eLiNK Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Makes good reading. Thanks. here's another picture of the genuine blue TAG Link. Just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 My photos will follow, but I wanted to let those interested in this watch, that the TAG Link reps are unbelievable. Remember when the first PAM reps appeared, and how damn nice they were...well these new TAG Links are of the same quality. I ordered and am wearing the new TAG Link Chrono with black dial and brushed SS bezel. It is simply a fantastic watch. Rep or real. I can not say enough good things about the construction and quality of this piece. I hope that my photos will help your opinion, but the photos listed in this post are enough. BUY IT, you'll LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 crap how does one get the push-pins out? Pushing, my first guess, is not working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 crap how does one get the push-pins out? Pushing, my first guess, is not working... There's only one push-pin. The one that's next to the clasp. It's very tight but it comes out. Give it some hammer and keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ugh this thing was a nightmare, the spring-pin in another part was also broke. Ended up just taking it to a local watch guy and leaving it for him to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAHLER Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) Considering that the A/R coatings is object of a lot of discussions, I have asked an official explanation to the Tag-Heuer and also the exact dimensions of the CJF2114.BA0576... this is the reply mail of Tag-Heuer : Dear Client, on the A/R coatings the sapphire of CJF2114.BA0576 doesn't have it. For the exact dimensions in comparison to the CJF2110.BA0576 are the same : 42mm diameter, 46mm diameter with crown, 48mm height, 16mm thickness. Greeting we remember that are here for every explanation. Regards. Mahler Edited September 18, 2006 by MAHLER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahler Neil also said that it doesn't have AR but yhanks for the "official" confirmation. Yeah, the dial and crystal are quite reflective but IMO it's part of this watch's appeal. It's one of the trickiest watch to photograph though. I gotta try and shoot a few new pics of it one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fendushi Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Talking of the bracelet, I brought this issue up in my earlier (crappier) thread regarding this same watch. There is one screw-bar in the bracelet holding the claps/flip-lock section, and I advise any owner of one of these reps to remove this screw and reset it using thread-lock as otherwise the movement of the flip-lock when putting on/taking off the watch will eventually loosen the screw. At best you will lose the screw and at worst the watch will come off your wrist and hit the floor. If you are unfortunate enough to lose the screw then visit your local opticians and ask for a selection of screws for holding nose-pads onto wire-frame spectacles. You will probably have to shorten the replacement but one will fit. Thank You.... very good info.... I wouldn't have noticed those screws at all... they are now at a constant watch till i can get my hands on some thread-lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feta1 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thank You.... very good info.... I wouldn't have noticed those screws at all... they are now at a constant watch till i can get my hands on some thread-lock. I have this watch from Andrew... beautiful watch. I know this might be a dumb question, but what it "thread lock"??? I can see the clasp on mine is loose so I tighted it... is there something else I should do?

Mickey Padge Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 It means dabing a tiny amount of glue on the thread before screwing it in place. Like loctite, I do the same thing with my radio control car to stop the screws dropping out. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjabo Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) This watch looks GREAT, except for the date font in some of the pictures is just horrendous. . . . I think it was the numbers 9 and 21 in the brushed case models on the first page that were absurd. Are some of the numbers really that bad, or am I just seeing things that aren't really there? I guess it's not a huge deal to me if it's really just an issue with the brushed case models, because I REALLY like this watch in black dial Senna version!

You are right that the first version of the Link Chrono had a rather bad date font, looked like some homemade "Times new Roman" datewheel... But the latest version is way better. You can easily distinguish between version 1 and 2 by looking at the subdial@9.. 2006 Version has a bigger subdial@9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwyn Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 The gen Link chronographs use quartz, ETA 7750 and El Primero. The model line starts from Link Quartz chronograph, then Link Automatic Chronograph (ETA Valjoux 7750)... and Calibre 36 (the top model) uses Zenith El Primero. PS: Thanks all for your comments, appreciated! I HAVE READ YOUR REVIEW AND BOUGHT ONE FROM PT AS YOU RECOMMENDED.YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT BUYING FROM HIM IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF THE UK,I ASKED HIM TO RE-SIZE THE WATCH FOR ME BECAUSE OF AN INJURY TO MY RIGHT HAND,NO PROBLEM HE DID IT FOR ME AND NO CHARGE.DELIVERY WAS TWO DAYS FROM ORDERING ALL IN ALL A FIRST CLASS DEALER WHO I SHALL USE AGAIN. COULD YOU TELL ME,DOES THE WATCH NEED A SERVICE OILING ETC? AND ONE FINAL POINT,MY WATCH KEEPS MISTING UP INSIDE THE DIAL,AND THATS AFTER WEARING THE WATCH FOR TWO DAYS,SO IT SHOULD HAVE REACHED AN BALANCED TEMP.I COULD UNDERSTAND WHEN I FIRST WORE IT.ANY IDEAS?

alwyn Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 You haven't worn it while showering, I hope? No nothing silly like that,I have six other watches and I have never had a problem like this before.It looks like I will have to send it back for servicing by PT the dealer that I bought it from,its going to turn out an expensive watch for me.
