You've got a great colour differentiation there. Doesn't make sense to have a navy strap on this watch

The strap for the Las Vegas looks like the Gulf 211R strap (FC6401). The box seems like the wooden Atavia box, except theres a TAG Heuer plaque instead the "AUTAVIA" inscription under the insert

Oh wow. I bet there's an Autavia logo under that TAG Heuer badge, otherwise why put it there?

Did I hallucinate that this and the China were titanium? Clearly they are not (by part no)

If so, that would be poor form and quite disappointing.

Too many drugs man (lol), the China one is stainless steel. At first, I thought the Vegas one might be Titanium due to its $9500 price tag, but it's stainless steel as well, or so I've been told.

Thanks Hubert, don't suppose you know if the same strap ref as the China do you?
No, the strap is different. The China edition has the larger middle perforations.

Looks like the strap's center holes are larger on the China LE?
Correct

Thanks @Hubert. I believe that's the wooden box it comes in, right? Does the plaque say anything more than TAG Heuer? Anything on the box or watch with Las Vegas on it?
Yes, the wooden box is like the one that came with the old Autavias. I only took two pictures, while I was there. So I don't remember if there was anything else written on the box, besides the TAG Heuer plaque.

Correct; steel with high price for the LE and the collector's box.

I can't be the only one that now really wants to peel the Tag Heuer metal badge and find out? 😀

LOL; I bet you are right, but I wouldn't let anyone tamper with it, if it was mine.

Yeah, that precious box is at least a grand's worth of the price premium. 🙄 🤦 🤨

You don't need to peel off the plaque, all you need to do is flip over the grey insert (where the pillow is kept). At the back is a slot for a bracelet on the bottom. Much like the pic here

I know because I got tempted with that special box withbthe bracelet slot, just to find the Autavia sign at the back ::facepalm1::

BTW, bought it off eBay for £75 😜

So which strap did you order for your CC? Vegas or China?

Just imagine after spending $10K+ (after tax) on this LE, the glue weakens on that plaque 5 years later, it falls off and you see AUTAVIA underneath! 😲

Let's look at some of the recent (re-)releases
CAW211J re-release for £6150
Remaining CR2080 Monza being sold for £4950
CAW211AC China LE for RMB 64,500 ($9000)
Monaco boutique LE for €11,000 ($12,000)
... All jacked up prices

Now the CAW211AD LV LE at $9500. Does not surprise me at all

^ Still waiting for that "dislike" button when we need it. TAG Heuer's prices in 2023 - yikes. 🤨 🫨
