Photos: three TAGs from Silix

Recommended Posts

elmerlo

Hi guys,

just received my second order from Silix: a Tag Heuer Link chrono black dial Cal.16 and a Link Lady, quartz. They add up to the first order, a Carrera “cosmetic” Chrono.

The quality, especially for the Chrono Link, is superb, I’m not an expert, but the differences from the original are very, very subtle.

I won’t make a detailed review, Scavenger’s one is top-notch and I think the watch is the same, after all: http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=36534

I will post some photos though, taken without flash (and a cheapy camera), in which you can also see my first TAG, a genuine quartz S/el twenty years old! :)

The dimensions/weight gain over the years is impressive: the S/el wheighs 123 grams, while the Link is at 194...

Thank you guys again for this forum and for the trusted dealers list. Special thanks to Michelle: it's great to deal with her!

And, by the way, clever packing... ;)

Here’s the Carrera and Link, side by side:

I went today to a watch shop to resize the bracelet, and the guy talked to me extensively about the patented mechanism TAG has for their Links'bracelets...so I guess it's pretty close to the original one, otherwise... ;)

This is a shot of what was left of the resizing, hope it helps.

Nice pics! Glad you're enjoying the watch and it looks like you got one with a nice, tight clasp. :thumbsup:

 

Good pickup on the Link Lady too, got me tempted to get one for the missus.

 

Now, how about some wristie shots?

Those ladies Link reps are some of the best, one of the few ladies super-reps IMO.

 

I love that link chrono, very nice!

Made one more (hopefully last...) TAG order today at Silix, cheapy stuff: Grand Carrera cal.36 "cosmetic" chrono and Carrera black dial (the one from the movie "Next"). Both were not on the site, but Michelle managed to get them.
