First Impressions: King Tag Carrea Racing Chrono

[topgun]

The watch took about 5 days to arrive. King is a good dealer to do business with; I will definitely order from her again. The shipping was free; that in itself saves about $25 to $30 USD.

Anyway here it goes:

The watch arrived in a brown package and inside there was a styrofoam rectangular box with an upper and lower half sealed with a tan plastic tape. When the tape was removed and the two halves of the box separated, the watch was inside a zip-lock bag and that was wrapped in bubble wrap. I was impressed by the packaging as I never received anything packaged like this from from the other approved dealers on the board.

The watch was flawlessly polished. I can't detect any defects on the dial front, or back. Its exquisite for a rep.

The black rubber strap is a little stiff in comparison to the gen I tried on at Macy's, but its not that bad.

I don't know what to say about the date font. Maybe someone on the board can tell me if has the right date font or not when I send in some pics.

All of the chrono functions work. The start-stop pushbutton is a little stiff when operating, but it works. The reset pushbutton works well also. The red chrono hands line up perfectly when reset.

I can't see any irregularities in the major or minor graduations, or the numbers on the sub-dials and main dial. The dial detail and engraving on the back is remarkable.

I'm sure when I send some pics, a few things will be pointed out by better trained eyes.

I hope the sapphire crystal lives up to its reputation for being scratch resistant because I'm not accustomed to having a large dial on my wrist; I already rubbed up against a shopping cart, and other things in the super market this evening.

All-in-all, I'm very satisfied, and I can be very picky when it comes to detail, no matter what it is.

Pics to follow.

Congrats to your Carrera Racing. Got one myself and is very happy with it. Take it easy with the Chrono though, not good to play around with.

Now post some pics!
