I used to have a metallic white guitar, it was basically white, but when the light hit it it definitely had a pink tinge to it

I wonder if it would look less silvery if it didn't have blue on it? It looks white here, except the subdials... but I'm sure the blue is bringing out the silvery grey part of the white.
Side by side comparison with my Seamaster Commander Watch.

It was more a comment about the date being off center although the hands are past 12 significantly.
This has happened to my H02 watch. On occasion the date will not fully snap into place during the date change, I have to manually center it with the crown. Doesn't happen often, but it shouldn't happen at all on such an expensive watch. I've seen the date off centered on several other H02 watch pics as well, so it does seem to be symptomatic of the H02's date wheel mechanism - sadly. Never had a single hiccup on my Selitta/DD based Monacos though (knock on wood).

I had not fully winded the watch when I took that picture, so it was likely my fault that the date register was not properly centered.

These are quick shots my friend at work sent me. It is his first Tag Heuer and he states he loves it. He has Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Longines, Hamilton and Seiko in his collection and is very impressed with the watch. All photos are his sent to me today upon its arrival. The box is pretty impressive. They also threw in a dark blue hat.👍

Nice! Interesting that his was mounted with the bracelet instead of the NATO.

OTOH, seeing Jaden Smith wear one kind of turns me off. He must've been invited by Frederic. 🤦

The Heuer 02 is a TAG Heuer movement and we all know that soon-to-be TH releases will also have this movement. We all do know that this is a “thick” (by some standard) movement, after recurring discussions among different topics & threads. So to expect something different (thinner?) on a newly release H02 watch is just tiresome already. 🙄

I’m not assessing it as thick against other H02s, but thick against ‘size of watch I want on my wrist’. If this means I never buy a H02, I’m ok with that. I will probably try on an elegant to see how it feels before hunting down the blue carrera.

Well I'm sorry but that subdial definitely looks silver. The dial looks white, right enough.....

Not usual for me, but I think I might prefer this one on the nato.

Surely attractive limited editions models should sell themselves and not need ‘famous’? ambassadors?

Times have been changing very fast. He may have reach and clout to his younger generation (that is able to afford a modern TAG Heuer) We might be out of touch with TAG Heuer’s intended target market for this one but it’s all about marketing where we know TAG Heuer shines.

TAG Heuer at the same time is banking on the Porsche owner clientele. A very passionate group (and also a group who can buy TH). If you own a Porsche, the next machine in your wrist “should” be TAG Heuer 😗 Not necessarily owners of 911s/718s. Look at the number of Taycans, Macans, Cayennes Porsche sell. That is a great target market. I just hope they maintain the Porsche Carrera font in their succeeding Carrera collaboration 👍

@kappa_md I agree with you on the Carrera font, I think it’s one of those cool little details on this watch and hope they apply it to other Carrera collaborations
