The CS3111 is what started me into the world of TH, and was followed by a CS3112 and the CAR221A (Cal.18 Telemeter). All about the same size.
Yes, the first re-editions are small................but not too small. All my watches are 40mm or smaller. I do understand the drive for larger cases but it's not something I've ever accepted myself.
Another consideration is that, by today's standards, the first gen re-editions are 'midsize' and effectively unisex. These classically styled models look great on women and, when they are 21, my daughter will be given my CS3112 and my son the 3111 (unless I flip it for 3113 so they both get Daytona rings!). Neither will be a 'Patek Phillippe heirloom' (if you buy that hype) but both will still be a beautifully crafted and reliable piece of classic horology.
For me, the later TAG branded re-edition models will never be on my wishlist but I do absolutely agree that they are a bargain on the secondhand market right now.

 

They're nice watches and I agree about the size aspect. The date also makes them a bit more "mainstream". However, I don't believe they'll ever attain the desirability of the original reissue. But they make a good and more easily accessible alternative, vintage style piece, at a great price.

One thing possibly to be aware of. I've heard that the sapphire crystal on the later re-editions is eye-wateringly expensive to replace if it shatters.

 

I sure hope I didn't just get myself a gateway drug into the world of vintage Heuers... or maybe I really want to!

By the way, if you're also looking to get that CS3113 -- Michael Uphoff (http://www.chrono24.com/en/tagheuer...on-lemania-handaufzugs-kaliber--id4672358.htm) has one available and he's just great to work with, even though I didn't get mine from him in the end... I think he has one that is in the most 'complete' condition on the market right now.

And there's this CV2113 on the Bay too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131954296117?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

Cheers!

 

It's a slippery slope! I'd not considered the re-editions as 'vintage' but I suppose they are 20yrs old themselves now. And I guess that is the appeal, echoes of the true Heuer originals but without the concern of the potential fragility of a 60yr old example.
I'm in no rush on the CS3113. Both my re-editions were found at the lower end of the market (and my kids are currently 7 and 4, so I've plenty of time!)

 

This is my "new old" three-hand Carrera. I bought IT when the local AD gave up, not only to offer IT a new home. Less weight,
but not less watch.

 

Some people on this forum once gave me an advice and I ended up with the first reissue, a black cs3111.

I am lurking over a white CV2110 NOS at the local AD, but still waiting until they really crack and discount it properly.

This forum will mess up your mind, I am telling you.

 

Joined a while ago for information, but thought it was time to show my Heuer re-editions.

Hi All

I have decided I really want a red-edition, specifically the models mentioned https://www.calibre11.com/heuer-carrera-1964-re-edition/.

The re-edition page outlines the main three CS models and I see the differences between them and the CV ones (logo).

A lot of adverts with the CV models call them re-editions...What is the different between the CV models and CS?

 

CS have plexi crystal. CV has sapphire.
CS manual wind. CV automatic.
CS 36mm. CV 39mm
CS Heuer branded. CV Tag Heuer branded.

Those are the main differences. There are others.

 

Amazing, thank you.
