Not overly changed. I'd say mostly improved, but the day/date is no longer the day/date. :(

 

Still a great watch none the less.

Nice, but it's not a Day/Date, just regular Carrera with bigger case, 43mm.

Agreed, it's no Day-Date anymore, but with the shift to the Calibre 1887 movement the old Calibre 16 with ETA 7750 internals will no longer be in production, I suspect.

 

I do prefer the new 1887 model (and won't miss the Day function). Looking closely at the photos, the TAG logo looks applied rather than printed. So.... with the new accurate logos of TAG reps such as the Link Chrono, this has the potential to be a true super rep!

 

Don't know about you but I'm excited!

What about the price, now when they house inhouse movement? And ceramic bezel... I don't think it will be ''that'' affordable as before.

I like the new bezel with ceramic. but having no "day" is less value. i like the old one, however if i have lots of money i will buy this one for collection =D

Interesting. The new version is indeed a 43mm rather than like the old 41mm date only. I like it, and hope it repped.

 

Like the Racing model.
