Tag Heuer Link Chronograph

[ryaku]

I just got that watch from King, always very kind and patient.

10 days from payment. No customs issue at all (not marginal, i'm in EU).

Watch accuracy is....muhahahahaha...ops, sorry, i can't stop laughing...it's stunning.

Currently i can point out just one flaw: data font isn't well centered in data window and it's a flaw of mine.

I asked King to check my watch twice before shipping and i'm afraid she said "yes i'll do" but actually didn't.

And it bothers me a bit, i'm too anal.

Also she should have sent me an omega clasp. She didn't.

I took some pics, sorry for quality, i'm pretty green.

King package.

Awful to see but successful.

Here u can see the date font position issue. It makes me mad...

Finally a wrist shot, no serious review can lack it (just kiddin').

Cheers

Very nice indeed.... the date would bother me too! Maybe it's a small fix? Take it to a local jeweler and ask.

Watch is really gorgeous and accurate. Pics, as usual, don't convey its beauty.

I'll take to a local watchmaker soon, so i'll take also the opportunity to get it serviced if i find someone disposed to work on replicas.

[Dario33]

Looks great, I may have to pick one of the beauties up.

[robertk]

You made a great choice. The watch is one of the nicest tag's and realllly accurate. I wouldn't let the date issue bother me, but you're Anal, so you have my sympathy.

However, be aware that NOBODY EXCEPT YOU will ever notice!!

Congratulations

[eLiNK]

wow, looks stunning.

Are there any flaws?

Has anyone compared the blue on the rep to the genuine blue?

How does it compare?

[eLiNK]

I believe it has a screw-down crown.

How's the quality? Any foreseeable problems?

Here's a pic of the gen.

The website said the dial is blue.

Sorry, no photo yet, but I wanted to add my opinion on the new generation of TAGS.

I am wearing my new favorite watch, that I received from Josh.

TAG Link Chrono - Black dial - brushed SS bezel.

It is without doubt the nicest dial and bracelet out there today.

When I can post a few pictures I will give more details.

If you have been waiting for some additional good reviews of this watch in order to make a decision to buy, then don't wait any longer. This watch is as good as a rep gets. Period!

[MAHLER]

Considering that the A/R coatings is object of a lot of discussions,

I have asked an official explanation to the Tag-Heuer and also

the exact dimensions of the CJF2114.BA0576...

this is the reply mail of Tag-Heuer :

Dear Client,

on the A/R coatings the sapphire of CJF2114.BA0576 doesn't have it.

For the exact dimensions in comparison to the CJF2110.BA0576 are the same :

42mm diameter, 46mm diameter with crown, 48mm height, 16mm thickness.

Greeting we remember that are here for every explanation.

Regards.

I have the slightly different white face Tag chrono. it is not as accurate due to the date font, but it is a beautiful watch. I got mine from River for $209 inc express delivery.

What do you think?

It's a large picture you may want to resize it

It's nice, I would mod the date font...

[Mickey Padge]

I would love to be able to change the date font, but alas I know nobody that I can send the watch too

There is also a tiny hair at the 12 position, stuck under the crystal right at the top which I would love to have removed. I can live with it, but if somebody wants to point me in the right direction

Cheers!

Well, The Zigmeister, Finepics or Palpatine can help you to get the hair out of it, maybe they can also fix the date problem. I dunno.

Interesting, are any of those fine Gentlemen UK or EU based? I am pretty sure The Zigmeister is in the USA.

[fitmic]

Finepics is in the UK if I'm not totally way off!

[bkdc]

I have a theory that the date window on the rep is smaller to avoid problems with seeing the adjacent dates due to the recessed date wheel on the Asian 7750.

I'd prefer a genuine size date window.

Is that the correct crown? I found this on an ebay guide to tag heuer fakes:

Gen crown:

Rep crown:

The crown on the photo looks like the rep crown photo. However I am not sure what the correct crown is for this watch. I suppose I should look at one at an AD

The crown on the pic of the blue faced model shown above is correct for a gen, and the replica crown is an exceptionally good imitation in this case.

Thanks for the info! Good to know.
