I bought a carrera a little over a year ago. Love the watch however I seem to be a rare case. It is currently in for its second warranty repair for the same issue. It's gaining roughly 4 hours per day. I've told the jewelry shop I bought it from that I really don't want that exact watch back. I can't find anyone else with the same issue and they have never heard of it being anything more than a minute a day (usually 15 seconds max). They are on my side with trying to have ot replaced, just have to see what Tag says. Once for this issue ok but a second time for a fine watch that is the 4th biggest purchase I've made in my life is not ok.

I've also had some issues with the pin backing out of the band...
I have had same issue with mine. 2hr gains daily. I stopped wearing it and is now rotting in my dresser somewhere.
In order to keep my other watches in a little better condition with less wrist time I thought I'd buy a less expensive fun summer watch. I've always loved the Gulf Monza but it's big and defeats the purpose of a cheaper summer watch.

This one fit the bill for me

After checking with my regular AD who didn't have one, I went to a nearby mall to see if any mid level jewelry stores or Macy's had one. I walked into Littman's of all places and there was one in the back of the case. They just got it that day and put it out an hour earlier. And it turns out that they discount Tag Heuer

I thought I was going to either hunt high and low or wait for it. I felt really lucky that day.

Good luck finding one, they're out there!

We have similar taste!

Here is mine.

Does the new Calibre 11 have the clear back still?
Only a 3yr delay in replying!! A record maybe.

But in answer to your question buddy, yes it does have the clear back.

Apologies but just returned now we have a BMW back in the family.
It is time to give this thread a bump, here are my 3 babies.

The Monaco is the second re-edition, model CS2111 that was released in 1999. It was produced in a limited edition of 5,000 units and had a sculpted black dial with three counters.

Cool thread....I’ll add mine...not the fanciest but it has been a steady, reliable classic (could use a good cleaning)...

This Tag was presented to me by King Hussein of Jordan. You can see the Royal Jordanian Crown printed on the face. Obviously I have not preserved it. I frequently wore it throughout the years, it is well worn but has been quite the conversation Attached image

I've been wanting this limited edition Monza watch since it was released in 2016 and she went to the TAG Heuer outlet store at Sawgrass Mills yesterday and got a great deal on it.
