I've been very tempted but can't get myself to pull the trigger on it. If you can accept the frozen subdial at 6, then get it. It's a damn well made rep, easily the best one I own.

Junior88 387 Posted March 23, 2018 So today, my new Tag Heuer SpaceX DhGate cheapie arrived. I'm not a fan of the strap colour, but it IS growing on me just a little. The feel is phenomenal, I really like the way this strap and deployant buckle fit and feel. The watch itself is nice and heavy. The dial is well printed, even if the subdials are printed all wrong. The bottom dial should be numbered 1 thru 12, and the top one should have 30 at the top, 10 and the 4 o'clock mark, and 20 at the 8 o'clock mark. The chronograph obviously does not work. The top pusher moves the hand on the top subdial, and the other pusher moves the hand where the space capsule is. The bottom hand seems to move of it's own accord, for some unknown function. Date wheel is set via the crown. Case is a hefty 44.5mm, and is 17.2mm thick. All in all, another nice addition to my small collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glaude 1,615 Posted March 23, 2018 The @6 subdial isn't a 24h by any chance ? Nice addition, and the strap looks great, it always draws my attention when I see it on the gate ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice addition, and the strap looks great, it always draws my attention when I see it on the gate ! It could very well be, @Glaude. I'll know more by morning, but it looks that way. The strap is a darker tan than the picture on DHGate looks. I was expecting almost yellow when I ordered it. It isn't the dark brown that the original watch comes with, and one I'm going to order. But it's VERY soft, and comfortable, and the deployant clasp for it is a thing of beauty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem solved .... for now! Then after that ... buy the 36-slot watch case. I'll agree with you, but only partially. I'll put the 116520 on M2M, right after I've ordered an identical Noob 4130 clone. Then I'll package up my SpaceX, at the same time you package up your LMPO.......
