Still honey mooning hard with this one. Special photo for @Albert-AMG 😝

That strap works really well with it - turned out better than I thought it would, well done!

Yup Charlie is right, thats the one! I agree it matches perfectly with the watch.

Bummer though was that the spring bar on the pin buckle was broken on arrival.... the leather feels great though, shocked how good it looks and feels for the price 👍

Another shock was that it took two days for delivery from UK to Sweden 😲 who knew an airplane could go so fast, last time I ordered something it took 14 days

Thanks man! Quick release spring bars, I have never had that before. Soooo simple and good, now I cant wait to get myself a variety of colors 😎

Looks awesome! I've bought straps from Geckota too, good stuff. The dark cocoa color works well with this watch, it plays off with the lume and gives it more warmth. 👍

The only thing I don't like about the quick release is that they can sometimes rub against the case. I've had this happen on my Monaco, but it's less likely on circular watches.

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 🥰

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 😎


Sorry I'm a bit late to this party! Congrats @Jim Dollares - what a beautiful watch! Now I'm curious as to the full story of the hoops you had to jump through to acquire this timepiece...

Glorious piece. Love it.
You should join us in the Church of Silver Dials. You are guaranteed eternal life and happiness in heaven (Switzerland with free watches for everyone) once you get yourself a proper silver dialed watch. According to the Silver Dial Church's guide to a peaceful soul there are two rules man kind must always follow

- You shall always admire the almighty silver dial
- You shall never insult a silver dialed watch
