I always see this stupid comment or a similar one like "use your phone, it shows the time too" on luxury watch posts.

What car do you drive? You could have got a cheaper one does the same job..

What trainers or shoes do you wear? could have got a cheaper one, does the same job.

What jacket do you wear? Could have got a cheaper one, does the same job.

What TV do you have? Could have got a cheaper one, does the same job

Now you see how stupid your comment was?

Best comment I've read this week... Binned it lol. Yeah no problem Bill Gates we believe you

I go down the "do it yourself for £3". Its a doddle and the whole "official reseal" thing is a complete con outside of professional dive watches (which this certainly is NOT) . Worst case, new gasket and a smidgen of watch silicone grease, another £3.

no

Yes easy enough to do

I've replaced the battery in my Tag a few times. About 90p for the battery and a few quid for a watch repair kit. Never had an issue with the seal after replacing the battery.

I got fed up paying £50 every year for a new battery and reseal.

The memories had no value as they happened - certainly none 25 years later.

Hahaha so very true, I don't even wear watches but I feel you get a far more positive impression of a professional person when he/she is wearing a premium timepiece from one of that small select band of brands.

I don't care if your super duper life changing Casio sends radio bleeps up to outer space so Buzz Lightyear can find you when you're lost on a penguin commune in the South Atlantic because it may as well be a 30 quid Swatch, it's cosmetic and vain I know but it is how it is and image is everything.

OOS :disappointed:

Love these watch threads, same old arguments.
Personally I do not like the watch design but it is cheap for a TAG so :sunglasses::sunglasses:

His memories will be worth more than your watch in 25 years though.

I had someone criticise the fact I'd spent £1100 on a watch once (which can last a lifetime), then in practically the next sentence told me how in a few weeks they were excited to be going on a 7 days cruise that cost about £1000 each per person.

AVAILABILITY: Unavailable - Expired...

I really don't know why people don't believe you binned it!
My motto is "Wear it one day then throw it away!" ;-)

Love a good HUKD debate.... :smile:

I was with you until this point. They cost a lot more than that to make, but it also implies that Seiko aren't profiting from their watches, which they naturally are, although not on the same ratio to Tag/Rolex etc.

I'm a big believer in "each to their own". I'm wearing a Rolex as I type, but I own 5 MVMT watches which cost me less than £100 each because I like them, and I also have a (good quality) fake Tag which is just as good. And costs a fiver down the market to change the battery, I won't be scuba diving in it any time soon :smile:

i don't agree.
why people wear jewelry?
is that stupid also?
a good watch is a piece of jewelry imo

im sure that's not true
it was £518 in 2015 but im almost sure that's before tax
if you take home £650 a week you'd have to earn £850-900 before tax

I can honestly say that I feel naked without a watch, might sound weird, but hopefully others will know what I mean.

And I can't express enough what a wonderful feeling it is to wear a quality watch, again, I can't really explain why, but it just is.

As my mom used to say when Joggers were all the rave and I used to play my face up for Adidas - They are all the same joggers, often made in the same factory. They just charge an extra £20 to stitch a logo on.

To be fair how difficult or labour intensive is it these days to find out what the time is.

Ive still got my original formula one with rubber strap , box and papers and receipt from 1995. Great watches but again i wouldnt buy another expensive watch after i stupidly bought a rolex submariner. The service costs etc are daft they cant be justified. I now stick to watches that do the same job . Albeit this looks good for the price if you want to roll your sleeve up and expect ppl to comnent on it

I got some TUG HERE from the market, best timekeeper I ever had!

That's the whole point, though, isn't it? People will pay silly money for a bog-standard basic watch that costs about £50 (if that) to manufacture just because it has a 'name' on it. Seiko will do you a watch that's every bit as good in terms of quality, but it isn't a Tag, so it's not perceived to be the same quality. Clever thing, marketing - it makes fools of people without their being aware of it. :wink:

Well as much as this thread was an entirely good read and certainly helped pass my morning work blues.. I think i'll pass on the actual 'deal' itself. The watch looks pretty basic in design and could easily be mistaken for one of the Cross watches I received as a gift many moons ago. In fact I have a watch that looks just like this in a draw somewhere. Can't in any right mind drop £650 on a watch that isn't even an auto.

