TmeShare Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) Just wondering if anyone has actually received a Tag Heuer Grand Carrera from any seller? Things have been very quiet on this watch lately? TimeShare Edited August 2, 2008 by TmeShare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hurry up guys.....am waiting for some pics and review before I order mine.... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_r Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yes, I received a Grand Carrera Calibre 8 RS GMT at the end of last week. Very nice it is too. Unfortunately I can't tell you where it came from as it was given to me by a friend who does a lot of business in China and just came back from a trip. Not a lot of help, I know, but at least it shows they exist... Here's a photo - doesn't do it justice, though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Good looking watch mate. I am waiting for the pics/review of the Calibre 17 (with Calibre 18 on the rotor :-) ) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am waiting for the pics/review of the Calibre 17 (with Calibre 18 on the rotor :-) ) Cheers hehe yeah - I rather fancy a Cal 17 myself too... Funny thing is that I was never much of a Tag fan (apart from the Link), then all of a sudden I just go nuts for 'em - especially the Grand Carrera range. I'm seriously thinking of buying a gen. Go figure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltick Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Here's mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deemaster Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Here's mine! SWEET! Where did you get it with the leather strap? Give is your impressions!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Here's mine! Not to be picky, but the screws on the sec and chrono surrounds look wrong. They are real screws on the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deemaster Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 * The second hand is WAY off from the gen. * As noted, the screw is not real on the registers. * The dial says something completely wrong - something about a depth reading in meters (the minute hand is in the way) but the Gen says "Automatic" * the galuche pattern on the registers is pretty sad. * The applied logo is also incorrect as it's not painted in the background. * something doesn't look right with the date window... not large enough/deep enough... it's more of a rectangle on the gen and come much closer to the 6 marker. * The hour markers don't look as "sharp" or sharply cut. Gen looks like they have a razor edge. ** As everyone knows the rotor is messed up and the case is 3mm to thick Anything else? QUESTION: Are the pushers Screw-Down? QUESTION: What is the general feel of the watch compared to one you've held at an AD? BUT with that said, I don't think 99.9% of people would realize any of this.

deemaster Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I should mention Deltic... CONGRATS! I don't mean to put your new treasure under a microscope but I think you're the first to receive this - or at least post a picture! Please post more in different lighting and on your wrist! Take that puppy outside around 5pm for some cool evening shots. Maybe some good closeups of the back. We all want to share in your excitement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deemaster Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hey Deltic... is this the new suposid "super" Grand Carrera or is this the one of the other versions? Yours is QUITE a bit different than what the sites are advertising. I was under the impression this was the $400ish one... no? Sorry to be megga-posting... as you can see I'm sitting here with nothing better to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 it looks nice, but too many flaws on the dial and the size is off . i doubt this will be a true 'super rep'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmeShare Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) I don't think either of the replicas in this post are the Asian 7750 models. They appear to be asian automatics with a constant sweeping large second hands. Has anyone received the Asian 7750 Grand Carrera?
