High five! :D

Please could someone help me out real quick and assure me that there are no reps of this watch?

Should be this I guess:

Any comments on the watch?

Thanks!

I think it is genuine. Has seen some reps of this. Easy to rep since it is a quartz, however the engravings on this looks too good.

Too late, I guess.. It has sold, to you?.

Yes. I was looking for the older quartz chrono from bourne identity but the price seemed nice on this one (though without box or papers) so I pulled the trigger on it.. Hope I didn't overpay?

Just wanted to be sure before sending the payment.. Do you know where I could find pics of the rep?

Thanks..

I have not seen a rep yet that could replicate the ETA movement (251.262) used in this watch...even though it is a quartz.

You see, the top-right subdial does the 1/10th second counter. So far, all quartz Link reps have two 60-counter subdials (minutes and seconds).

I am confident that what you are buying is a gen.

EDIT: I said earlier that F1 reps also have that crappy quartz japanese movement. Turns out it's not true.

It exists quartz-replicas which use the genuine ETA 251 movement, with 1/10 sec subdial.

The only I can recall at the moment are the Porsche Quartz chrono and the TAG Heuer Indy 500.

The Indy is a cheapie at 105 USD. It has the 1/10 counter@2. Guess this has a Japanese movement.

The Porsche is advertised with ETA 251. It has also the split-seconds function.

Nice watch, but quite expensive at 395 USD.

Congrats Tom, and enjoy... it's really nice!

Link bracelet could be my all time favorite bracelet on ANY watch. Pure genius and very original & great innovation by TAG.

Thank you. It indeed is very comfortable. I have been wearing this watch everyday since I got it, although it is quartz.. Originally I wanted to buy a Speedmaster but I got the Link for around 600 Euros so I had to pull the trigger on it. Now I am trying to convince myself to still buy the Speedmaster, which is an awesome watch but somehow I am pretty satisfied with the Link.. :/
