Derek Mc 1 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) OK,,,, where to begin I had placed an order for a can1010.ba0821 Grande Date black i.e.this one http://www.tagheuer....-steel-bracelet Imagine my shock when I unpacked my precious haul and got this one. OK, so picking my jaw back up off the floor, I have immediately gone into research mode, and I think in fairness it's not bad for a $99 replica. It has a very smooth sweep automatic movement, the chronograph works the date curiously goes to 39, as it is a dual disc counter I suspect? but hey I could use an extra eight days in the month,,, I just don't know if I love it as much as I was preparing to love the can1010??? My first purchase from this buyer, sadly I never knew of this website until I had already ordered otherwise I would have bought a couple off the for sale section right away, Darn & blast!!! but hey Build is excellent it is very heavy the bracelet very nice quality with a solid feeling clasp but, in a mill-formed finish not Tag quality at all. The outside of the clasp has a decent engraved name and such like, the links are very well formed and very nicely polished and brushed. The bezel has a quality feel and after removing 4 full links the fit is, to me perfection!! Would anyone care to comment on my choice and my delivered watch? does it look OK to others? I will most certainly wear this one a lot for work as in the construction industry I like a good loking watch that if the worst happens, I can forgive myself for damaging. Many thanks I look forward to comments Edited March 11, 2014 by Derek Mc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Mc 1 Posted March 11, 2014 Overall I think this is a keeper for me as this pic is straight off the web and to the normal person's view rather than a trained eye, a really rather good rendition and nice looking watch in my humble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfq23 131 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Which seller did you order from mate as a rep of first one is about $270 from a td, has same movement as the real thing and is a super rep, and one you got is about right price wise from Aliexpress for what it is Edited March 15, 2014 by dfq23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Mc 1 Posted March 15, 2014 Hi, I bought this one before I discovered this site, and used a supplier called Demowatch (website Demowatch.net) I have worn it for four days and find it a great watch, good quality bracelet and case, keeping great time I set it against my Ebel and Rotary, and it is bang on so, by rule of thumb, more than happy. I terms of the caf101a model swap, it has really grown on me and from showing a few friends, with everyone favouring the style. I have now naturally the choice of TD recommendations from here and so, will shop on the inside for future purchases, but, have to say, I had not a single issue here!

mmaibl2011 0 Posted March 31, 2014 The designs i have seen on the tag brand watches are some of the most interesting i have seen. Great mix between functionality and art. Beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daywatch 4 Posted March 31, 2014 If it works, it´s what matters and the overall design on that one is fine also. Wear it well The TAG Grande Date from Sead/Supermirrors is indeed a superrep with all functions 1/10th sweeping seconds up to 12 hours stop time and movement - Swiss Ronda Quartz - as gen. Pushers/ buttons/ finish are high quality, expensive for quartz but it couldn´t come any better or closer to gen: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daywatch 4 Posted April 5, 2014 Hi Derek, this was from Supermirrors (Sead). Ships via UK, sometimes e-mail response is not too fast but really looks for good watches, qc-pictures only if requested, no need normally. This is a high quality rep. not comparable to most others, solid, tough construction, good threads, smooth crown etc. available in black or white. If You like it, get it, it´s better than good.
