    Picture Cal16 day/date correct logo?

    Of both curiosity and future aquire I have been examining pics of the TAG Heuer logo on this. Did this logo change during the various vintages of this watch? Based on the white dial I have found the writing on the logo most times being printed on the same color as the dial, but I have also seen the writing with silver filling inside the TH logo. Please enlighten me. This might just be an illusion.
    Also, the much discussed "G" in TAG. I find the arrows in the G standing more out in different photos.
    Both photos supposedly of auth watchs:
    Silver logo filling: http://cn.tagheuer.com/uploads/varia...6235_large.png
    Dial color filling: http://www.rottingtelevision.com/wp-...-Date-8-WM.jpg
    Also my last point is prominent on the pics as you can clearly see there is more space between the bottom of the top arrow and the middle of the letter G. I might be picky here, but I just wanted to get a clear view of what the logo should look like.

    Any feedback is appreciated.

    On my cell phone the tag heuer photo looks like it may be computer generated. I wouldn't trust a photo from the manufacture site. I would look for more real world examples like your calibre11 photo there. Then compare.

    bingo!
    first of all, make sure you really are looking at real photos of the actual authentic watch.
    most manufacturers use various rendering methods to present their watches in a consistent fashion.

    in this case, it should be an applied logo on the day-date.


    WIS Handbook, Chapter 1, Rules 1 and 2:
    1. Tag Heuer never wins a poll. Should a member feel the need to express the desire to own one, he or she may be subject to ridicule and be ostracized.
    2. Omega wins all polls. Should Omega not be mentioned as a selectable option, it is highly suggested that you still recommend the polling member purchase an Omega, preferably a Speedmaster with hesalite crystal to add extra character and a certain warmess to the dial.

    Thought for the day:
    how come all of the stories told on the forums always seem to show much better the story teller is than the other people in the story?
