Hi Guys,
Been wearing this since it arrived on Friday.
Before it arrived I expected it to be a lot smaller and lighter than it is and really this buy was another gamble that thankfully paid off.
I haven't opened it yet and I'm not expecting anything as beautiful or refined as a Cal 11 but the Lemania 5100 sounds like a true workhorse.
It feels as robust as the reputation that preceeds it.
The bracelet's got a TAG shield logo (doesn't say TAG) on the clasp but comes with a spare link with an 'Heuer' only label attached.
The papers that accompany the watch are dated 1986 so that ties in with the TAG/Heuer transition period.
The PVD has lasted well and even still has the signed crown.
Looks and feels absolutely bomb-proof.
A nice extra was the original box and instruction set :-)
I could be getting addicted to the orange and black combination now.
Maybe something to do with living in Amsterdam a few years back or my PVD Monaco but there's definitly something in it!
Also, amazingly the watch has gained only around 10 seconds since Friday - surely that's within COSC chronometer standards :-)
Unfortunately I can't make the meet-up in London in December but hope you all have a good time nonetheless!
Cheers,
AndyO...
