Weird comparison, considering that's a very old Carrera .. we now have the last of Heuer01 and the new in house Heuer02 - true in house. Poor review here.
Yeah but the whole point is the 1887 was and is the steal, the 'controversy' over the movements origins has made it a great used buy and the 1887(which is so similar to the H01) has one of the prettiest display backs for its price range too! the Cali.16 would've been a good shout here too as a classic and well tested movement but I'm glad to see that they did pit in-house against in-house
Pity you didn't mention the Heuer Monaco for comparison, and of course the Speedmaster was originally a race timer, though that's a whole topic in itself
Where does the Carrera with the Calibre 16 movement fit into the story? It seems like Tag Heuer have been creating Carreras for 10-15 years with both movements?
Caliber 16 is basically an ETA/Valjoux 7750. I have one from 2007. Lovely watch and a fantastic, robust movement. I think some of the newer Caliber 16 uses the Sellita SW500 which is basically a 7750. Sellita makes the same quality movements as ETA.
@@PersonaN007Grata - I would still prefer an ETA all things being equal. It's still hard for me to get used to the name "Sellita" under the hood. It sounds like the name of a Chinese vacuum cleaner and ETA has a rich heritage. I hear great things about the Sellita movements, though.
@@scdevon I totally understand. I’ve done some research on ETA’s relationship with Sellita and it seems that Sellita was just considered factory number 2. Many ETA movements had parts made by Sellita and we never knew it. Apparently Sellita’s build quality was indistinguishable from ETA and internally they were considered the same company for all intents and purposes.
I am a fan of the Carrera and the Valjoux 7750 so I bought the Carrera Calibre 16. It's a great daily wearer. Design and aesthetic wise, it's one of the best watches going.
Yes, ‘only’ $24K, we know price is relative, but the guy talks like the bulk of his audience are millionaires and have a few $k lying around the house 😂
@@keenan909 It’s all about preference. My 1st Swiss watch was a Tag SEL Chronometer which I still own and love. I have spent more money servicing it than it cost me lol but I’ll never get rid of it. But also, one has to be frugal (for lack of a better word) about their purchases. I’ll definitely pick up a Heuer if I can find them for a good price. I won’t pay retail for Omegas, Tags (or any other watch in that league). I also won’t pay 2nd market Rolex prices. I did break my rule and picked up a Zenith Chronomaster from an authorized dealer a couple of years ago and paid full retail because to service those is outrageous - I wanted the security of getting a legit, non-canabilized Zenith and a factory warranty. I’ve purchased from JomaShit and the savings wasn’t worth it because the watch broke within the year and I ended up sending it to the brand’s service center for a proper service. This happened twice, 2 different watch brands. So it’s tricky sourcing a good deal and getting what you’re supposed to. There are a lot of shady things that goes on in the watch resale arena. Back to my point, my Rolexes, are worth more now than when I bought them. I can’t say that for any other of my Swiss watches so if given the choice of a Tag or Rolex, it’s a no brainer to me. But don’t confuse that for meaning I buy them as investments. I just don’t want to piss my money away :-). But I’m on the list for the new Chronomaster Sport, love it! And for all those saying it’s a homage to the Daytona , just don’t know Zenith’s heritage.
Urm didn't Heuer invent the chronograph for aeroplanes and rally cars! Out of the 2 the Heuer is truer to a racing chronograph with its larger dial making it easier to read and use, the Rolex is far too cluttered and more for bragging rights down the golf club or getting mugged in London 😂
Modern rolexes just look pudgy to me. Applied indices on Daytona would look better with sharp lines of original, not the rounded edge blobs they have now.
@@austino775 oh I know they say it's 40 MM get a pair of calipers and measure the bezel it doesn't measure 40 no matter where you measure it from it's 38, I've asked my AD ,watchmakers anybody I can think of that could tell me the answer nobody knows. I wish I could attached to link to this it's actual measurement is 38.45
@@squigglyphrank9348 I think people are missing what I'm saying the bezel is 38.45 I don't know about the case it's a real thing you should Google it and read a lot of times when you measure the bezel and the case they're the same size but in this situation they're not
As legendary and beautiful as the Carrera is, it looks like a shiny piece of Christmas paper compared to the rock solid and hard as diamond Daytona. The impeccable Rolex quality is undeniable.
@@alexchang4475 Same, i love my Carrera1887 and its my favorite in my collection, and i am going to get the new one, i own several brands and TAG's designs speaks more to me and what i prefer. Rolexes just seem bland to me for some reason, excpet the Sky Dweller. Most likely i wont own one unless its a gift
Tag heuer carrera beautiful!
The tag is beautiful
Tag heuer 👍🏻

Speedmaster can still fall in category for racing
I love Tag watches

That carrera is fire!
I believe the Daytona did not sell well in the early years.
Great work doing this video!

I have a 2011 Cal. 16 Carrera. Very solid movement and the 7750 is a proven design. Highly reliable and accurate.

For "just" $24.000 you can get an available a entry model steel Daytona ;).

Omega Speedmaster!
Well explained, interesting story.
If one can afford it and find one, the Daytona every tine

so............you show the latest daytona, but an outdated heuer movment, really? not a very fair comparison imo.
You clearly need to know the difference twixt a tachometer and a tachymeter. The entirely different things.
Heur > Tag ...like if you agree

Whatever size it is, it looks great on almost any wrist.

The new 44mm TAG Carrera are superb. Rolex crown gards and pushers are so ugly 🤢🤮and 40mm is not for real men.
@primoaus Alpha males are not afraid of 44mm watches. Tiny girly watches are for pussies.
Tag fucked heuer, when Biver came along then there name become better
They got them a Formula 1 World Championship, so they actually added to their legend.
Stupid comparison. The Tag is a overpriced dog of a watch that nobody wants. The Rolex is superb.
Idiot
Stupid
Speak for yourself smh, I'd take a Carrera over a Daytona any day

Got my hands on a Carrera Heuer 2, Blue edition. The new in-house movement, sets it apart from the rest. Change my mind.
