razvanbar Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 This is one of the watches I most like. Looking at the web site http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/car...w=CV2014.BA0786 i have found some strange things:the fixed bezel has wrong inside markings: the 60 mark is actually around 56... nevertheless, the website says it is 100m water resistant but it's just 50 (according to the product card)... Does anyone know what happened to the website in this case? is the gen looking this "wrong" or is there any reason to put the 60 inside marking in the wrong position??? 10x
razvanbar Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Also... ths would be a great moment to tell you about my new Tag... I have bought it from another forum member (slask111). It took about a month to get to me due to bad postal services, around 30 phone calls both from me and from the sender to the postal offices and plenty of headaches but... in the end it looks great. Now i'm looking at it and at the one in the Tag Heuer's website and I'm laughing my heart out... why would anyone need the 60 mark at 57...??? I didn't have the time to see pros and cons but... it looks great. Thanks slask111 for helping and please put some pics of your Pam:) Edited January 18, 2009 by razvanbar
slask111 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Woho thats a nice looking watch Wear it well my friend, its a spot on rep. Be sure to find The Zigmeister and his amazing AR work, the Carrera really stands out with double AR. As i mentioned to you earlier.. it never stops ;D *edit* spelling like a ***** Edited January 18, 2009 by slask111

slask111 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Dont think the gen has AR. But the dial looks so sweet with double AR I think the gen doesn't have AR as well ?
razvanbar Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 Gen doesn't have AR... did you get 2AR on the Link Slask? I'm not sure i'll get this one ARed... It wouldn't look as gen as it does... Still.. the 60 mark is still bugging me? Did TH make the mistake of putting the 60 marking wrong??? Normally this wouldn't happen on a 3000$ watch... Yet, on their site, i have found another mistake... the 50 versus 100m waterproof... Maybe they are not paying that much attention to details:):)
digitalnrg Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 This is a great looking watch and it looks real nice with black strap w/red stitches. I have one coming my way.
nikki6 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Nope, TH didn't make the mistake of putting the 60 in the wrong place. The internal bevel can be moved with one of the chrono buttons. I have the same watch, I can't see the pic but I know the model you are talking about.

The internal bevel can be moved with one of the chrono buttons. I have the same watch, I can't see the pic but I know the model you are talking about. Well... give us more details... that sounds interesting but I think most things are the same as the other Tag Heuer Carrera cronographs... and the others don't even have numerals on the bevel. Is this one so different? I saw TH promotes the BradPitt one more... @digitalnrg: wow... black and red on the strap also... that sounds even better than TH did it...
slask111 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 No i never got the Link AR coated. I did send it to Jakub for AR and DW swap but that didnt work out well as you may know. I was one of the lucky who got their stuff back, no modding had been done though. But i havent given up on the idea yet The gen Link dosent have AR either, but i dont care. The dial really pops with good AR. cheers Gen doesn't have AR... did you get 2AR on the Link Slask? I'm not sure i'll get this one ARed... It wouldn't look as gen as it does...

mojako Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Here's mine - got this from a forum member who got it from King. My 9 o'clock marking is a little shorter than Razvanbar's and my AR sucks. Where did you get yours Razvanbar? Who can apply AR in the US?
razvanbar Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 Mine has NO AR at all and I think it's going to stay that way:)... it looks ARed due to the good lighting in the room and the point of camera flash. It would not look like the gen with the AR done... yet it would look even better with AR:). Strap looks great... where did you buy it from? how much did it cost? I got myself from Slask who bought it from joshua. I didn't see the little shorter 9 o'clock marking but maybe i didn't look right.
repfreak Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 I have one for trade, its a great pcs! Mine is from kings too! http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=47...hlight=repfreak
mojako Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 i see. Thought yours had AR. Got the strap from here -> http://stores.ebay.com/chronoking_W0QQssPa...fsxQ3asstQQtZkm He's a seller in Singapore - very nice straps for $30
repfreak Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 no ar, haha. tell me if you got something to trade. I still think the SS bracelet is the best. i see. Thought yours had AR. Got the strap from here -> http://stores.ebay.com/chronoking_W0QQssPa...fsxQ3asstQQtZkm He's a seller in Singapore - very nice straps for $30
z3k0 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Nope, TH didn't make the mistake of putting the 60 in the wrong place. The internal bevel can be moved with one of the chrono buttons. I have the same watch, I can't see the pic but I know the model you are talking about. Where did you get that idea ? I've held gen in my hands few times, and definitely haven't notices any rotating bevels ? This picture has been discussed many times here, they probably just did something wrong in Photoshop, when composing this picture. regards

Fidestro Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Two points: The bezel on this model can not be rotated. Let's put that to rest. Second point is, it is getting pointless to compare reps to gens using photos from the manufacturer websites as many INTENTIONALLY create flaws on their own photos to throw off rep makers who reproduce watches from photos. It is not uncommon for them to add wrong numbers or adjust colors for the website to throw the factories off.
yaron Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Why bother with wrong web pictures? Our reps are well aligned. it's really a nice sports watch.

arminvanbuuren Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 well if it was me id change the datewheel before having it AR'd ..
musicale Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 Mine has ETA 7750 and K2222 double AR (before he did a runner), and it looks unbelievable. Better than the gen!
vintagelover Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 This carrera has been in my radar for I long time and I am finally going to pull the trigger in a week or two. I have heard that the rep is very good and that the quality overall is quite good aswell, is that true?
