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?.

Tom Hawkes Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) 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..

anton Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) 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.

Tom Hawkes Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 So that means there are reps with the 1/10s subdial movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 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. http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1799 The Porsche is advertised with ETA 251. It has also the split-seconds function. http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=2068 Nice watch, but quite expensive at 395 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hawkes Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Hmhm.. Well, thanks.. Guess I will be seeing what I bought in a couple of days. Will post pictures, maybe someone is interested in them.. Edited October 24, 2008 by Tom Hawkes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hawkes Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 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.. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
