Different buyers have different aesthetic preferences, and whether you / we like it or not, this Carrera captures one of the looks that is selling right now. Big case; skeleton dial; bright colors . . . It sells for Richard Mille and Hublot, and I believe that it will be popular for TAG Heuer, at the $5,000 price point. Maybe it's not for you, but I believe that it's the right direction for the brand.

Thanks for sharing your reaction!!

: I agree with the need for a bold watch - I confess I've been going
: in that direction lately too - but my money will go to an Omega
: Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, which is a much better
: executed variation on an all-time classic design IMO, and which
: on the secondary market doesn't cost very much more than this
: "brave new world" of TAG Heuer. I hate to be the
: nay-sayer here but I just can't get behind this one.

: I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only thing I like
: about this watch is the price. (Which, considering it's just a
: tarted-up 1887 Carrera, begins to look like less of a bargain.)
