By-Tor Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Posted this same thing almost a year ago. Still no decent rep available. What's keeping? TAG Aquaracer 2000 Automatic Chronograph:
jraines87 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Same here BT I've been waiting on this one forever. Doesn't seem like the selection is very large in the tag arena.... The quality of the ones available seem to be good, jut not a large selection.
Category 5 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 (edited) So I'm not the only fan of Tag Heuer....even though it still feels lonely. Aquaracer Auto Chrono... New Carrera Chrono Auto... Who do I paypal?! Edited July 17, 2006 by Category 5
By-Tor Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Posted July 2, 2006 Yep. Too bad TAG gets little respect... and most WIS look TAG down their noses. But all their higher end models are very attractive. The Link Chronograph series and Aquaracer 2000 Chrono especially. Lovely watches. I think I have to buy the new Link Chrono rep.
ryaku Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Fully agree, Aquaracer is gorgeous. Andrew has a replica but it's not accurate at all (it's pretty cheap and has asian movement inside). Let's hope manufacturers will make a new accurate replica, as good as last Link chronograph.
retep Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 This is the one i would buy in a heartbeat if there were any good ones!
object07 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 This is the one i would buy in a heartbeat if there were any good ones! Yeah i'm with ya, i wanted one for years and the reps are so bad I had to buy a gen No decent Monza reps either it seems - I wonder why, they are very desirable watches imho
ber jupiler Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) This is the one i would buy in a heartbeat if there were any good ones! Yup but than the Steve MC version, blue dail and orange markers and hands, the autavia is also pretty sweet, but when the real monaco v4 comes out, i'm the first to get one regardless of the price (up to 10.000 usd will be ok) Edited July 4, 2006 by ber jupiler
MikeC65 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 Hey, that is my watch! I have the gen of that exact one... the CAF2112. Picked it up for 60% off at the Lord & Taylor going out of business sale... so I know it's real I will try to post a picture of it soon. It really is gorgeous. I have 7 reps but that gen Tag is the one I wear most of the time. Posted this same thing almost a year ago. Still no decent rep available. What's keeping? TAG Aquaracer 2000 Automatic Chronograph:
halley Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 Yeah make an aquaracer and carrera both with 7750 and easily repable! Still the monaco is one of my favs
By-Tor Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Posted July 17, 2006 Just to bump this old thread... found a new shot of my favourite TAG.
Category 5 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 I must have one. Damnit By-Tor...now you're messin' with my wallet!!!! Just to bump this old thread... found a new shot of my favourite TAG.
By-Tor Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Posted July 17, 2006 I must have one. Damnit By-Tor...now you're messin' with my wallet!!!! Yeah, I probably need to buy the gen soon.
Category 5 Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Yeah, I probably need to buy the gen soon. Well...there you have it. Just goes to show how weak I am. The watch is on its' way. I'll post some pix when I get it. Now I just need to find the dough for marriage couseling. A couple more watches and it's either that or my wife is going to send me to the psychiatrist!

I'm jealous. Did you go for the blue one? I've been searching for the preowned ones at Ebay today. Most deals can be found at US...I'm glad I'm in EU and always have the possible customs issue. Makes impulse buys much more difficult.

Most deals can be found at US...I'm glad I'm in EU and always have the possible customs issue. Makes impulse buys much more difficult. Yes...Blue! I am very excited. Ashford had it on sale for $1154 until midnight tonight so I rationalized. Buyer's remorse later...excitement now!!! Pre owned ones on the eBay go for $1000 or less all the time...but I've yet to see a blue one (pre owned).
By-Tor Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Posted July 18, 2006 Cool. Like I said I really am jealous. That's one of the best looking chronographs I know. Post tons of pictures here in the TAG area when it arrives. And congrats again!!!
cpt390 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) In 1985 I opened a magazine and saw a picture of the (Pre Tag) Heuer 2000 Chronograph. I bought it 2 hours later. The old band wore out long ago due to the pounding it got. I replaced it with a hidden hasp Hirsch president band that has an H on the clasp so it looks factory. It has never missed a beat. I even have the box and the cardboard sleeve the box fits in. I don't even mind that's it's "Quartz". Edited July 23, 2006 by cpt390
fitmic Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 This is the one i would buy in a heartbeat if there were any good ones! Same here! Give it to me baby!
By-Tor Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 Beautiful black Heuer. Thanks for sharing the pics. Actually I wasn't aware that this model is so old. Your Heuer has very similar design with the new AR2000.
cpt390 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 @ By-Thor I realized after doing some reading that I bought it in 1984. 1985 is when Tag merged with Heuer and became Tag Heuer. Notice this one is not a "Tag" Short history of Tag Heuer

Notice this one is not a "Tag" Short history of Tag Heuer Yes, I'm well aware of the TAG/Heuer history. Thanks for the link though, never seen that one before.
tag Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 I do like some Tag Heuer designs a lot (Aquaracer, Monza, Monaco, Carrera chrono, F1). At the same time I hate Kirium, 2000 and 6000 series. Link's dial is great but the bracelet screws up the watch. So in the end I find it hard to justify their prices. Tag Heuer watches are not cheaper than Omega but its brand value is lower. They use a lot of quartz. Can anybody compare Omega's co-axial caliber with Tag Heuer's caliber 36? Actually I have a 2000€ budget to buy a gen and was thinking of Omega but... still hesitating... How about Tudor, Oris, Tag Heuer... What woul you suggest. Thanks for your help.
swdivad Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 I bought the Link Calibre 36... great Zenith El Primero movement, although between the busy dial, lack of lume, and my own Tag stigma, I decided to let it go... Bought my PAM 091 instead. Here's a few shots:
