warcelo 0 Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) Hello folks! As some of you may know, i'm waiting for more than a month for my SMP Chrono from Mary, it was my first rep from outside Brazil and it is stuck in customs.... But today the Omega BOX that i also ordered from Mary ( she sent the watch and the box separately, the box was sent a week before the watch ) arrived and i wanted a watch to put inside it, so i went to a Rep store and bought this beautiful TagHeuer Carrera! It's the Quartz version with sapphire glass with double AR coating. I paid 150US dollars for it here in my city. ( We have some illegal Rep stores here and they only sell crap watches but i was VERY luck to find this Tag! ) It was my first attempt at taking pictures of a Watch, i hope you like it! It's a very nice rep for the price, and very reliable cuz it's a Quartz version. It does have obvious flaws like smaller sub dials and seconds at wrong position ( it's at 6 but should be at 9 ). But i think this one have the 7750's case and the bracelet is gorgeous! The sapphire with double AR is also amazing! Lume at hands are very nice but the dial lume fade in 10 seconds I'm very happy with it but i can't wait anymore for my SMP chrono! Cheers!

warcelo 0 Posted November 11, 2010 Thanks Luth! I really don't care about this flaws cuz it's a quartz one. If you miss Brazil you should come down here for the summer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted November 11, 2010 Don't feel bad- I have the gen and the lume isn't so great. Nice watch, good pix too. Congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WebWind 1 Posted November 11, 2010 Lume reminds me my PAM 111 from Mary. Lume on hands is acceptable, but lume of the sandwich dial is very near to no lume. Nice watch BTW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warcelo 0 Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) But the pan 111 is very ultra easy to relume the dial! This one is almost impossible ( very small dots ). I have one question, do the gen have double ar? I've seen too many 7750's with out any ar and my cheap quartz does have.... I wonder why... Edited November 11, 2010 by warcelo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carlton 0 Posted November 11, 2010 Nice piece. Wish I had a shop down the road I could wander to. On second thoughts, maybe not. My wallet couldn't take it ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
