Slowlow 0 Posted April 15, 2011 I'm looking for a a good replica of a tag f1 chrono with a metal strap and a red or orange face. My friend really wants one, but can only find them on dodgy looking hong kong sites. I know they are thousands new so they probably aren't a popular copy. I've tried getting him to buy a new genuine one, but he won't part with the money. Can someone recommend a good one? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slowlow 0 Posted April 16, 2011 This is a pic I took in the tag shop in Florida when I was trying to get him to buythe original. It's the red one, but they come with an orange face too. This is the White version. He'd look at the alarm version too in red or orange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnG 41 Posted April 17, 2011 I got one for a friend, black dial, from Mary. Excellent copy. However, Mary used to be the least expensive, now she is not so much. I just got a watch from her that cost 153, plus 35 shipping, that I later found out another dealer (timesshop) has for 138 plus 10 shipping (if you choose regular airmail, which Mary doesn't offer). And Mary tacks on a percentage for PayPal. In the end the watch cost me about $50 more than it would have from Timeshop. Sad to say, that is the last watch I order from Mary.

Member X 91 Posted April 17, 2011 I think there are some excellent copies of the TAGs out there. I was very kindly gifted this one: It's quartz like the gen and apparently has the same movement and even the same battery! (I've not verified this though.) I would wear it if I could actually get the bracelet to fit - I've only got a 6.75" wrist and even with all the links taken out, it is still too big for me I like mine snug, not loose! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onionbag 1 Posted April 17, 2011 A colleague is getting a gen as a wedding gift from his future wife. He's suggested I buy a rep and we can compare them, so that looks like another spend for me ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