Lovely choice of word :laughing:

I love these 'can't afford it' barbs. There are quite a few people who regard these in much the same way as other 'brands' that were taken over by the Essex lot, and look for something with a little more, what shall we say, cachet. :wink:

It would seem you are the troll

Not a troll at all. I am a big fan of watches including TAG but I don't like this one.
I can comment because it's a forum and I've been a member for a long time pal.
Do you take every negative comment so personally!?!?

Hahaha troll that's because you can't afford one!

Why pay £650 for a watch that isn't innovative and doesn't look any different from the sort of ones you see next to the counter in a clothes shop for £20. Bland

chav

I'm done with HUKD ... I don't give two curly ones if you like Tags or whether you think it would be better to buy a Casio, or if you prefer Omegas. To be frank, I don't care for your opinion at all ... I care about one thing and one thing only. Can you get this item for less in the UK? If so, where?

If not, go back to your cave.

Pretty sure you can - https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/boost/Goldsmiths/UK-003389.prd

Can you convert tesco vouchers into goldsmiths ones to purchase this watch? I have over £150 worth to use.

another troll best keep your comments to your self why even comment...

Granted, it's very similar but personally I don't think it's unreasonable for a watch maker to put a wave pattern on a dive watch dial, even if it has already been done by someone else.

Reason it's this price. While it's a TAG, it an awful looking watch!

I agree, but blatant things like this 'wavy' dial are a bit naughty, might as well get an out and out counterfeit;




I must admit thought, the Trident on the top of the seconds hand is pretty cool.

I think the copying other makes designs is an accusation you can level at a lot of makes, I suppose there's only so much that you can do with an analogue watch, they're all really variations on a theme, and I suppose the later that you come to the game the less oppertunity there is to produce a design that hasn't been done before. But CW have developed their own in house movement and they try something a bit different like the jumping hour.

I'm a big fan of Seiko and have a black monster and SKX007, the main issue for me is that the mid and higher range auto's aren't particularly easy to get hold of in the UK, they seem to keep the best for the Japanese domestic market only unfortunately

will do a better job at keeping time!

I totally get that not everyone can afford an Omega or a Rolex (or an even more expensive watch than these), or that they can indeed afford one, but just don't see the value in paying a small fortune for a watch. This is why I recommended Seiko.

But CW are absolutely 'nobody', they just steal designs as far as I can see, have no history, and resale values look pretty pants.

In addition to all of the above, they have no real brand 'wow' factor either, so why not just stick to Seiko?

Everyone has to start somewhere and CW watches are decent quality and value for money and the 60:60 guarantee is better than anything offered by any other make that I can think of - the brands with the pedigree now, were also new kids on the block once :smiley:

Decent price if you want a tag,

Sure you could get a decent automatic for far less, which is what I might be tempted to do if i was in the market for a nice watch, (can pick up a seiko skx007 for like £150) but you know, different strokes for different folks, we all have different tastes and values so everyone is going to have a different opinion.


Not quite sure why this is causing this much salt in the comments.

Not to my tastes, I prefer an Omega or Longines.

yawn whatever

I know, right, you should be able to get at least 3-4 Apple watches for this amount, if they were priced correctly.

I agree and posted such a watch only to be told totally different watch - I agree, superior.

£650 for a Tag quartz, way to expensive. You can buy a far better quality automatic for a lot less.

Cold can get two apple watches that do loads more than just have an F1 logo on it

Unbelievable

I voted it hot for the price but I think it is an ugly Tag.

I'm sorry I didn't realise you were not permitted to share your opinion, why did you feel the need to quote my comment, does it add anything to the thread or you just wanted to feel more important

Oh my god so many haters! If you can't afford a tag don't be a bitch about it. Move on to the next deal for a box of tampons or something. If the geezer binned it then that's up to him, old ones do not hold value very well as I have found in the past so maybe he didn't want to sell a broken tag for £50 on eBay. Also the comment about the second hand, if you get one like that then take it back and they will fix it under warranty, I did this on my aquaracer.

You can, just ordered on IFC. Went for the 12 months. No sense in parting with my money any earlier than I need to!

I've binned a TAG watch too about 12 years ago. It just stopped one day and an expensive new 'pressurised' battery change (done in Selfridges if I remember correctly) didn't help. It just kept stopping and TAG wanted some silly amount of money to service it and wouldn't guarantee it would work properly again. I've since spoke to two other people who had different TAGs and both said theirs did the same after about 18 months-2 years. And finally my colleague got one from his now wife as a wedding gift and the second hand fell off after a fortnight and that had to be repaired.

