murphhprum Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi, I am new to this forum and to replica watches. Tag Heuer has always been my favourite watch manufacturer but unfortunately are out of my price range at the moment. I am finding it a little hard to navigate the forum for reputable replica websites. I am looking for this exact watch and wondering if anyone has seen it on a reputable website. Thank you for you help. I can't have a link until 5 posts http://www.helloreplicawatches.com/tag-heuer-carrera-7750-automatic-working-chronograph-leather-strap-white-dial-replica-watch-7427.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphhprum Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I guess I'm really picky when it comes to my watches but Im looking for an automatic with an exhibition back. Thanks tho it's pretty close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovo1695 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Be careful with the exhibition casebacks. If you're really picky with your watches, an exhibition back is generally a bad idea unless you can source a gen movement. Lots of the low end exhibition case back watches have terrible Asian eta clone movements that aren't even close to the original. Just a heads up. Nice choice by the way; the Carrera is a lovely watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphhprum Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 This is true, the movement on the real one looks awesome. Even if I can find a swiss movement that looks similar I wouldn't mind paying more. Eventually I will buy a real one I just can't afford it right now. My friend received a real one as a gift years ago and thats what got me loving watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovo1695 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I didn't mean to discourage you with the post above. Anything is possible with enough money, patience, and the right relationships (modders!). There are guys on this forum who rebuild watch movements, regrind crown guards, and have custom parts commissioned. I've seen many frankenreps on this forum that have more gen parts than rep parts. Absolutely anything is possible here. My point is that in rep collecting, as with anything else, it pays to start with the basics and learn the ropes. You can absolutely get a fantastic carrerra with a display caseback, but you might need to do some pretty advanced stuff to pull it off. I just wanted to caution you above regarding the display caseback, because it might be tricky to get an exceptional rep right off the shelf. Take a look at today's (june 25th) wristcheck. A member here posted a really nice exhibition back Carrera. Looks like he may have done a rotor transplant with a gen rotor. The member might be willing to tell you a little more. Before you reach out to him though, I suggest you do your homework. Veteran members really appreciate and respect it when you do that. Go to the dealer section of this forum and look at what is available off the shelf. It may be that you can get exactly what you're looking for. You can also use the search function to see if the member has posted a short blog about the watch, you might learn exactly how he did the rotor swap. Once you understand everything you can using the search function and have browsed the dealer section, reach out to the member to see if he can tell you more. If you've done your homework, there's a good chance that he will. This is a great bunch of guys who really love watches. The next step, once you've figured all of this out, is to post a short write-up of where you got the watch, who helped you, what mods you made, what problems you ran into, and how you solved those problems. Now the whole community will have the benefit of your experience, and you'll be a full fledged member. The more useful posts you make, the better known you will be, and the more willing the high end modders will be willing to work with you! Alternatively, you can probably buy a decent example off the shelf from one of the trusted dealers here and wear it for months before the date font starts to irritate you, and then start the process above. Either way, welcome to the forum and best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 What about this one? http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=76_116_165&product_id=171 or: http://www.puretime-asia.com/product/carrera-chronograph-43mm-ss-white-dial/ http://www.puretime-asia.com/product/carrera-1887-chrono-silver-dial-stainless-steel-strap-a7750/ http://www.puretime-asia.com/product/carrera-cal1887-chrono-40mm-ss-white-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a7750/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovo1695 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Looks like a pretty nice rep. I do love the Carrerra. Here is a link to the PT watch with white dial and a7750 that GenTle very helpfully pointed out for you. http://www.puretime-...bracelet-a7750/ Here is a link to the corresponding pics of the Gen: http://www.fashioncraz.com/carrera-calibre-1887-watches/ Not perfect certainly. But only one in 100 people you show it to will have any idea what the gen movement should look like. The rep is a beautiful watch that's bound to get compliments either way.

murphhprum Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks a lot guys, I now know where to start looking glad to see I have options!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The Carrera is a great rep but the 1887 has not been done very well yet. I definitely recommend the Carrera CV2A10 (day date) I also recommend the Carrera CV2010 which in my opinion is one the best modern chrono designs on the market I must say, you do have great taste in watches, the Carrera line is fantastic.

murphhprum Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 That's a fantastic Carrera. Right now I'm into dressier watches for my job and the 1887 just speaks to me. I have ordered a Jack Heuer 80th edition Carrera and and Montblanc off iParadisiac before I found this site. So we will see what happens haha.

dovo1695 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Well, if they send you junk, or nothing at all, in the very least, you now know exactly where to look for the good stuff. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphhprum Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ya they did send something so well see whats up. I got roped into the whole watches by james unfortunately. Ill be pumped if I get them but I will be ordering from Trusty Time from now on. Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copi88 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hi OP I am looking for the exact same watch you posted in the opening post (with the brown leather strap) Please let me know or post in here if you find it. Even better if you find a version of this http://www.fashioncraz.com/carrera-calibre-1887-watches/ with a brown leather strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphhprum Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'm still waiting on my watches from iParadisiac but they finally passed cutoms into Canada so I should be getting them next week. After I see what they actually sell me I'll be on the market for the 1887. I'll let you know what I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphhprum Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I just got my order from iParadisiac. The watches turned out great. Will post pictures when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphhprum Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Not the best pictures but from what I've heard of this website I'm pretty happy! Now to find my 1887. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
