A Tag Carrera CV2010.BA0794 and CV201E.BA0794, apart from the thicker silver bezels on the inner chrono?
I assume they have the same mechanism (Caliber 16) and the CV2010.BA0794 is just a newer model?

CV2010.BA0794


CV201E.BA0794


I'm about to buy the CV201E.BA0794 because Goldsmiths currently have it at £700 cheaper for a brand new one...If it's just the bezels that differ, then I'll get the older one!

Any quick advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Cheers Ikemi, didnt realise it wasn't a standard UK version. I do like the red accents, but for the sake of £800 I think I can survive without it smile I'm off to buy it, will post some pics later. WOO!

That Caliber 1887 in white is amazing...must.resist.

Just a quick update, I went into Goldsmiths in Woking yesterday to buy the watch, turns out they didnt have it in stock so I was a bit disappointed and was about to leave.

As I was leaving the manager offered for him to drive to a nearby store that had it in stock, pick it up for me, sort out all the paperwork and deliver it to my house at 7pm! It was an offer I couldnt resist really, considering he knocked another £100 off because they didnt have it there and then!

So the guy goes to Guilford to pick up the watch, sorts everthing out for me, drops it over to my house at 7pm (he was supposed to be on a half day) with a box of chocolates and a nice bottle of wine.

Now that's what I call service...

May I ask... what's with the offset minute chapter ring?
If you mean the left hand inner dial, it's the second dial for normal operation.

I'm quite impressed with it, sits nice and doesnt intrude too much on a double cuff shirt. Next up, saving up for an IWC Portugeuse

Ahhhh I see, that's a stock picture I've put on the post, it's a very good point though!
My watch doesnt have that, but you've got me wondering what it is now!?! hmmmm......

Anyone got an idea on why?