Therefore I wouldn't ever buy another one.

Fair enough, obviously I didn't get that far, it was only because I saw it on the watch's page I assumed the offer was still on. That's a bit smelly, drawing somebody in who may be thinking of financing it and then knocking them back.

it does until you get to checkout

Well why even comment then !

Great price but an ugly Tag.

Yeah if your a solicitor or a banker...

It is offering illustrations for IFC when I click on it.

You cant use 0% but still a great deal

They really don't !

Decent find that,especially if you can also use 0% interest free credit.

in stock

To answer some questions :
-To replace the battery in my Tag Heuer Grande Date after almost 7 years (factory battery) cost me £69.99 in WatchLab.
-When I bought my Hamilton Jazzmaster GMT Auto Limited Edition I got first service paid by Chisolm Hunter Jeweller cost £153.00 (limited to 5 years)..

If you have more question related to watches feel free as I own some nice pieces
By the way, please let me know if you are an owner of Frederique Constant Runabout limited edition or a Moontimer watch..I'm hunting for one of those a while ago

Out of stock for good now

2 became available now bought one, one now left at time of posting

Exactly my point... But he is in the business of impressing the wrong type of birds. Then he complains why his life sucks, his partner doesn't love him, he's got no real friends etc.

No I still don't see it.

Yes i do i have an oris auto.

When my wife needs a movement I usually recommend ex-lax. Though I still don't get why your watch has a wife.

He could simply post a pic in the car including his user name to prove the doubters wrong. Don't see it happening though.

Hmm, nearly two weeks Old Age Pension? Sounds a bargain to me :smiley:

That depends on how much of your income is cash in hand and comes from a grow tent in the spare room though :stuck_out_tongue:

That doesn't quite add up... £33,800 per annum after tax average salary , pretty sure it's about 27k BEFORE tax

Totally different to the Tag

OOS Expired

Availability: Unavailable

OK, Bill Gates here, i never literally threw it in the bin, I sold it for "spares or repair" on ebay and got in the region of about £90 for it if I recall. Hardly a sound investment for a watch that cost in excess of £700 when new. As far as I'm concerned, it was a scrap watch that wasn't working after I stopped taking it to a Tag retailer for a battery replacement, so yes it was "binned" in my book, albeit not literally.

Love all the comments here about status and wealth. In this village all the people with the greatest wealth and the biggest houses tend also to drive the oldest cars, wear the cheapest watches and shop at Aldi. Self-confidence is a wonderful thing.

There are watches worth spending premium on (based on heritage, quality, retained value etc) and Tag just isn't one of them.

I like you, you don't let things get to you.

If you can reserve or buy this in store (without paying in advance), remember that you can turn your Tesco Clubcard points into Goldsmith vouchers so each £5 in Tesco vouchers equates to a further £15 discount. Great deal, heat added.

This type of deal is always like this. There's the people who mostly buy the cheapest things so see this deal as being too expensive, people who believe in everything tech who see his as "only a watch and £650", those who compare it to everything else cheaper and then there's people who upvote based on the perceived quality of the item. Quite simply is this the best price for this particular item, if so the deal is hot.

As for what phone, car, house or holiday you go on, they serve far different purposes to a watch, so any comparison for illustration of wealth is ridiculous.

- What car do you drive? You could have got a cheaper one does the same job..

Ford SMax for carrying capacity, Caterham for racing. Find me two cars that do the same jobs just as well but cost less, and I'll buy them.

- What trainers or shoes do you wear? could have got a cheaper one, does the same job.

The cheapest ones I can find that are comfortable, not likely to fall apart in a couple of weeks and aren't too garish.

- What jacket do you wear? Could have got a cheaper one, does the same job.

Generally a five year old soft-shell fleece I bought at 70% off. I also have a Caterham branded coat I won in a raffle.

- What TV do you have? Could have got a cheaper one, does the same job

Could have bought a smaller or inferior quality one, I certainly didn't buy it for it's name or perceived quality.

- Now you see how stupid your comment was?

No.

