I emailed them a picture and they offered me £200. It was worth a punt but it can live in the cupboard

Definitely not worth it, may as well give it away

What would help you is to identify the exact model and features of the watch. Every Swiss watch has a model designation, in Tag Heuer's case, it's usually a combination of letters and numbers. If you have the watch's original paperwork, it should be in there. It's also likely to be stamped on the caseback. Get that and google it.

Arrived this morning...

Not sure wether I'll keep it or sell it on as I did get it for a bargain price..

Really like this. Where did you get it from and how much was it?

 

[TomL83]

My newest acquisition. Another Citizen EcoDrive.

My watch box has one space left now. Wouldn't mind a nice Tag Heuer or Omega to add to the collection.

[Chrislake90]

So this is my daily. I have a few other watches, none as nice as this or worth as much. I do have a nice Dreyfus which is more of a dress watch. I'll upload that later!

Enough of these poncy designer watches, mine are workhorses, a bog standard Seamaster from 1969 that my parents bought me for my 18th birthday and a proper Ocean Diver, Squale watch I've had since 1975. Both work perfectly, serviced and battery change every 2 years.

 

[B5NUT]

Here are my two watches first one is a Oysterdate and the second a Vacheron Constantin 1912 (not from 1912). Would like a Panerai, but I've got small wrists so they look a little daft on me..

I've just treated myself to a vintage (1969) Omega Speedmaster Mark II.

Hi team,

So I have a 6 month old Christopher Ward Trident Pro 600 GMT. I love it, but its bit big for my previously mentioned Stephen Hawkins wrist.

I have seen a Omega Sea Master 50th Anniversary Edition. Theses go for 1300 to 1500 on ebay with original box and certs. I have found a 1999 model (year I joined the RN!) which I like but it has no box and no paperwork, it is from Watchfinder.co.uk so it is legit and comes with 12 month warranty.

Now for me the price difference is one thing (£300??) and paperwork is another, my uncle is an Omega and Rolex fan he says that if you pay Omega/Indi the £220 service cost, they will check it is an original and give the 12/24 month warranty and build service history. I really want the 1999 model, but will haggle with them, I just don't understand why they are sold with no paperwork???

Thoughts or suggestions Audi fans??

also my current collection (didn't want to feel left out...)

 

[73pop]

Bought this one new in 2007 still my favourite.

 

[73pop]

This one is a clos second

 

[jdp1962]

What, your current collection includes Carole Kirkwood; you lucky so and so.

 

[Dan-1981]

Well that's the Christopher ward and Citizen Eco-Drive sold, just waiting for the Omega to arrive then to fit the new bezel! I've still got my eBay eco drive for boarding though, it just won't die!!!!

I’m looking to treat myself to a watch and like the look of the tag formula 1 chronograph, is there any particular rare ones to look out for, for under 2k

Try to find a nice secondhand auto. The F1 is mega expensive and has a run of the mill cheap movement in it.
They are to be fair a rip off

LOVE that! Never knew that TH ever produced it. I assume the strap isn’t original, as it seems to be shown with a metal strap from a quick Google search. What sort of value are these at?

It's actually a Heuer, as it predates the merger with TAG. And yes, it's a beaut!

The F1 range starts from about £900; hardly mega expensive.

Don't get hung up about brands, features, other peoples' opinions (mine included) and whether to get a chronograph or not. Go view and try on as many watches as you can in your price range until you find the one you like. It can be the best and fanciest watch in the world but unless it feels good on your arm and you like what you see when you look at it, it's not the right watch for you.

From the history they were produced by Heuer for sale with the first quattro as an option which not many people took up. The rally drivers all received one and the remaining ones were given to salesmen who did well in their respective roles at various dealerships.
Rumoured to be less than 100 watches although there are 2 variants as there was a slight dial change during production
Last one went a few years ago for around 6k and hardly any ever come up for sale.
Mine has the bracelet which was taken off and stored away as its unmarked and placed on a genuine corfam strap.
I'll probably never part with it.

I meant expensive for the cost of the parts that are used to make it.
For watch prices they are cheap but are a rip off.
