Applewush Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) I just got this in the mail, and OMG!! it's lovely! I'm sure nobody is here to read about me gushing all over my latest favorite watch, so here are the pics. Enjoy!! And of course, the obligatory wristie! Now that i have your interest, there are a few things to note about this watch i bought. It's jap quartz, and therefore chronograph works. There's a 21j version available too, but that comes with a tang buckle instead of deployant, and i think that just screams 'dead giveaway'! I picked the version with AR, because it's always better with AR, no? Calipers work, and i just realized i didn't zero it properly before i shot it. Major Flaws: The 'TAG Heuer' where the strap meets the watch head is written in white whereas the Gen is in black. White datewheel instead of black. Slightly heavier than the gen since it's not made of titanium. It's not PVD either. Not sure if the bezel is supposed to turn, but this one doesn't. Right now, i'm fighting the urge to buy the 7750 version. Somebody stop me! Edited June 16, 2011 by Applewush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gran Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Go ahead buy the 7750 version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physher007 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 The inner bezel is supposed to turn via the 10 o'clock crown - but the true bezel is fixed How does the running seconds dial work with the quartz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Nice watch. Did you get the AR done yourself or it came from the dealer? The AR seems fairly weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 lookin great. Is the quartz a significantly better deal than the 7750? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applewush Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 AR came with the watch at a 30$ premium. As for better deal, it's hard to say. I paid 148$ for this, shipped while the 7750 would've set me back about 400$. I chose quartz because 1) the gen/7750 seconds indicator is in a small window at the 9 o'clock position. it's hardly noticeable. I love automatics because of the smooth sweeping hands movement, and when you confine that to a small window, it kinda defeats the purpose. and 2) i figured since i've never tried the watch before, and it's not my usual style, i should get the cheaper version first. I did the same with a PAM, so stay tuned for my review! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempire Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Where did you grab that one from? I looked at the 7750 and couldn't figure out if it was worth it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applewush Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Mine's from WatchEden. As far as i know, they are the only ones with this version. And to answer a previous question about running seconds, the seconds indicator is at the 6 o'clock position instead of the window @ 9 o'clock.

PPN Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I say go for the automatic version now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisOK Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Personally I would avoid the Calibre 36 in quartz. The seconds at 6 clicking over where the chrono HOUR sub dial should be is both a HUGE tell and annoying. I'm not sure if this one is being discontinued, but Andrew at Trusty Time doesn't even carry the Calibre 36 in quartz anymore. IMHO the factories that switch subdial functions on quartz versions just so the chrono works isn't doing anybody any favors. Some watches probably shouldn't be repped in quartz. LOL sorry for the rant, it's my biggest pet peeve in the replica world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverAccord04 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 i just ordered the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 from "watcheden.net". They had a $20 web discount bringing my grand total to $128. This is my first time ordering a replica watch online so I hope I am not disappointed. I fell in love with this watch and had researched other sites, but I just feel that paying $400 for a replica watch is a bit much. After referring to your post and doing research I found that watcheden had the best looking replica for the best price. I ordered the watch on 10/03 and am still awaiting a tracking number. Lets hope all goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