I think what you're saying is that anyone who walks round in designer trainers wearing an overpriced Superdry jacket and leaves the manufacturers' stickers on their sunglasses shoudn't take the mick out of someone buying a watch just because of the brand. I think we're all with you there.

Personally I have absolutely no problem with people spending loads of money on watches. I spend loads of money on race tyres and circuit fees - I expect some people think that's daft. But trying to claim that everyone wastes money when they could have got things that perform just as well for much less money is just silly.

Always amuses me that one.

casio classic £6.89,posted 12 hours 12 mins ago,save your money,

There are 2 scenarios here. 1) You are a hypocrite, saying that people waste their money on expensive watches to show off, but you've wasted your money on an expensive car to show off. (Which actually is a very sad investment compared to a watch because your car will depreciate significantly more than a watch ever will). Or the 2) you are lying about your car.

It's definitely number 2.

Have you any idea how much automatics cost to service, and how often it has to be done?! It won't take long to exceed the cost of the watch.

Id be more tempted to pay £250 more and get the automatic

http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/TAG-Heuer-Formula-1-Calibre-5-Mens-Watch/p/17381033/

rather spend this sort of money if i had it on a decent Seiko
think the Tag brand has had its day IMHO

cant see the point in buying a tag then not getting it resealed when comes to batteries

I wouldn't pay tag price but my jeweller reseals for £35-£50 they rolex agents for service repairs.

one of the tags the watch is about 15yr old and on second battery,

the strap on one of his watches worn they wanted £560 for new bracelet, mad, however sourced watch was for sale at outlet for £450

if for anyone interested in this watch does tesco clubcard still work here

It is expensive, however not £100, i had my F1 sorted last year, new strap as it is a rubber strap one, service includes battery replacement;

Maintenance service £70.00 inc of vat

Black strap, reference BS0081 £30.00 inc vat

Bezel, reference HL0187 £40.00

Parts & Labour fee (for fitting strap & bezel) £24.00 inc of vat

Return postage & packaging £9.00 inc of vat

I bought it in the NAAFI in Germany 1995 for £120 :confused:

I to have a Speedmaster a Seiko padi arrived in the week,and a cw among others.The makira pro 500. It's a new company yes but the people behind it are passionate about what they do and for build quality fantastic.

​I've had Tag F1 watch for 15 years. I got it serviced by Tag after about the first 5 years when the battery started to go. Went for another 5 years and got a quote from Tag but in the end went for a Timpson battery and that was fine. I swam and didn't take it off in the shower etc and it was all good, granted I haven't dived since I first got it so it hadn't been testes at pressure greater than 5m.

Last year I decided to send it away to Watch Doctor along with a wife my watch has had for years that needed new movement and they were great.

So in short my Tag still looks great after 15 years with two services in that time and just three batteries. Voting hot ☺️

My thoughts exactly. And not a tag. Although price reduction is good but never worth 1000 in the first place.

Had a Tag about 2 years ago, little things about it bugged me, strap was really uncomfortable compared to my omega, hands didn't line up perfectly, bezel got stuck. Tag customer service is just an independent company in Manchester whose customer service is shocking, wouldn't have one again. Had Breitlings & Omega's in the past & although obviously more expensive it's also obvious why.

I got a tag this year and sent it back ,I thought the quality was crap

I'd agree with you if I had the time.

£50 to replace the battery on an indifferent watch very little different in reality from a Seiko costing a tenth of the price just strikes me as incredible.

Something in all this reminds me of the Emperor's New Clothes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes

Good price however ignore the RRP as it can always be had at well under that at places like Watchsource (currently £735 on there)

As for battery replacement, mine finally needed replacing after six years and I took it to F Hind on the High St. Individual replacement was about £50 but they do a lifetime deal with TAG which cost £95 (this was last year). It gets sent away to TAG, battery replaced, cleansed and resealed. Came back sparkling and will not have to pay again for as long as I own the watch. Do it yourself and you lose the water resistance etc but each to their own.

Funhy i saw a similar stupid comment like yours a few weeks ago on an Omega deal. Take with a pinch of salt folks not every watch collector takes themselves so seriously!

