TAG Heuer today posted some Easter shots showing off the Carrera 1887 43mm


There's a small change to the 9 o'clock sub-dial relative to the existing models below

 

think it will for most of the year...

 

It'll be nice to see some pictures the next time you're there.

 

Sunken register rather than flat

 

BTW, you made me have a look again and I think that the font used for the Gold numerals has changed- see how the "4" on the new model is flat across the top, whereas it comes to a point on the old model. The new font is "harder" than the old, if that makes sense

 

The recessed dial is a nice touch I don't really like undefined subdials all that much

 

I think the key thing is going to be the question of whether that's firm pricing or there's discounting still. In the past the local chain ADs here would give you a significant chunk off the top already on TAG Heuer, if that still happens and you can get the $4,800 down even lower then that's dramatic.

On the other hand if the new lower pricing of $4,800 also comes with the caveat of ending the discounting and enforcing a Rolex style firm (or at least mostly firm) MSRP price model, then its not a big change in the street price but it makes the whole buying experience more even and simple.

Given TH now have online sales through their website as well as boutiques, having a single fixed price rather than the ability to shave 10% on this model, 20-25% on that model, 30% or more on the other rmodel could make a lot of sense.
