When I spent A Week On The Wrist with the new 1:1 fake TAG Heuer Carrera “Glassbox” last year, there was one thing I wish I’d mentioned: it would’ve been better with a bracelet, or at least, the option of a bracelet.
Now, we’ve got it. The newest addition to the Glassbox lineup makes a reference to the vintage cheap replica TAG Heuer Carrera ref. 7753SN, but in the updated 39mm second-gen Glassbox case. By addressing a few of the most common criticisms of last year’s Glassbox, it shows TAG’s commitment to evolving the model and it might be my favorite of the growing top copy TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox collection (okay, the gold one is still the best).
The Swiss made replica TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox (ref. CBS2216.BA0041) uses the same stainless steel case we saw in last year’s black and blue dial models measuring 39 x 13.86mm (46mm lug-to-lug). As I’ve mentioned, the lugs feel a bit short, but this also means it’s compact on the wrist. The dial is a sunray silver with black subdials, and there are red accents on the hands, chrono hand tip, and minute track.
Inside the high quality fake TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox is the manufacture caliber TH20-00. It’s an impressive, automatic chronograph movement that beats at 4 Hz and has an 80-hour power reserve. Even with the new bracelet, the movement’s specs are pretty much unmatched at this price. The TH20-00 is the next generation of the caliber Heuer 02, the in-house movement TAG Heuer replica for sale CA introduced in 2017. It has a column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism, exactly what you’d ask of a luxury, in-house chronograph caliber. The caliber is visible through the sapphire caseback. The industrial finishing isn’t much to look at, but it’s always fun to see a column wheel, basically the on-off switch for the chronograph mechanism, in action.
The high quality fake TAG Heuer Carrera deserves a good bracelet. So many vintage Heuer Carreras were delivered on beautiful Gay Freres bracelets, it felt a bit incomplete that the option wasn’t at least offered in the catalog. While I think the look of the three-link bracelet works just fine for the Glassbox, I would’ve loved to see TAG Heuer replica for sale really lean into the heritage of those GF bracelets to come up with something new for what’s become its flagship Carrera chronograph.
That said, Swiss movement replica TAG Heuer CA has said the retail of the new panda Carrera on bracelet will be CHF 6,500, which should only be a touch over the $6,450 (CHF $6,300) MSRP on a strap. It’s not an innovative new bracelet, but TAG Heuer super clone online ca also isn’t upcharging you like it is.
With the addition of a new heritage-inspired dial and a bracelet, best quality fake TAG Heuer seems to be showing us its commitment to making the Carrera Glassbox something of a flagship for the brand. It’s a strong forward step for the collection, and I’m excited to see what’s next.