Who cares what time it is? :/ it's a lot of money to spend just to know something so irrelevant.. add that to the extra weight on ONE of your wrists! crazy talk :wink:

Benn holding out for ages for this one to get the 25% discount.

from the general tone and content of his posts, his username, and his HUKD posting history... I have come to the conclusion 'muffboy' is a 17 year old closet homosexual living with his parents. His dad owns the BMW mentioned and he regularly dreams of the ways he could spend £2000 if he had it, it wouldn't be on a watch. the fact people do infuriates him. That sort of money would be far better spent on Xbox games an iPhone 7 and a sound system for his 1.2 L fiat punto .

Cool story bro :laughing:

​Its important to remember a watch is an item of jewllery. The point of jewllery is to be a thing of beauty. Not considering a piece of jewllery purely based on the bit you don't see doesn't make complete sense. Of course having a beautifully crafted in house automatic movement trump's having a quality quartz movement... no questions asked. BUT what if the watch housing has to be made deeper to house that more complex movement and now it no longer sits well on the wrist? feels cumbersome. Now you have a mechanically superior watch that fails at its purpose for existing in the first place.
the 3 contenders for me whilst out eventually buying the tag F1 in this deal were the Longines conquest GMT (automatic) Tag aquaracer (automatic) Tag F1 (quartz). F1 won as it was the most beautiful & felt like it was made for my wrist (sat a lot slimmer, especially when compared to the almost comical depth of the Longines). It will last as long as the other watches, tell the time more accurately​ (albeit slightly), will be able to be popped on whilst running out the door with no time/date adjusting. There are other factors to consider also, no great need for expensive servicing, and although it doesn't apply in this case mechanical watches with further complications tend to be more likely to fail, which tends to be very costly (dead chrono dials needing complete movement changes)

I have a 60/40 split of quartz/auto watches in my small collection in favour of quartz. I appreciate the fine craftsmanship of a good auto, but would never refuse to buy a watch because it was quartz.

My favourite watch is an auto and the cheapest one I own. A Seiko SKX009. It's a lovely piece of jewllery :smiley:

Got my battery replaced at Timpsons, pay £50 and get battery changed for watch lifetime, done it 2 times so far on my 18 year old Aqu Racer, paid £500 in 1998, never had a problem, been a great watch with the blue face.

Echoing what others are saying regarding the movement. Even at £650, the only thing this watch has going for it is the Tag branding.

There are too many anuses on here that have nothing better to do than report folk!!... a holes

You too have a nice Easter Sunday, I will spend mine driving a BMW M6 Gran Coupe, 560 BHP and doesn't smell of weewee!

Lol 100k 560bhp car? Sounds like you are the one doing bragging. Also calling me a boy and telling me its my bed time? An obvious troll. Anyway I haven't got anymore time to reply to you. Have a nice easter sunday :smiley:

Doubt it. You own. 50k car and your last post was for a steering wheel for an xbol lol. What car do you have on Gta a Lambo or Ferrari? Do you sit on your dad's lap and press the pedals??

I thought you were the muffBOY...

My local bus doesn't have 560 BHP and also carries old people that smell of weewee.

Yes, I find all people that drive £100,000 cars think spending £600 on a watch is a bit too much.

go to bed it must be way past your bedtime boy

Yeah, having had a few Seamasters and two Submariners, I agree the Seamasters do feel a bit better built.

And who says I or anyone brags about a watch? I wear it cause I like it. Most of the time its under my sleeve where people can't see it anyway.

Why spend 50k on a car when you can get a bus? Takes you from A to B right?

I currently drive a car that was £100,000 list price new, it cost me £50,000 at 9 months old. £50k well spent in my opinion, on the dashboard it tells me the time, hence I have no need for a watch even on a 1,000 mile journey. I don't feel the need to brag about my car, however since you are all bragging about your poxy watches I thought it was worth a mention. By the way it's 22:58 p.m.in case you ain't got a stupid £2,000 watch on your wrist.

I had planed on buying one with a date window but Goldsmiths in the Metro Centre didn't have them in stock (this was late last November) and I would have had to wait a month for one. Still happy with mine though but the cheaper Seamaster feels nicer on the wrist imo.

Bought 6 - one for the wife, and 5 for the bin

Probably comes down to jealousy. I guess he can't afford it so spites people who can.

Why buy anything expensive then? I suppose you don't have any luxury items in your possession?

I've had the same conversation with a friend of mine that couldn't understand why I would spent 4 figures on a watch since you can tell the time anywhere. She then went and bought herself a Prada bag which was more expensive then my watch! I asked her why buy an expensive bag when you could use an asda bag which does the same thing.

