In my mind, the previous effort, the Carrera Fragment was a hit with TH/Heuer enthusiasts,
because it was the closest thing to a 60s 2447nt Carrera. https://www.calibre11.com/vintage-heuer-carrera-2447nt/
And not because of Fujiwara's association or "design" elements. At least, outside of Japan where his fanbase could've made all the difference.
C cwsbbbA good change from other stuff which is just old watches reissued with the most minor of changes.
I doubt we'll ever see Jeff here to comment on his choice, but maybe it just reflects that "new watch" enthusiasm...would be interesting to know if he still felt the same way after the gloss had worn off.
Personally, I don't see it with this one. I don't like the flat black dial that doesn't give any delineation between the dial and the registers. I'm not sure it would make my top 20.

The watch does look really good in those photos!
I've got conflicting feelings on this watch. Sometimes it looks awesome, but other times it doesn't.
Ordered..
Deposit paid , on hold until I get to pick it up.
May be a while as it involves a plane ride, and passport and there ain’t a lot of that going on recently.
Will let you know how I go and provide some feedback on it , in the metal.
There doesn’t seem to be an enormous amount of love for this watch in the Forum , although I think most of the neg has been around the price as opposed to an actual dislike of the design.
It just resonated with me, and that’s all that matters to me.
Looking forward to your awesome photography skills bringing us a good perspective on how it actually looks 👍 fingers crossed all goes as planned with delivery!
Yup, that's all that matters, congrats buddy! This is OTD Jeff Stein's #1 all time favorite TAG Heuer, so you're in good company! 👍
