TAG Heuer Cal 1887

Hello Gents, 

This is my first rep but i don't regret the decision one bit...  I love watches and i was drooling for this one for about a year now, but couldn't afford to spend 4k on it. 

 

After 2 days of use :

Good points :

- Brilliant Quality - Exceeded my expectations and then some. 

- No hand winding needed. Gave it a couple of swirls and it was good to go. 

- After wearing it for 8 hours at work being semi-active it kept time during the following night for 12 hours. No adjustments were needed this morning. ( I've seen comments with some stopping after 6-8-10 hours ) 

(Side note - is it mentioned anywhere how much time it's supposed to work on it's own ? )

- Details are spot on - only one difference that i could tell is that the mechanism has some ( not all ) blue screws instead of silver ones.

- 2 and 4 side buttons are not stiff. Chrono works great. ( I stuck to the 10 and 2 rule nonetheless )

 

Not so good points : 

- Bracelet is a bit abrasive and has very sharp edges

- Tag logo on the bracelet does not look like the original one.  The A from TAG has a rounded middle line whereas the real one has a straight line

 

All in all - very happy with it. If it doesn't stop working for the next month, my list to follow is long :):D 

 

Cheers ! :)

Kuvarsit. 358$ After payment and quality check, it was delivered in 5 days. Super quick 

 

Side-note - New record of 16 hours of sitting on the bedside table without stopping or losing time...

very nice

Does the chrono start button is hard to push or soft? cause mine is strictly hard.

Sorry to say that, but the 5 of the 15  @15 seems to be a little upper that the 1.

The chrono button is hard to push indeed. I checked that it works when i received the watch and never pressed it again.

The 1 and 5 from the 15 are perfectly in line. You have that feeling because of the angle of the photo.

Edited: The build looks nice! I want the blacksteel one, too bad some trusted dealers like Ryan don’t have it available anymore since 2 weeks or so.

Great comment for a thread with no pictures. Trying to gain access to M2M area I guess?

Maybe he has some special powers of vision, as it's not the only post like it....