I have several watches ranging from a fairly cheap smart watch to a mid range and a luxury watch. What's wrong with people actually you know... Just liking and buying things they like.

No

I have never worn a watch and never understood the actual point of them in terms of "telling the time" Yes they tell the time but no matter where I am in the world I can find out the time in a matter of seconds as there are clocks, televisions, etc. everywhere you look.
This has always been the case so no need to even mention mobile phones.
What we actually have here is egotistical people wearing expensive items on their wrist to show off to other similarly minded fools, actually guys we don't care, so you just carry on wasting your money on stuff like this whilst the rest of us laugh at your foolishness.

Haven't got a clue what you're on about. Seems a lot of jealousy for us who can afford and like to wear decent watches. Wearing my carerra now and love it. I also have seiko and citizen and these are great too. Just fancied treating myself to something that looks good and will pass on to my son one day. As for my drawer that is where I keep my Gucci underwear

Echo a few earlier comments re Seiko.

I'm lucky enough to have a Rolex Daytona, but I'm paranoid about damaging it, so have an Orient Mako as a daily hack (it's seriously abused and has an auto Seiko movement) If it wasn't a gift, I'd sell the daytona in a heartbeat.

I really rather rate Seiko watches, especially the orange monster or any others with 7S26 or later 4R36 movement. Lume is superb to boot. The Daytona lume is rubbish in comparison (but it's not meant to be that bright in the first place).

For this money, you'd be inclined to expect an auto, but still - use some Tesco club card vouchers at 3x face value and you can be in a Tag for <£220 effectively.

Not bad.

I really like Submariners, had a couple in my time (pre divorce!) but couldn't live without the date window, I think I look at the date more than the time, even on my birthday! :disappointed:

Yes indeed. There is a good reason TAGs are so often discounted. Massive depreciation.

Old TAGs were a different matter though.

Good choices on your two btw. I considered a Seamaster, but went for the BLNR instead, in December. Also have a Daytona and Nomos Metro I wear in rotation.

I've had my TAG for years, fantastic & reliable, classy watches, this is a bargain really

It's a great watch, but TAG do not sponsor F1 anymore. Rolex do.
Apart from that, enjoy.

Considered buying a Tag last year but after searching forums and finding out they're not what they used to be I opted for a Seamaster (and then a Submariner 114060 a few months later) Personally I wouldn't spend £600 on a battery Tag watch, especially one you have to spend silly money for a battery replacement. I'd rather buy a nice Seiko which will work for years trouble free. For those who don't get why people buy luxury watches, they're not just a status symbol they're also an investment. With my two, I know should I wish to sell them in 5 or 10 years time I'll get back roughly what I paid for them new plus, I've had the pleasure of owning and wearing them.

Crap & overpriced. Merely a fashion watch.

Far better watched available for that money, with a proper Swiss mechanical movement e.g. Christopher Ward.

I have this watch. the bezel is metal for the guy that asked, a titanium carbide coating IIRC. I was a little concerned about the durability of the bezel finish, but it's been rock solid.
this a one of those watches that looked 'OK' on the shelf and in pictures but really stood out on the wrist. I tried many watches on the day I got mine and this was the winner for me.
nice watch, great discount.

casio does the same job ,save your money

avoid Tag. my £2k automatic Carrera has been returned 4 times on septate occasions for various problems. currently in for a broken crown. my Ball watch is fabulous and worth every penny. put your money into a decent brand or just get a Casio that'll never let you down!

Not a very nice looking watch with a poor quality movement. Not worth anything near £600

Had one of these for years, good watch at this price, but the battery replacement costs of nearly £100 Tag official retailers now charge make it a never again purchase for me. Also don't go down the £20 non franchise retailer battery replacement with a "lifetime warranty", mine never worked properly again after I put it in, wasn't sealed correctly and I eventually binned it.

Having said that, if you can see beyond the battery replacement costs, this is still a good deal, so heat from me to the OP.

Good price but just bought a Carerra. Would of had this otherwise.

£650 for battery operated. Good one.

These are all being reduced as Tag now have a updated logo. I bought a F1 Chrono last year and love it.. lots of complements and the odd comment like "why didn't you hold out for a Omega" but I'm happy with what I've got if I bought a Omega someone would always say why not a Rolex ?

