Stewart, there is nothing at all wrong with this watch. I wear one a lot, and keep my 1133b in the safe. Like you, I have always felt a bit nervous wearing my original out and about and the 40th anniversary watch is as close as we'll get to a faithful modern alternative.

I've always felt that this watch, along with the recent Silverstone re-editions are Tag H at its very best - good, high quality modern watches but still sensitive to the desires of us vintage nerds. I know some complain about the shape of the pushers, but if it was exactly the same as a vintage watch, I wouldn't really see the point.

Wear with pride!
