The faux croc strap
😲 Is it not a genuine killed exotic animal??? In this price range?

Didn't the US ban croc straps, or maybe just California

I’ve been thinking about this retro wave: if people keep this way, what would they create in 20 or 30 years? A RE-RETRO fashion?
This is a very good point. In 50 years, maybe enthusiasts will go crazy over re-editions of the Biver skeletonized Carreras 😁

Should have sold it on a nice and sporty colored shark skin strap then.

Maybe in 50 years watches will have shrunk back to lady like proportions and we can have 1:1 reissues..

Everything has a sell by date.... I reckon we're getting to the end of the sell by date for Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and Hendrix...

I'm already seeing the watch on sale for $10K on eBay. 🤦 🙁
Maybe this watch should be considered the "Dato 30?" 😁

I like it, though I'm looking forward to wearing it a bit to get a sense of how the white lume and black chapter ring works. I think the lume will work nicely with the monochromatic theme though.

As for reissues vs originals... well maybe if TAG could come up with a halfway decent original design, my opinions would be different

True and McQueen might not have a long time left. In order for a watch to become back in vogue it would have needed to be in vogue originally 😗

What a beautiful watch. Unfortunately it sold out to quick for me to get one.

That comparison shows up the date wheel placement, just that little gap the other side looks so much better to me...
Yes, IMO the original watch looks better 👍

Did they actually resist the fauxtina on this one!
Yup I noticed that too. Would have looked so much better with a nice and creamy lume. Especially, as someone pointed out, since the sub dial white does not match the other white elements.

Never for MM or Jimmy.
