freddiep Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Did you have to special order? I went to Andrew's site and only saw this with the leather Strap: http://www.ttwristwatch.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=887 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Did you have to special order? I went to Andrew's site and only saw this with the leather Strap: http://www.ttwristwatch.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=887 You can ask him to get the SLR with the SS bracelet. He got already several requests as far as I know. Just ask him. Strange, I see all tastes are in nature : I ordered a leather strap because I now slowly start being bored by the SS one Best way is to have both, and change according to your mood : both (integral) leather and steel dresses fits very well.

freddiep Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks... I sent Andrew an e-mail and, in true Andrew fashion, he responded immediately and can accomodate my request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I should have bet ! I'm wondering about asking some copyright on this combo... ...just kidding... Which colour did you choose ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pix Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Thx ! I trust you'll definitely be enchanted. Especially for the price, the level is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddiep Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Andrew just sent me an e-mail. Item shipped today. Will let you know my opinion once I get it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWATCH Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hi, would you post one or two pics of the blue one ? How does the strap look like ? Cheap or quality leather ? My stopwatch hand reset very slightly before 12. Hardly noticeable. But it seems to be a problem on many "chep?" quartz movements. I have two other Chronos (non reps from cheaper brands >> Festina and Fila) and they also do not reset correctly. Cheers. BTW : what colour is your SLK ? Quick pic of blue one.

Pix Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Excellent ! For me, the strap looks good. I'm waiting my brown one (Josh could source one for me !). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tag Man Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 There are automatic versions of the SLR out there. I just aquired two of them this week, and the back dial one even has the correct black date window. I owned a quartz version of the SLR as well. They are nice watches, but they are not in the same league as the Link Automatic with the highbeat Asian 7750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tag Man Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Pix - I didnt get them from one of our dealers. I have an international flight attendant friend that got them for me. Check out the new topic I created yesterday with pictures of the watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddiep Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Excellent ! For me, the strap looks good. I'm waiting my brown one (Josh could source one for me !). You were right...the look of the watch is outstanding. Had the bracelet sized by a watchsmith and he was impressed with the watch. 5 days from the time I ordered the watch until arrival in the US. Had an issue with the second hand not resetting back to 12. Sent e-mail to Andrew and he responded within an hour. "Dont worry... very easy... pull the crown out lightly twice and then push the chrono pusher to adjust the chrono needles and subdial needles. It can be done for the OS20 Quartz.. =) Andrew" He is a stand-up guy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi, so happy you liked it too :-) Yes, most chronos can be settled this way (I had the problem on a Festina chrono). Andrew has always a solution for you, true. Pics ? Wear it well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I ordered one of these--I'm not really a Tag fan or a Benz fan but the watch looks great and the price was right. I love the shape of the case with that bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc savage Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I did like it, but I never wore it! So, this exact watch is up for auction, proceeds go to RWG. I can't quite take pics like Pix, plus my lady has absconded with the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pix Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi Negru... difficult to know without opening the watch, but most of the quartz movements with this layout must be OS 20. BTW, do you need to change it already ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, do you need to change it already ? NOO WAY, i don't need to change it, i just wonna know what movement i have, I wonna know very good my watch, I like to know something I own, so I am just interested, my watch is new, one week is "his" age:P, i will upload some pictures, but now I am on my laptop traveling, and stuying about my watch , thank u anyway! BTW, what is your opinion about miyota movement in general, is good this miyota systems for watches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Well, I'm not a specialist but a quartz movement is in any case more reliable than an auto. Miyota (citizen) are surely the biggest manufacturers of such movements and you find them in most quartz watches around (I own a Festina and it is equipped with it). Actually I don't see the advantage of a Swiss quartz against this one. Except that Swiss movements maybe have more originall layouts and/or features.
