Guest jsuperman17 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 just got this recently.. just want to see if the guys here can tell if its a gen or not should be an easy tell... let the games begin! what do you guys think??
mrboombasteke Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I'm no Tag expert, but here are my observations. Date's changing, but it looks to have correct date wheel. Tag Heuer badge above day/date looks legit. Looks to have correct # of geneva stripes although I can't see all of them. No blue screws--good. Looks gen to me. Edited February 13, 2011 by mrboombasteke
cougaree Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 The painted top on the hands are not too even (maybe just the picture), thus I suspect it's a rep/franken. If I'm wrong, sorry, not much of an expert with Tag.
crossbones Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 simple. gen. congrats correct arrow in the tag logo on dial correct screws in mvmt
krpster Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 I would say rep given the rough finish of the end link at the case. Also I thought on the gen 7750 the day and date do not change over at the same time as in the first picture.
plaifender Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 no idea!!!! Although Krpster was right about the finish being rough between the case and endlinks......
Guest jsuperman17 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Its gen guys... I got it off watchnet.. I even went into and ad and compared it... down from the tag logo and the color of the subdial.. On the rep its blue-ish as oppose to the gen where its suppose to be grey...
mrboombasteke Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Congrats! If it was a rep, I'd be asking for your dealer to get a copy!
Guest jsuperman17 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Haahahaha I wish!! You I wanted to go franken on a rep but adding up the cost was close to a gen... 600 for the bracelet.. 400 for a swiss 7750... In total your looking @ 1300-1400?? When a used can be had for about 1900?? Ill take the gen thank you very much! The color of the sub dial color is way off on the rep its too dark... And the AR on the gen is amazing.. I would never buy a tag heuer gen since it doesn't keep its value well when trading...
mrboombasteke Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 .. I would never buy a tag heuer gen since it doesn't keep its value well when trading... You mean..never buy a tag heuer gen brand new right? I wonder what these go for on LVMH when they have their sales. I was able to get a brand new CAF2010 Aquaracer Chrono there for less than half the cost at an AD. I'll have to keep an eye out next time.
Guest jsuperman17 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Yeah never buy tags brand new.. Always used... They take a deep hit when buying pre-owned.. I got this one for about 1800 now bad huh? I went to tourneau the other day and my watch on a leather strap was 4100! I can't imagine if its aon a ss band... I'm assuming 5k? No thanks 5k for a tag!?! What's lvmh??
mrboombasteke Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 LVMH is the name of the company that produces products under names such as Louis Vuitton, Moet, Henessy, Tag Heuer, Dior, etc. LVMH is the initials of Louis Vuitton, Moet & Henessy. They have a friends and family sale every now and then where these watches are knocked down A LOT! There was a chap on here trying to buy a rep Formula 1. They had these for $500. Before I was introduced to the world of reps, I bought the Aquaracer Chrono on ss bracelet for about $1200. Here's a link to their site: https://www.lvmhpartners.com/index.jp?
mrboombasteke Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Got a friend that works there. At the next sale, I'll send you a pm with the access code.
Guest jsuperman17 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Your the man boom! Yes please send me the code.. Don't forget.. ill remember your act of kindness...
Jkay Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 So this is why you sold off some reps last week! Its a beauty.
plaifender Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 really nice Wish I could get into Tags! This one's beautiful
Guest jsuperman17 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Yup that's the reason I had to many reps layin around getting no wrist time...
d-rock Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 I've been a RolexFan for years. I've got a gen Tag 6000 WH1151-K1. Nice but it's a quartz. I'm now looking for the Tag Heuer WJF2050 Day Date. They don't have a rep out for that model.I have to say I like the looks (and the price) of the Tag WJF over the Rolex Day Date II.
tabularasa415 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah, I agree d-rock. For a long time I thought my first gen was going to be an air king or a datejust, but it ended up being a TAG Carrera Calibre 5 I practically stole on fleabay.
