Tag Heuer Carrera, very beautiful but underated?

The crystal is very clear, its more clear than my AP and Rolex. Somehow it doesnt have the crystal. The movement itself is ETA, but I love ETA for their quality (doesnt broke easily).

It's a solid watch for sure. Not a lot of tag love here, aside from vintage and the occasional Monaco. I had a brown one a few years back. Great looking watch but I sold it. I always recommend tag in the 2-3k range. They probably cost more now..

Had a Carrera and loved it but gave it to one of my sons and he still has it - looks great and totally reliable and very robust.

Nice chrono

I like the look of the new T-H Basel 2015 releases - waiting to check them out when they appear at ADs.

I had mine for about 10 years, it never kept good time would gain about a minute a day as a manual wind, needed the entire movement replaced at a cost of around $1000 after 5 years, the new movement lost a minute a day as well. That said a great looking piece and got more compliments than any of my current watches.

Sold it a few years back. It was my first nice watch.
