Dont worry I will share plenty of photos, good thing you are not tired of this watch already 馃槈

Indeed! 馃榿

Thanks Michael, I know Rob doesnt like that I've joined the dark side but Im loving this Heuer thing. Less is more 馃憤

What are you like 30? Way too young for this watch... I'm 51 and I'm waaaay too young for this one.馃槑

A nice racing calf skin is a must have accessory for the Silver. But it's one of those watches that will look great on just about anything.

Yes it's dressy, but the grain of your strap has so much character to my eyes. I find myself actually looking at the strap more than the dial in your pics. LOL
Ok yes I see it now, there is a lot more character to my strap than most others. Interesting catch!

Voted Watch Of The Year 2020 by the honorable Council Of Considered Opinion (COCO) and now finally on my wrist in time to celebrate New Year's! It has been an emotional rollercoaster and buying this watch has given me gray hair. It has now been 6 or 7 weeks, one stolen watch, a bomb in the post central, grey market dealers telling lies, lousy customer service, shipping insurance expiring and many other crazy happenings since I decided to buy this one. More on this crazy story will eventually come on the best blog in the world http://tagheuerenthusiast.blogspot.com/

A big thanks to my friend Robert @Aquagraph for buying this one and shipping it safely from UK to Sweden. This is the second watch you help me buy and my collection would not be what it is without you!

Big thanks also to all of you on this wonderful forum. Despite a lot of shit in the world I feel that this forum has been better than ever and my love for TAG Heuer and Heuer just keeps on growing.

About the cbk221b I can't tell you enough about how gorgeous and perfect it is. I think this might be not only watch of the year but watch of the decade. I had not seen it in person before and boy oh boy the photos don't do it justice at all. It is the most stunning thing I have ever seen. The dial, the size, the polishing, the proportions 馃グ

I will get around to writing a full review in maybe 6 months, until then you can count on some photos of this silver dial 馃槑

@Jim Dollares I called it! What do I win? Congratulations!

Now I just need to hunt for a racing strap, the alligator feels a bit too dressy for it

I agree, really should have come on a racing strap. Mine is from Veblenist, and I really enjoy it, but if you're more interested in off-the-rack I can make some recommendations as well 馃榾

Have you considered green sharkskin as a way to liven it up a bit?

Not sure about green but yes sharkskin is very tempting. What other colors are available from TAG and would it fit 19mm lug width?
