Very nice - excellent choice!

 

Two questions I hope you don't mind answering:

 

- are all the minute markers aligned correctly?

- some numbers seem off (15, 35, 50); ist that just an illusion or per gen or just slightly off?

 

Am looking at the gen for a very long time now and might just pick up one of these puppies.

I noticed this too and just emailed Mary to see if its gen specific or if I have an issue. Good eye. I'll let you know what I find out. Hope she's good to work with after receiving goods.

i have both gen and the rep. the main problem:

 

1) reh rep black dial is not as black as the gen

2) the AR sapphire crystal bluish color is different

3) the rep red color chrono needle is not as bright as gen

 

but i still like the rep

Still waiting for a response from Mary about the minute markers not being aligned. Now that I can tell they aren't perfect it bugs the hell out of me. Also, the TAG badge doesn't have the little arrows on the G. :(

Sorry Slim, the tag arrow is a well known deal with Carrera reps. My numbers are roughly the same as yours. My favorite rep for sure.

Mary can't really do anything about the missaligned markers, as long as you got qc and accepted its more or less out of her hands. Just enjoy it or buy one more! ;)

The G is a well known flaw. Evey single one has that problem.

This pic of the gen also appears to have the same alignment of the 35 and 50. It's a bit hard to judge the 15 due to the angle.

They do look a bit odd to me but they are odd and accurate to gen.

Yep, that's the same watch that started it for me. We'll see where you're at in 2 months.

Just for reference, this is from the Tag Heuer site, and shows that gen has the same placement of 15 35, and 50
