It's slightly odd isn't it that this one has a DLC case, whereas the £21,800 AM Carrera tourbillon is PVD?

We would need more details to properly judge this. PVD is the process of coating stuff, on the F1 they coat with DLC but we dont know what the coating on the AM Carrera is.

From a marketing perspective things could be a lot more clear but Tag's website still leaves a lot to wish for. Looking at the dial section of the AM Carrera for example, only info it states is that the color is brown 🤦

The website is better in some ways than the old one, but worse in others. Is it so hard, really?

Well, it is brown, what there is of it anyway!

Looks quite good in that photo, but as ever that Indy logo looks out of place.
It always looks like a moustache.

Yesterday, I saw the Indy model at shop.
The dial of the watch was a little glossy.

I personally wanted the strap to be made of black leather with an asphalt motif like last year's Gulf model.

Photo with my Monaco Sixty-Nine.

Speaking of brickyard,

If were to get this watch, the strap is the first thing I'd change. I think a black calfskin rally strap with red stitching would go very nicely! 😀

While I do really like the asphalt strap of the F1 Gulf, I've been wearing mine with the Monaco Gulf's blue calfskin. I prefer the convenience of the clasp over the tang buckle, because F1 Gulf's OEM strap is rather thick and it's not that easy to get on and off quickly.

Exactly. TAG Heuer now say that things are "PVD", but I'm not sure I believe it. I suspect that its titanium carbide, applied via PVD
