southcoast68 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 Hi all I was just browsing around the web and came across this; It's not from one of the approved dealers here (I removed the name from the pic), but it is a dealer I have used before with good results. Anyway, can any one of the TAG faithful tell me if this is a fantasy model. It's not on the TAG official site and I cannot find any other info on it (yet). I am thinking that this one along with a blue dial day/date version would look real sweet in my collection. Thanks in advance for any information. Cheers
Shundi Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Now, if you wanted a very true to gen model....check out my sales post Sorry, shameless plug.
southcoast68 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah, total fantasy model. Looks cheap too. Yeah, but I may pick one up anyway. If I do, I'll review it (although my photo skills are lightyears behind yours).

I just took a look at your sales post again (for the twentyth time in the past couple days). Even though its the black dial, I'd love to have it, I'm just tight on cash. I need to put up a few more of mine for sale (if life ever grants me the time to photo them and put them up). Good luck on the sale, who knows, if I can swing it, I just may grab it off you. Cheers.
Daytona4me Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 FYI, If you buy this fantasy above, you should know that you are getting a smaller model than the ones Shundi , By-Tor and I own. Look at the pushers, those pushers are found on the 42mm model not on the 44mm. I bet you will be sorry you wasted the money on something like this.
southcoast68 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Posted June 27, 2008 Thanks for all the input. This sellers site (Brand9Ave) states that it is 43mm dia. and 15mm thick case, its also states that it is a asia7750 full working chrono. (of course all dealers have some incorrect info. from time to time whether intentional or not). Other sites show similar model with faux chrono for cheaper, but the dial is different. Well, its not like I have $240 to throw away, so I'll probably table this for further thought later. If it indeed has the same case size and weight as the normal Aquaracer, and indeed does have a full working chrono., I would not mind having one. I'm just weird that way.
By-Tor Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 That watch does NOT have Asian 7750 with full working chrono. Trust me, it has a quartz movement. If I were you, I'd stay the hell away from this watch.
fakemaster Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 the picture looks good. What the hell is eastarbiz? Thanks for all the input.

By-Tor Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 Actually I was wrong about this rep. Looks like it really comes with Asian 7750, old low-beat version. The wandering '6 subdial in the initial photo tricked me (typical problem with the old Asian 7750). Weird that they have made a complete fantasy model of this (as far as I know this is fantasy). King has it too. Sorry, my mistake. PS: I wouldn't mind a blue dial (date only) version.
