I really like them , particularly the Vic Elford version.

While bearing a resemblance to the Montreals, I wouldn't think of it as a homage to Heuer.
It looks very well made,I like the different second hand in the bottom register to the other two. The thinner case looks like it would sit well on the wrist.

I love old watches, same as cars, but they come with the knowledge that they can be more prone to being a bit 'tempremental' and sometimes its nice to just (in the case of cars) jump in something new that you know is going to start and give you no hassle.

I think these watches fit the bill well, lovely styling but also you have the knowledge its new and should be fine-and a sensible price

: So what do we think of these, which do bear some resemblance to
: the Heuer Montreals?

: So are these in the "We wish TAG Heuer had done this"
: category? Thumbs up or thumbs down? Homage or knock-off?
