Tag Carrera Racing

Hello everybody, am new here.

Am gonna pull a trigger for a rep Carrera (pic 1). What's the obvious mistake between a rep (pic 1) and gen (pic 2)??

All am able to notice is the inner 'hour numbering', the number on the gen one seems placed slightly off on the hour mark. i.e. '05' placed next to the 12 o'clock, whereas on the rep, '05' placed exactly on 1 o'clock.

If you search pics of genuine on the web you can see the replica is very accurate in that.

Genuine pic you posted here is wrong, genuine watch in the flesh is like replica.

I have also noticed the misaligned minute-track on many of the offical pictures of the "Racing"... I don't know the reason for that, it seems very odd... Must be some lack of QC at TAG Heuer..

The newest versions of the Carrera has decorated movement bridges as well, as on the gen. The first batches only had decorated rotor. However, the replica uses blue movement screws, while the gen uses stock steel ones.

A very very good watch!

Thanks for the reply guys. I have following questions,

1. How to differentiate a Swiss 7750 and Asian 7750?

2. The duralability of rep, service cost?

3. Where does the rep made from?

I have my Old man's Gen (white hands) and let me you that the rep is nothing like the gen.

the gen is too 'fine'
