maxse Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Guys, how accurate is this Carrera? http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...334a32d95733ff0 I saw this one in person and really liked it. Is the bezel polished on this rep? Because the gen looked polished. Thanks. Edited August 12, 2007 by maxse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The Carrera Chronograph is one of the very best replicas out there. And also one of the best looking in my mind. There are quite a number of different versions of this watch. All replicas seems to be marked "CV2014", which is the serial number of the "Racing version", with red hands. Also, the date font is a bit off. Can be easily changed for an ETA-datewheel though. The latest replicas, like the one in the link, has a better decorated movement, even closer to the genuine.

scoobs1971 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The white dial rings are a bit too width and touch the 6 and 12. On the gen there's a small gap in between. Also the date font is sometimes not perfectly alligned like most out of the box Tags with A7750. Other than that I think it's a beauty! I don't know if the bezel should be polished or brushed. On the brochure pic it looks polished.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxse Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks. I asked because most of the reviews are about the black or white bezel version and I did not find any with a SS bezel. I am pretty sure the bezel is supposed to be polished but it looks brushed in the image. Could it be the lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxse Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Comon guys. I know someone out there can say something about the SS bezel version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 never saw the polished bezel in person or on ANY genuine watch website. to be perfecttly honest with you i dont even know if it exists as a gen. in my opinion, if you like that why dont you get the black bezel version. one of the best reps out there...and i had the gen to compare it to.

maxse Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Thanks. I actually don't like the black bezel version... I saw the polished bezel at Tourneau so there is SS bezel version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rafib Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Thanks. I actually don't like the black bezel version... I saw the polished bezel at Tourneau so there is SS bezel version. hi I purchased the carrera with black bezel and red second hand (like the one with the rubber strap in the pic) and metal bracelet from Andrew. I think it is amazing replica almost 1:1 to the gen, unless you look under a microscope. It is quite accurtae and the chrono's and stopwatch work perfect. About the SS bezel I am not sure it should be in the gen, but if the replica is as accurate as mine, you can't go wrong. But you can ask Andrew.

maxse Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 yea I know the other versions are pretty accurate. I am interested particularly in the SS bezel version. Not sure how accurate it is. I saw it at a Tourneau so I know there is a gen of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxse Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 crazy. No one is interested in this rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dastrix Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 crazy. No one is interested in this rep? Just ordered a black rep chrono carrera from King, who said the date issue is now fixed?? She told me 'not to worry' What do you think?? Would be great if they resolved that witout having to put in a gen date wheel or similar...
