TAG Heuer Men's WV211A-FC6203 Leather Carrera Watch

 (3 customer reviews)

The TG Carrera has been my daily watch for over a year now. All I can say is that it has not once failed me. It's accurate and has long reserve (can easily leave it on Friday afternoon and expect to be up and running on Sunday morning).

Saw this watch in a store. Kept walking by it and thinking about purchasing it.

Finally got it yesterday.

I buy watches more for their beauty than their name and this is a beautiful watch. I've only had it a day and I've already gotten compliments from my compadres.

Oh yeah...it seems to tell the time ok too :)
