Dav555 0 Posted May 29, 2014 Hi all, I've been looking at several TAG Carrera's now and can't decide which to go and get so I thought I would come here and see what you all thought and maybe get some others to consider from a TD... These are what I have looked at so far:- Carrera Monaco Grad Prix Limited Edition http://www.tagheuer.co.uk/int-en/luxury-watches/carrera/carrera-calibre-16-day-dateautomatic-chronographmonaco-grand-prix43-mm-anthracite-sunray-effect-rubber-bracelet New Carrera Day/Date Ceramic - This was suggested by someone else in another posts - see image here (sorry its a non-TD link:- http://puretime-asia.com/product/carrera-calibre-1887-ss-11-best-edition-ceramic-bezel-gray-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a7750/ Tag Carrera - Standard one?? https://shop-uk.tagheuer.com/en/calibre-1887-automatic-chronograph-43-mm-car2a10-ba0799.html Another version of Carrera Monaco Grand Prix (not Limited Edition???) https://shop-uk.tagheuer.com/en/calibre-1887-automatic-chronograph-monaco-grand-prix-43-mm-car2a83-ft6033.html Have you had any experiences with good or bad reps of these models? Are there any other Carrera's similar to these worth considering? Are you able to provide any links to a TD website? Thanks Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FuzzyCoyote 2 Posted May 29, 2014 Hey, Not had any experience myself with this model, however my personal preference is the Monaco GP Ltd Edition. In regards to the TD websites, nothing like taking the time and having a good look around. Good luck. G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dav555 0 Posted May 30, 2014 Which is the most common / classic Tag Carrera Calibre? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfq23 131 Posted May 30, 2014 I have the 41mm date only carrera racing. To me this was the archetypal tag carrera and a much better rep than the day dates plus cheaper. It's currently with mickey being made even better with silver screws and eta date wheel so after that will be as close as possible to the gen without getting all franken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dav555 0 Posted May 30, 2014 http://bit.ly/1kQw30s Thanks for this but it wasn't a great help as I had already tried putting '41mm date only carrera racing' into google. It brings many many different watches so I can't determine which dfp23 is referring to... Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dav555 0 Posted May 30, 2014 Is anyone willing to share and views or opinons on this watch that I am considering? http://www.tswatchltd.com/14747-14747.html Do you know if you can get an A7750 version? Do all the dials works on the Quartz version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dav555 0 Posted May 30, 2014 Are the TAG Calibre ones that show the Day and Date the old range? and the ones that just show the date the new range:- Day / Date http://www.p-cls.com/tgca00111-carrera-43mm-chrono-ssss-a7750-p-5947.html Date http://www.p-cls.com/0tg1887203-carrera-1887-date-chrono-ssss-grey-a7750-p-15714.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainFantastic 509 Posted May 31, 2014 Calibre 16 Day Date in my opinion. One of the best made and nicest reps I've ever owned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted May 31, 2014 The older 43 mm. Day/Dates are great. The smaller 41mm. date is pretty nice and quite cheap- about $240. ( I actually have a black rep and a gen brown, but I'm in the advanced stage of this collecting disease) I've never seen the new ceramic version, but they look quite good. Many good Tag reps including Aquaracer & Link series. I'm not a fan of the square one like the Monaco- but to each his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dav555 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Guys, I've been looking at this watch largely because its my 1st purchase of a rep and didn't want to go straight into a $330 watch as 1st purchase - maybe I will when I get the bug. http://www.tswatchltd.com/14747-14747.html Are any of you able to advise or inform me of anything that I should be aware of with a purchase of this value? Alternatively, I was looking at this one at $328:- http://v.yupoo.com/photos/mrwatch/albums/6025198/ What's your opinion? Should I go for the more expensive or cheaper rep? What is bad about the cheaper version? Please before you say just keep reading, I have been reading lots over the last 10 days but do find myself going round in circles so I thought I would put the 2 out on the table that I am considering and ask your advice... Thanks in advance.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainFantastic 509 Posted June 2, 2014 Cheaper one will have sub dials closer together due to it's quartz movement. The 328 one will be the best option for you. I had one of those and it was amazing, and MR is a fantastic dealer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had one of those and it was amazing, and MR is a fantastic dealer. Thanks for the feedback. Is the $328 one still a current tag model that is available as a gen purchase as I thought the day date ones were older than the date ones, however I do really like the look of this one. Ok so I may go for the more expensive one but before I do are there any other links to this genuine actual model that I could take a closer look at to make me 100% sure I like it. I would search myself but I am unsure what the official model is called? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainFantastic 509 Posted June 3, 2014 I'm pretty sure you can still buy them, but I honestly haven't looked. Even if the model in question isn't available, there's newer versions of the same watch. The Monaco Grand Prix version for example is almost exactly the same with minor design differences. I believe the model number is CV2A10. But if you ask an AD about a Carrera Calibre 16 Day/Date they'll know exactly what you mean. My main problem was this watch was too bulky for my small wrist, if you're ok to wear a 45mm watch you'll be head over heals for this thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