I have a Tag F1, it's had one battery at a tenner in the local jewellery shop. That's over about a 5 year period

I like them, I've always liked Tag. Priced by demand, they'll always be worth decent money second hand, so taking the attitude that someone is blowing 600 odd quid on a watch is false. What's a second hand one worth in a few years? 300-400? As long if you keep it well, it'll end up not costing you that much at all.

I was hoping it would be 9.45% TCB as an online purchase, damn

Luxury watches are something of a weak point of mine, having just bought an Omega Seamaster but Love some of the Tag historic watches and will always like the Monaco, that said the most recent range of watches seem to be less quality more brand.

Worth paying more for a 2nd hand watch whose value should increase.

Looks basic

Don't think I'd pay this for TAG quartz but if I did I certainly wouldn't be paying £100 a time to have the battery changed, buy a watch repair kit of ebay for tenner and do it yourself. Personally I'd go for a nice CW auto or a mid range Seiko auto, the Seiko would be cheaper, better quality with an in-house movement and not quartz

In Manchester?
Just wave the stick at someone and demand they hand over their watch.

Not much use at night or in Manchester. :smirk:

I use a can too.
Can I get ur expiry date so I can call u

Problem is that the point of buying these is of course to show off to the chavs. Most people have heard of TAG but CW or Davosa? Go for a David Beckham and you can really walk around with your sleeve rolled up and your arm in the air saying " look at me, Iv'e got a posh watch". All your insecurities will disappear immediately!

I get a 25% discount through my company so £50

Bargain!! Ordered six, one for me and the wife, one for each of the kids, one for the dog and an extra one for my other wrist, thanks OP :wink:

fools ,money,parted.say no more

Same old people with odd comments about how expensive this is. This is 1 weeks average wage in the UK...

650 for quartz. Errrrr nooooooo :confused:

I'm not a fan of Tag watches, the style is not to my taste. Also, they don't get a nice patina, they just look shabby.

Too right. Now for real class, heritage, quality and style: http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/eu/en/home-page.html

For this money should really be an auto

Personally I'd buy this: https://www.christopherward.co.uk/events/half-price/c9-5-day-automatic

But the TAG is a good discount.

But this money spent on a CW would get you a much better quality watch - it's a matter of opinion how much 'heritage' is worth - to some it's everything but to other almost irelevent. Heat added but personally I'd buy the CW.

Hot! Looks great, does anyone know if the black bezel ring is metal or plastic?

CW have no heritage whatsoever! I wouldn't normally defend TAGs, but come on!

Mate, don't respond, just heat the deal. :smiley:

​plebs will be plebs

Tacky as. Even genuine ones look fake. No movement. £650 for a Chinese movement - bargain!!

Noice.

Got one in Turkey for a fiver. Great watch. Everyone comments how nice it is.

a bargain. TY OP

Heat for the deal. Good expensive watches. For those of you who have money to burn and have one to bin (not €5 Greek ones) please contact me, I'll even pay the postage.

Chill baby ,HUKD is all about opinions not too be taken too seriously

Jeeves always has the time and he bins my watches for me

don't forget TCB. :wink: 2.1% on sale purchase.

+1 for the diy battery replacement @ £3

I always this response or a similar one to the stupid comment too.

I know what's coming next in reply to this too :smirk:

Totally agree, it's not rocket science. I change my Omega battery myself, usually the seal remains intact.

Me too. I used to send it to Tag for the battery change but yes, stupid prices. I now take it to the man in the market and he does it for £2.99p. He does warn me that it's not too waterproof anymore though; but I wouldn't take that watch to the beach anyway!

TAG are a brand relying on the heritage from past great Heuer watches

It's a great discount but IMHO, would rather spend this amount on a CW or Davosa

They are not valid. The watch is technically inferior.

Would you not buy the better car that was cheaper?

Would you not buy the better trainers that were cheaper?

Would you not buy the better jacket that was cheaper?

Would you buy the better TV that was cheaper?

Now see how stupid your comment was?

Your paying for jewellery simple as. :smiley:

no

Yep, the last couple I binned were a right pain in the butt too.

Good find I'm tempted but after watching the 360 video the second hand doesn't quite line up with the markings and that would bug me at this price but that's just me. Have some heat.

I've binned a few tag watches in my day also. just the way i roll. lol. :laughing:
