That's a classic Tag Heuer TM from the companies better times. Try a ceramic writing pen (a pen for decorating bowls etc) to fill in the bezel numbers. Works really well. (but the patina is cool too)

Of that era I agree. Your version and the chrono represent the peak of the Link's timeline but as time moved on and. The link got Roman numerals, a polished bezel and other things and the F1 got that dodgy 'autavia' style case, the aquaracer has slowly reached the top. Now the 2017 Link is some sort of god knows what.

:lol: :lol: Don't blame you DM , the link is a keeper . Nice size (39mm), a really comfortable good quality bracelet and good thread on the crown stem . There isn't one sharp edge on the watch , every edge has been bevelled , fit and finish is great IMO . The watch just has that really nice feel to it . To be honest its becoming a favourite :thumbup:

This looks superb.
I miss my SARB 035 and I would be interested to know if you have you owned this version how would you think they differ.
@Andy - yeah I've owned the sarb aswell and few years back. The sarb wears a little smaller (probably cos it is :D ) and the fit and finish generally all over isn't quite in the same league. But then again, neither is the price. The bracelet on this is very comfortable.
The SDGM, externally, is 90% of a Grand Seiko I'd say.

Very different, but I love that Glycine too.

Good to see your Sub back on its bracelet Om. :thumbup: Better for warmer weather?

Meanwhile in sunny but chilly SE England, my Tyneham for this morning.
