Not 1:1 though, but we'll get there

Main flaws are the bezel and being 41mm. I dont understand this, they make the effort of a perfect dial and screw it in the stupidest way... When we get a 43 mm one I'll buy it.

Is it just me or does it look like they used the iwc3714 dial for this? The numerals look nearly identical.

I disagree, the dial is obviously inspired by the Portu, but the numerals are not clones. Check side by side pics.

I am still tempted by this watch, but I keep thinking that the charm of the watch is the simplicity and the smaller dial makes it look busy.

QC looks pretty poor, can see several issues.

Yeah, looks way too similar to IWC port. I think it really cheapens Tag's brand to venture so close to a competitor.

I bought a Gen Monaco GP few months ago.

 

Didn't think they would rep it but some quick tells.

 

Bezel is pretty poorly printed and Tag logo on dial on the Gen is hand applied not printed.

 

But I guess with all reps, can't expect 100%. Not bad overall tho.

Oh I and still can't believe they haven't fixed the G... even tho some older Day/Dates have fixed it.

the bezel does actually look cheap, I hadn't noticed. About the logo, it is applied in the rep too, but the quality of the applied logos in gen tags is impossible to copy, check this for example http://www.calibre11.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/carrera-43mm12.jpg

 

Anyway, rep or gen, this monaco gp is the best looking tag I've ever seen.

Yeah my mistake, saw it on PT who had better pics. Rep is applied too.

 

Even tho I have a gen and tend to be bias... I have to say the new range of carreras with the 1887 from basel world 2013 are the best looking IMO.

well ts and puretime are selling it claiming 44mm, but it looks the same as toro's. I hope someone buys it and we find out if the case is really 1:1. Still, the badge looks mediocre.

 

Another fail is the laser etching of a different model in the back case (2A10 is the daydate)

Saw a gen of this recently and wow what a beauty, the logo is the biggest tell with the rep, a real shame. Too big an issue for me to consider.
