Category 5 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 The TAG from Neil arrived yesterday, and it is positively awesome. The finish is among the best of any REP. My only 2 complaints are 1-It's Quartz, and 2-This one is for my Dad, but it's so awesome I have to order another for myself. I wish the Rolly reps were put together this well. ...and sitting in my Gen Aquaracer case...for looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Shes is a beauty in the way she is put together but for me I'm not sure about the dial colour, yes I know it's the same as the gen but just too brown for me. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) Very beautiful. Great pics too. Congrats for a great choice. PS: Why didn't you post to TAG picture gallery section? Posting to brand specific subforums would help people to find these reviews and pictorials easier. Edited July 1, 2006 by By-Tor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Ken I'm sure it would grow on ya ken... Before My LV I would have never bought a green bezel watch Category 5 Did the papers come with it, or did you buy that separately?

Category 5 Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 The papers belong to my Aquaracer Gen. The brown color is too cool in person. The Gen, with a leather strap is the best though. With the borwn leather, and dials (complete with redline) it looks just like a car interior styling. Re: The Tag forum. My bad...too excited to post. The thread can be moved if the Mod is willing.

archibald Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Gorgeous...i wonder what the chance of an auto version being produced is...not too good if the gen is 2894 based, I bet. BTW, pics never do Tag's brown dials justice--they're absolutely gorgeous in person. I have a brown dial monaco, which is a lot more versitile that you'd guess--very slick on the honey python strap to wear out and a great dress watch on chocolate croc. Either way I get a "cool watch" every time i wear it... Great buy...wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Great watch wear it well! I read some where that a screw came loose fom the bracelet from a watch just like you. Better check it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 @retep - Thanks for the heads up. I already tightened the all before shipping the watch off to my dad Where did you read that? i didn't think too many others had this watch yet.

thedoctor Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 That's a nice looking watch. The quartz movement doesn't bother me as I would prefer it over an asian 7750. Plenty of genuine Tag's come with quartz movements, and this model doesn't say automatic on the face, so in my mind, it could be correct.

r11co Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) The screw to worry about on TAG bracelets is the one holding the fliplock on the clasp. If you lose it the whole bracelet will come apart. That watch is beautiful - eyecatchingly different without the garishness of the Orange PO. If it had a 7750 I'd be there like a shot...

By-Tor Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I totally agree. Absolutely nothing wrong with quartz replicas. Especially if they're TAGs...as long as the 2 subdials are centered at 12 when the chrono is reset (like in your watch). I'd much rather take a dead subregister than the useless small 24 hour hand. I doubt they make quartz Carreras but how many people would know? I wish they'd made better Aquaracer chronograph with quartz movement.

Category 5 Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I wish they'd made better Aquaracer chronograph with quartz movement. ??? I have the gen of that watch and think it's one of the best looking Tags there are. I got the quartz because it looks cooler (and better built) than the auto I think.

Guest TTK Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 (edited) Aquaracers are good value...but this is the best value TAG..my original Aquagraph....built like a brick shithouse.......hewn from SOLID steel.........I wish they'd rep this one......!

By-Tor Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Beautiful watch Neil...and fantastic pictures as usual. I agree, that's the nicest TAG hands down...along with the blue Aquaracer 2000 chrono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKTOWN Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Hi BYTOR-- Great pictures, I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago. After seeing your pictures and observations , I can't wait to wear mine. Everbody is so down on quartz, but many don't realise Tag makes genuines with quartz movements. Not this model but what the heck.

robertk Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Beautiful Tag. As I've said before, they are underrated. Neil, It's one of the nicest watches I've seen. It rates up there with the best of ANY sports watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
