Very nice looking watch, Jim. Not a great fan of TAGs, and particularly don't like the styling of most, but that is a real exception.

Not a great Tag fan but that one is quite nice, a simple classic design like the bracelet.

Tag Heuer has upgraded their line and they are making a few nice mechanicals. I am posting this short advertisement letting you know that I am an authorized Tag Heuer dealer with references from Rev, etc.
Thanks for your time.

By the way, who knows what TAG stands for?

Of course, Padi is correct.

Jim, the Carrera line is the best they have to offer these days. Nice score!

After 4 days the Carrera is at +5 sec/day and I'm loving it. This is one BAW (Bad Ass Watch).

I soooooo glad a made the choice to get this one its becoming a favorite.

Like some others here, I too am not a huge Tag fan, but with that said, I like that watch. Very clean.

Good choice. Does anyone know how Tags hold up with time?

Good question. I've owned Tags for years of course all have been the Kirium series, but each and every one I've had has never had a flaw or any sort of problem. Tags CS is top notch and the quality control is superb, like I said I've never had a bad one and they've all performed flawlessly, so if your asking me, I'd say you can buy with no worries. I currently own three of the Kirium series and my newest Carrera and love all of them.
