whoever Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Where to find this beauty on the right hand side? The Tag heuer? Sorry I took a pic from Davids thread..... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 It's not a tag it's a heuer. You can find them on ebay from time to time. They have a v72 movement inside. Appx 2k maybe a little less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 One of those donor v72 watches that fall into the category of too nice to use for a donor.. If that makes any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Oh yes, very nice. Now THAT'S a chrono to lose sleep over. I've got a woody soft place in my heart for pre-TAG Heuers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I like them as well. No love for the modern ones, In my opinion they are pretty much "Department store" watches now. the old Heuer were something else though. i would NEVER cannabalize one of these to make a rep Daytona.

Nanuq Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yeah I'd love to know more about it, It's the AOPA version and I've never seen another, thought I've seen a nearly identical AOPA Breitling from the same era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Wow nanuq! You have great taste! That's a ? It's an AOPA (Aircraft Owners And Pilots Association) triple date chrono, made by Charles Gigandet. It's almost identical to the first Breitling Navitimers and there's an AOPA chrono that looks nearly identical. But I've never seen another one like it.

panerai153 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 That to me was the golden age of chronos. There were some outstandingly beautiful watches back then. I believe what makes them so nice is their simplicity. The dials aren't cluttered, easy to read, and beautiful. I can't think of a contemporary chrono that comes close to those old models.
