digitalnrg Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 My first real timepiece and what helped lead me too my new expensive addiction! Gen Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 17 L.E. RS2 Cyfer, that's a stunning Tag...oh la la Welcome to the forum pal. Now go cancel all your expensive dates with your other half
By-Tor Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 I agree... stunning Grand Carrera! And ditto... welcome to RWG!
Cyfer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks for the comments on the Tag and the welcome fellow addicts! I agree. I've looked at Tag's for a while, but when I saw this RS2, I decided I was going to buy the real deal. It was waaay too secksy to pass up. Yea, so I've only been on the site for say, less than 2 days and have already purchased my first rep, not to mentioned wasted another day at work using up bandwidth for all the "research" I'm doing. Picked up a LV Tambour Chrono from TrustyTime this afternoon and now I sit and wait... Most likely won't be able to hold myself back from buying another rep. Someone stop me!!! Also, seeing all the beautiful Tags on this thread, I thought we needed a Tag with some movement in it. So decided to take this video at work today. Shows off seconds and chrono movement on the RS2.
By-Tor Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 The running seconds on Grand Carrera is very cool innovation... and a slight break from the traditional design. Very refreshing to have something unique, especially if you're collecting watches. Thanks for sharing!
mikewik Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Anyone selling his genuine date-only blue Aquaracer chrono? The day-date rep is almost perfect but I have still decided to buy the gen as I like the smaller date-only model even more. I just missed a deal at TZ... a good one was sold for $900 only. Lovin' this watch. Amazon has it. http://www.amazon.com/TAG-Heuer-Aquaracer-...558&sr=1-23

Very refreshing to have something unique, especially if you're collecting watches. Thanks for sharing! I'm with you By-Tor. I'm totally sold on the running second. I wonder when the factory is going to fix the misprint on the rotor.
digitalnrg Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 My 1st rep. Was sold a while ago and somehow I'm missing it. The bracelet on this one is probably the best of the best I've ever seen. My latest tag, but maybe up for sale soon.

I wonder when the factory is going to fix the misprint on the rotor. Sorry but I'm going to have to disagree here BT, please indulge me... The running secs/minute counters on the GC subdials is nowhere near being an "innovation" or "unique" in movement terms - it is simply a rotating disc no different in design or execution than a DW on a normal chrono movement (RS 'trim' or not). Here's a better word for it...."gimmick" Honestly, if you want innovation, there's plenty to talk about within the stable, the c.360 Carrera, the long-awaited V4 Monaco, even the hugely underrated (and affordable Calibre S (in Aquaracer, Link, or the new SLR guise). All of which are either proper 'heritage' pedigree married to technical innovation, or in the case of the cS, just simply innovation. The Grand Carrera in such company with its rotating discs, is simply a charlatan. However, whilst it's no secret I'm not a fan of the series (bland, gimmicky, ill-proportioned etc.), I have to say that Cyfer's 'black steel' version is certainly eye-catching. Horses for courses I guess.
TK471 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 Here's mine. A recent acquisition to scratch an itch.

P4GTR Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Here's mine. A recent acquisition to scratch an itch. I saw this watch at Littman this week, 50% off. Had to walk around in deep thought for a while trying to decide. (No-go, I can't afford even at half off ) I was actually there to borrow their help resizing my band as my tools were not handy. Took two links out, fresh polished and fitted. Mine as well be brand new. I'm glad none of you bums bought it when I wanted to sell it! Gen Link Calibre6 Auto
seafoam Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 My first real watch purchase was the yellow Formula 1 i bought when i as 16. Ahh, the memories. And now I have the updated version at 38. Both gens.
