PHOTOS: Tag Heuer Carrera calibre 16 Poss AR issue

Recommended Posts

My question to you guys who know your Tags is how big is the SS bracelet on http://www.p-cls.com/tgca00111-carrera-43mm-chrono-ssss-a7750-p-5947.html I have an wrist measurement of just under 8", will the watch fit or need extra links ? My gen Omega Seamaster need extra links to fit but my Citizen Eco Drive fits fine straight out of the box.

Do all the clear back Carrera reps come with blue screws, I think it spoils the watch

Who is going to notice? You? Yes 7750 on a tag will have blue screws

I know your right, but for such a close rep which is made with a gen disassembled, surely they could just put silver screws in ?

Most of the screws are quite easy to replace. Wrong rotor stripes is worse IMO.

Finally got the watch but there seems to be a problem with AR

 

There is no blue tint at all and it's hard to look at the face from any angle due to bad reflection

I really don't think any AR coating has been applied, I have compared to to other watches I own - £400 citizen Eco drive to cheap £40 Rep Tag Grand Carrera and they are all clearer.

 

It's like you can't get a clear view at all it's cloudy ?

I see what you mean in the 1st pic but it seems much clearer in the 2nd pic.

 

Nice looking watch btw.

He has got back to me today and offered to send a replacement sapphire crystal and I get it fitted myself.

 

Or I return this, once he receives it, he will then send a replacement watch, been told it could take 2 months from sending this to receiving replacement!

 

I said just send replacement glass.

Hate to ask ,but did you take the plastic film off? If you look just below 80-90 in the Tachy ring you can see something.(a second curved line)
