I understand you point
: and while I don't feel my tastes are
: necessarily in sync with yours I agree with
: you on many of your points.

probably true. i've always been in my own world as far as tastes go. i was aware of the panerai influence, but i just missed the points you clarified for me down below.

: Let me explain...

thanks, i gotcha now.

: This R*X*W is essentially a follow on to their
: previous MM20... A watch that I own an
: example of: When you consider the
: previous R*X*W model (above), you understand
: this model's heritage.

: Certainly the case shape, the hands, the Tachy
: Bezel, pushers, numerals are vastly
: divergent from a 1960's Camero. Because they
: were shooting for a Panerai-like model.

: My point in
: posting this was to show something that is
: that in the R*X*W we have a watch that is
: not terrible divergent from the Camaro in
: terms of size, shape and looks. Yes, lots of
: detail differences (like how the new/current
: Carrera 7750 is different from the Vintage
: Pasadena), but consider this... We know that
: a quality built cushion/rounded Square case
: can be manufactured, a Valjoux 7750
: Tri-Compax layout movement placed within,
: and be sold for under $1000 before shipping
: and be profitable. Just as my
: traditional RX for TAG-Heuer has been to
: revive the Pasadena SS/Black Dial, put it on
: a Oyster-styled fliplock bracelet in the
: "Out the door" price range of
: "$999-1299", I could see TAG-Heuer
: producing a "Classic Camaro" with
: a case/dial/bezel similar to the vintage
: Camaro, using a Tri-Compax 7750 and selling
: it in the $1000~1799 "Out the
: door" price range.

gotcha.

: Could you?
sure.

: What this illustrates to me that this scenario
: is feasible. Not only that, it's also likely
: that it's feasable to offer a Carrera based
: on the Tri-Compax 7750 (perhaps in rotor
: automatic and non-rotor manual wind
: versions) instead of the ETA/DD movement for
: the same amount of money. Personally, I'd
: rather have a 7750 movement than a
: piggy-back chronograph movement. But that's
: just my tastes.

i agree

Thanks for reading and respondin'!=)
thanks for the followup.
