TAG Heuer Men's CAV518B.FT6016 Grand Carrera Automatic Chronograph Watch

I have known TAG Heuer for years, but never had a chance to own one. Like most people, I first saw this watch displayed at a jewllery store. It was absolutely beatiful and amazing. and of course the price did shock me with over $7k retail price. the black titanium case with red stitching only makes it look even better. Not likely other expensive watch, this watch it's as heavy as I thought, and it's so comfortable to wear and fits my wrest so perfectly. As a sport watch, this is THE one. The price on amazon is unbeatable, and the amazon watch hot-line salesman explain every especial thing about this watch before I decide to buy it from them. The rubber band is very easy to adjust, and if you want a different, it's very easy to switch.(I think the leather costs about $500 each) And the watch arrived the next day. Thank you amazon.com for a great watch with great price.


TAG Heuer Men's CAV518B.FT6016 Grand Carrera Automatic Chronograph Watch


TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.

Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.

Bulova Women’s 96R122 Diamond Accented Automatic Watch Reviews

Bought this watch as a gift for my daughter. The diamonds are TINY around the bezel and on the face but it does give just a little sparkle without over-the-top bling. The skeleton heart cut-out, though, is what makes this watch special. The mechanism almost makes the heart look like it’s beating–really cool! I also love the bracelet; it’s very substantial and the face is nice and large but not too large; she has a tiny wrist but she likes a bigger watch. She loves it! Also the price and delivery were excellent!

I wanted to go on-line and update my review because there has been a change in my opinion on this watch. It’s still beautiful BUT in the first month of wearing it, we (daughter who was given this watch as a gift and I) were out shopping on a very hot day in Florida and she noticed that her watch had condensation on the inside of the crystal. It was exceedingly hot and instead of sending it back in that day (she had just gotten it within the month and didn’t want to part with it), we waited hoping it was just a fluke. Well, it wasn’t. The condensation continues to film up the inside of the crystal periodically. We called Dexclusive who sold our watch to us and it took every bit of 6 weeks to get a return authorization because they promise to send you the directions to return the watch but they never do and getting hold of them is nearly impossible if you have a job because of their hours. E-mail gets you no response or a request for an order number that, when you send it, they ignore you and don’t send return information.

Anyway, they will not (according to them) exchange the watch for another one without a defect in the seal, they will only “fix it.” This is very distressing to me because I bought a new watch for a reason. If I wanted a repair, I’d have gone to the pawn shop. Don’t order anything from Dexclusive!

My wife saw this this watch in several adds prior to Christmas. It looks very impressive in the adds and was a must have on her Christmas list. The Watch list for $750 but I was able to manage about $300 less that that though a Amazon reseller, Princeton Watches. She liked the heart shape cut out and the mother-of-pearl face looked great. The diamonds around the face really made it stand out. My only complaint is that the diamonds that are placed on each hour are so small that it makes it look a bit cheesy or cheap. I think it would look a lot better if they had left the diamonds off the face. It’s a nice watch and for the sale price I am very happy.

Loved the watch when I got it; but that ended after 3 days! The watch was going faster than the time I set it to on my cell phone clock with a second hand. I would reset the time and after a few more days, same thing. The second hand would speed up causing the minute hand to move faster. I messed with it for a couple of weeks and gave up. I could not return the defective watch back to Amazon because I had the band adjusted at Macys for $13.50. I called Bulova and they told me to send it back for repairs. That cost me $40 to insure it and send it UPS then I also had to include a $10 check for return shipping. I just sent it back yesterday so let’s see what happens in the next week or so. I will keep you posted! I am disappointed that I got a lemon heart watch. :(

I just paid out over $60 additional for the watch. Amazon help me out here!!!

Invicta Men’s 9010 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch

I ordered this watch in December of 2010. Once I received it I was taken back by its beautiful gold tone. I have received many compliments on the watch along with comments of business must be good. This watch looks very expensive but is actually quiet a steal. I would have rated this watch a 5 however, the self-winding mechanism is a little noisy and I don’t like that. My Seiko does not make any noise and it too is self-winding. Over all though I would recomend this watch to anyone looking for an expensive looking watch but not wanting to pay the ridiculous price for it. 03/22/2011: After owning this watch for less than three months, the auto wind mechanism is not working correctly ant the watch stops all the time. This is a piece of garbage, do not buy this watch you will be sorry! Please ignore my blissfull comments above, they are now rubbish!!!! VERY DISSAPOINTED that will be my last Invicta forever!!!!

I wanted an “automatic” (self winding) watch that looked “dressy” and was gold to match my wedding ring. The Invicta Men’s 9010 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Watch fit the bill. It was reasonably priced and, so far, is accurate to within a minute a week (expected from a Japanese automatic movement.)
