Les Artisans De Genève La Montoya Rolex Daytona Replica Watch

Image
As a chronograph, the Rolex Daytona has few equals. It is made to an extremely high standard with sturdy 904L Oystersteel, a Cerachrom bezel that is super wear-resistant and never fades, and of course that highly reliable caliber 4130 movement within. But you know what’s the problem with it? Its own success has made it all too familiar. It might have a long waiting list at the boutiques, but you can always spot a couple in big cities and major airports. How can one satisfy his desire for the Daytona but still have something that is distinctive? It’s not your only such option, but I suggest taking a look at the new Les Artisans De Genève La Montoya Rolex Daytona, a highly customized Rolex Daytona made especially for racer extraordinaire Juan Pablo Montoya. Montoya, who has enjoyed success in Formula 1, NASCAR, and IndyCar, is a big fan of the Rolex Daytona, as it turns out. You would be too if you had managed to win a couple through racing. Montoya won the Rolex 24 three times and wa...

TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph 100th Anniversary Special Edition Replica Watch

Image
Almost 90 years later, the modern version of the legendary Mikrograph was resurrected by TAG Heuer, based on the same idea of using a 360,000 vph chronograph mechanism, but this time combined with the ability to indicate the time as well. This represented the first of the 1/100th of second chronographs to use the dual balance movement design which separates the timekeeping regulation (28,8000 vph – 4Hz), power, and transmission – from the chronograph regulation (360,000 vph – 50Hz), mainspring, and transmission. And in 2005, when the Carrera Calibre 360 Concept was launched, it became the first automatic chronograph wristwatch capable of 1/100th of a second precision.   Six years later, in 2011, a new Mikrograph, based on the same dual balance principle, but using a newer in-house developed, integrated 1/100th of a second chronograph, was introduced in rose gold as the TAG Heuer Carrera Mikrograph 100th Anniversary Special Edition replica watch , at a price of $50,000.

TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 41mm Blue Replica Watch Review

Image
Go shopping for a TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph watch and you’ll find a heaping load of options available to select from — though judging by TAG Heuer’s own website, it is slimming down the selection quite a bit. Today, I review what is an entry-level Carrera Chronograph that TAG Heuer calls the Carrera Calibre 16. I take a look at it in its reference CBM2112.BA0651 form with a modern blue dial and matching blue ceramic bezel. The same watch is also available in black tones as the reference CBM2110.BA0651. This particular Carrera Calibre 16 is the sister model of the similar TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 CV201AR.BA0715 which costs $50 more (though I am not sure why). Both have the same 41mm-wide steel case, the same Calibre 16 automatic chronograph movement, the same ceramic bezel, and the same bracelet. What makes them different is that the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 CV201AR.BA0715 has a more “vintage style” dial, whereas this CBM2112.BA0651 is decidedly more modern in its style...
