ahchard Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Does anybody know if the casebacks are accurate on the 2004 Senna? The gen is supposed to have a special caseback while the rep has the standard caseback. Is that correct? hmmm... good question there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahchard Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 November 25, 2004 Tag Heuer introduces Ayrton Senna Limited Edition 2004 watch Ten years after the untimely loss of Formula One racing driver, Ayrton Senna, TAG Heuer is introducing a commemorative timepiece: the Link Automatic Chronograph: Ayrton Senna Limited Edition 2004. Tag Heuer Ayrton Senna Limited Edition 2004 watch Click image to enlarge As a tribute to Senna's speed, the polished fixed bezel features a tachometer scale. Senna's helmet colours - the colours of the Brazilian flag - adorn the dial (the dial's face is blue, the 9 o'clock counter has a green hand, the Ayrton Senna autograph appears in yellow at 4 o'clock) and the tachometer scale calibrations on the bezel are in black. Senna's logo, Senna's coloured helmet, the words "LIMITED EDITION" and the limited edition number are engraved on the customized case back. Royalty revenues from the Link Senna 2004 will be invested in social projects organized by the Ayrton Senna Foundation for Brazilian underprivileged children. The Ayrton Senna watch will be available in December at a retail price of $4300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddiep Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Bought mine from Josh. It is just about perfect EXCEPT for the date window issue. I have to manually center the date each day, but it is not something that anyone (except the wearer) would notice. I went to an AD to look at an Aquaracer and the sales person marveled at my Link Rep. I HIGHLY recommend this watch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 does this watch have the issue of chrono's not resetting perfectly? No particular issues with the movement as fitted to these reps (beyond what has already been said about the latest Asia 7750 clone movement). Mine resets perfectly every time, even when it wasn't running 100% due to a gravity compensation spring breaking (which was replaced by my favourite watchmaker!!) I'll say it again like I was first to say it in here - this is up there with the 2892 Omega Seamasters and the MBW vintage Subs - accuracy and dimensions are 100% to the extent genuine parts will fit with no modification! The only flaws are a datewheel that looks trange not because there is a problem with the movement but because it has been printed off centre, as confirmed by my watchmaker (hey Mark/Finepic - fancy making a batch of these up??!!! ), and the model number on the caseback is one digit out (actually the model number of the brushed bezel version).

Perfectionist Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I gotta get one ..... What's the best price on these ...... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Expect to pay circa $250. One dealer (who shall remain nameless) was selling for under $200 but there was a crucial difference in their model - it had a thinner case and used a brass movement spacer, whereas with the gen and best reps the movement fits the case with no spacer.

TiberiousT Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 November 25, 2004 . Senna's logo, Senna's coloured helmet, the words "LIMITED EDITION" and the limited edition number are engraved on the customized case back. Thanks ahchard. Well I was starting to warm to the Senna. Cool limited edition watch that I could take off at an AD,place on the jewlers matt , and try on other watches without worrying that the salesperson would pick up and identify as a Rep. Back to square one I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I am wearing the new TAG Link Chrono - Black dial brushed SS Bezel The Link case and bracelets are the same in both models. Dial and polished bezel being the only difference. In my opinion these TAG Links are top of the line right now, especially for the cost. Certainly rivaling the quality of the Omega's and many PAM's. I highly recommend these watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 does the original come with a black dial, or just the blue stated in ahchards post? It looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
