World Traveller Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 My favorite Tag Heuer is the Carrera GMT. It has the classic style that I love. I was hoping to find a great Replica of it but it looks like the cloners have too many details off, most obvious the date wheel is the wrong color and they don't look as sharp as the Genuine one. Has anyone here ordered a rep Carrera GMT or non chrono? I've attached some good shots of the Genuine in both white and black. I love both so much I have seriously considered buying both in Genuine and this is from someone who has never spent over 350 on a watch. Instead I'm going to order the Aquaracer Rep for now to sate my Tag needs. I just got into the hobby and after weeks of reading this is my first post...this forum is wonderful , I have enjoyed especially the photos by the reviewers like By-Tor. My first orders were placed just recently of an Explorer II white face and a Tag Aquaracer rep. What convinced me most of all to get the reps was that a friend at work just bought a very nice Oris (over $1K) and within a week he dented the stainless steel and was upset. Oris was the watch I was going to buy as it seemed the most affordable of the high quality automatic watches. Now if i dent one of my replicas I don't have to be upset and I can get 4 or 5 of them for the price of that one Oris. Hopefully they are long lasting. Any opinions on the Carrera GMT? I was thinking maybe I should get the Carrera Chronograph since that seems to be a superb replica, but I really like the classic and clean lines of the non Chrono Carreras.

I've found a rep of the carrera (non GMT) with the black date dial (wich one of the most important flaw i think...) in the following site : www.cclv.net I 've ask the website if the GMT exist with the black date dial. They told me yes it exist (the same price). To be checked...but if it's the case can be a good news !

World Traveller Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thanks for the info. There are some really amazing watches on that site. Did you see the Omega with Venus Manual Wind Movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arn555 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I have a rep of the Carrera (Non Chrono and Non GMT) and it has a black date wheel from Josh. The funny thing is I have yet to find a Gen picture of this watch with the black date wheel. Gotta love the world of reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayerman Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) Arn555 => Can you make a small review of this watch (description, photos...), i'm really interested by your point of view ? What model is it (the one with ETA or japanese movement) ? Thanks a lot for your contribution :-) Edited August 19, 2007 by slayerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Still waiting for a good rep of this beauty. I guess i'll end up purchasing a Carrera automatic non GMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookycord Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 How about just modding the datewheel? You would probably want to add gen hands too. Looks like the GMT hand is too fat and short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think it's not worth for 250$.... If it was a one thousand bucks replica i could consider the idea but not for that starting price. Moreover sourcing the gmt hand would be very hard if not impossible.
