreed Red. And much more versatile in terms on clothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Looks nice indeed. It does remind me of Breitling Transocean. True. A bit smaller in case size i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asf Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I really like the crystal profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I really like the crystal profile Yeah me too asf. It is consistent with the vintage feel the rest of the watch has. It sure did cost a lot to replace. A LOT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clinterik Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Ok, so this acquisition was a bit of a production. I bought the watch on the bay for cheap as it was dropped and needed repair. Basically long story short (took forever to fix), it needed a new crystal (which was expensive!), new hands and movement service (also expensive). End of the day, it costs me $1900.00 with the full service by Tag certified tech. I sold 3 of my favorite reps to fund it so really, not too painful financially. I love the classic look of this Tag and the movement is spot on (base ETA 2894-2 I believe). Anyway, just thought I’d share my experience with this one and some quick mediocre photos. Thanks for looking. seafoam :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
