hey guys! i'm new to the forums and also to watches (never really owned a luxury watch before, but i do look at pics and read up on stuff), and i'm considering getting a Tag Heuer 1964 Re edition with silver dial (CS3110) as a step into luxa ry watches! i'm not sure if this belongs to this category and i'll move it if neccessary So what do you guys think of this watch? your comments are all appreciated! thanks a bunch everyone
Classic size and looks. Faithful to the original. Great manual-wind movement - the same as you'd find in an Omega Speedmaster. I think it's very reasonably priced for what you get. Hopefully should retain its value too. I love it, but then I'm biased. There's a good article on the main calibre11.com site about this watch if you need more info. Here's mine...
I love these- and I'm wearing it today...great watch. Here is what I wrote about them a while back: http://www.calibre11.com/heuer-carrera-1964-re-edition/ @imagwai that's a lovely photo

One of the particularly nice features of these is how low they tend to sit being manual wind with the Lemania 1873 base calibre, unlike many chronographs that can be too thick and top heavy. Its a great movement too, as mentioned Omega have used it for almost 50 years in the NASA issue Moonwatch and they're one of the most bulletproof movements on the market (as NASA themselves found out in testing).
