i love this watch
it features in win a date with ted hamilton too!!!
although that film is totally pants
word of warning though
yoza doesnt do tags!!!!

I don't like this model, but I do have 3 or 4 Tag's(all quartz) and they've been fine watches. For your £1700 you're getting a nice distinctive watch. If it's the style you like, and you are buying to wear it (rather than just polish it and trade up in a year), then go for it. Don't be under any illusions that it will retain value and be easy to sell on however...it's a pretty common watch and has limited appeal (eg I personally dislike square faced watches)

Chuckster - is it also available in Burberry?

Coming to David Beckham's wrist this Christmas, I'll bet.

Old_Fart

Brendan, you know a couple years ago I'd have laughed at the very idea of IWC's being worn as 'bling' ...but then who would've predicted Burberry would be the chav's weapon of choice in the '00's

I don't think they are bling, yet - but with a six-figure price tag, it's only a matter of time before it becomes the discerning footballer's timekeeper of choice IMHO.

Wait three years and pick a used one up for 20k, that's my advice

milo

thats pretty nice and all, but doesnt seem to have a stopwatch or musical alarm, which you'd kinda expect at that price

Cupramax

/THUD/ £104,550 for a watch! bonkers

bigsinky

@cupramax

that is the cheap one. dearest one is £145K. bit outta my league.

bought myself an early xmas pressie, one of Plojot russian jobbies.

see http://www.russia2all.com/index.php?...fa325c1ed8b1ee

$150 inc p+p which with current exchange is £77

First reissue of the carrera had just heuer on it.... hence why i hunted one down.. looks much better IMHO

I tried on the one you are after- didnt look right with me having scrawny pigeon/twiglet wrists. Shame as it is a really nice watch

That IWC thing is hideous- the dial is nice, but whats with that wierd shark fin type thing on the edge of the case

yoza

I dont like it.

But you picked a nice Poljot.

I suggest you go back to the shop when you are sobber..

PS. What are you doing with my old baby ?

bigsinky

yoza,

its on my wrist as we speak it is now my everyday watch. solid as a rock m8. seiko titanium is on ebay atm.

yoza

The only TAG allowed on my wrist would be.....

Click on the video, well worth the 37 secs download time.

BigSinky, Glad to hear the SeaMaster is still in good hands, or on good wrist......

paulr

Its all personal opinion.
Me,dont like it,not bling enough for me,but if you like it then fine.

fatscoobyfella

I spoke to TAG about gettin a V4...apperently there having "certain issues" with the drive belt consistency...

Will keep with my IWC fliegercrono i think...

yoza

Its just dawned on me why I dont like the blue faced Monaco.

Other than the fact its a TAG.

Ainsley Harriot wears one.

Nuff said !

Is this what you have fatfellow ?

Jap2Scrap

I know I'm about to come across as seriously ignorant but what makes a watch ever worth £100k?

I'm a prototype engineer so I appreciate quality, bespoke engineering but wtf?

yoza

Its a bit OTT...isnt it.

carl

Indeed. Although they do make some nicer ones. Missus bought me this one today (Christmas pressie):

My first proper expensive watch (although currently wearing a Raymond Weil Tango).

Some of the Tag Heuer Carrera re-issues are looking particularly nice at the moment. As this watch collecting is addictive, I may have to pick one up in the new year. Current favourites are:

Steel bracelet:


1964 re-issue:


this one:

although I agree, it would be better if they just said "Heuer" like the originals.

Freak

Thats nice your new one- nice and simple.

Here is mine (library pic.. ive posted it before on a thread and cant be bothered searching for it...). Note the logo! :

I had a good look at the 1964 ltd jobby the other day- (second one you posted). Was v nice and im considering it possibly maybe soon- although there are others on my list of potentials (including a 1960s rolex and a seamaster from the same decade).
The metal bracelet one is nice too- but i cant wear a metal bracelet!

This watch thing is strangely addictive........
