A few pages while skimming the book, already saw a typographical error 🤦

The bezel spinner knob is also incorrectly depicted, it never stuck out with a steel stem like that

I do Agree sir Adam 👍

Nonetheless, all my TAG Heuer Carreras (including right color) are all depicted in this book including a new incoming 😉 that’s why I’m super happy to see all of them here 😀

Congratulations TH and sir Nicholas! This book is a testament of true labor of passion & love! (And possibly only second to sir Rob’s @Aquagraph 😉)

Just nitpicking but do you know what’s wrong with this? 😗

Don’t remember the reference number, but given that the 80 isn’t red and the subdials appear black, it probably is a picture of one of the last variants (silver dial with black subdials not anthracite).

If that's the case, I wonder what picture is shown for that variant? The same one or the real JH80?

Also, it would've been nice if the book included the number of pieces for each LE.

Had a chance to look for the reference number. The one pictured may be CV211E.

The book has rendered interpretations that will have variance, as they are not 1:1 schematics.

CV2119 is the correct code for the JH80. As @Jemagloh said, the one that came later is CV211E.

Perfect for future collectors looking to confirm the details of a specific reference

Yes I noticed this since the sizing of the Carreras are for sure, different in comparison to the others. It still is a great compilation 👍

I’m not sure why TH intended this to have variance if this is “The Ultimate Guide” as said so in the book.

Agree sir! Here is an old pic from @Calibre11 . Stored in my iPhone 😉

Because 'TAG Heuer' never knowingly do anything 100% properly.

We have bjoernaltmann to thank for the illustrations in the book. He apparently was a given a box set for his contribution. Which includes the cool Glassbox Clock. 😎

My copy arrived 5 days ago. But I haven't opened it. I want to find out whether the box set can be purchased via Boutiques first.

Plus I already know one of my Carreras isn't in the book. 📖😟

Ugh, because I pre-ordered it months ago, the book has gone to my old house. Will have to see if I can pick it up later. :whipped:
