Re: If you want a black-cased TAG Heuer in 2013...

Hello,

I'm not going to respond to the PVD Monaco but to the Carreras with the 1887 and Cal. 17 movement. Am I the only person thinking that the movements don't fit these large cases??? My personal opinion is, that the subregisters are to close to the center of the watch and leave to much space between its edges and the edge of the dial. Maybe it's just habit to see the subregisters close to the edge of the dial from all Vintage Heuers. But the big case newer Carreras are not yet my cup of tea.

Any different or approving views on that?

Kind regards,
Maneul
