Mine... aquaracer.... love it still.... always have wrist time every 2 days

Addisonz123 · 1 May 2010, 03:05 AM

I just recived my first Tag Formula 1 Alarm. Great watch absolutely thrilled

B189s · 9 May 2010, 02:31 PM

I own a GC calibre 8 myself and I don't think I'll be able to write a review about it, but all I know I chose calibre 8 out of all TAG lines was because the least sporty/casual factor

I personally love a simple elegant watch...

d-rock · 8 September 2010, 02:36 PM

I've always liked and been partial to Tag. I've had my 6000 Series WH-1151 SS/18k for a couple years now. It's a great looking watch, it's very comfortable and it sports just enough solid 18k accents to add a bit of "class, appeal and good taste" without it just jumping out at you. I'm new to the site and not around it to upload a pic at the moment.
The only "issue" I have with the watch is the Lum has lost much of it's retention ability and 5 minutes in the dark it's gone. VERY comfortable on the wrist. I purchased it preowned as it has long since been discontinued. As I recall it was only put out for a few years so it may or may not have been a popular model. I believe it sold for just over 3k when new but can easily be found and purchased for under
1k. Perhaps someone would know the run years of this model. Even registered with Tag Heuer and running the numbers I've yet to determine exactly when it was made and when discontinued.

Love their new Aquaracer caliber 5 (the 500m one). May get one next year after my bonus ... or lack thereof comes in.

Not a good experience for my first Tag. Got a higher end Carrera Day Date Chronograph that i have been aiming for a long time. So i got it before the forthcoming price increase.

Found a scratch on the movement bridge and slight chip on the edge of the case.

Returned to service centre and AD the very next day.

Very disappointed with the money spent. Poor craftmanship compared to my Ball Watch.

Great watches but poor resale value.

Average resale on a TAG is 50% retail value. Shame for a good solid timepiece. I have and F1 and a 2000 Searacer Chrono and regularly rotate wearing them with my GMT IIc Rolex.

I agree. I have 2 aquaracers & a 2000 professional & would never sell them because of the poor resale value.

hanto · 5 October 2010, 09:43 PM

Yes...which is a pity, since their styling looks good especially the carrera line but resale value very bad that's why i move to rolex

Noriki · 27 October 2010, 05:22 PM

Bought mine 20 yrs ago and is in the drawer now.

manhatan · 27 October 2010, 10:31 PM

Tag Heuer Link, this is my first mechanical watch.
I really like this watch, I use it for all activities where I need a toolwatch: sport, scuba diving or soft work on a computer. During summer or for high temperatures, I like to replace the metal band with a NATO or a leather strap.
It looks like when I bought it, 3 years ago.

Megalobyte · 28 October 2010, 09:10 AM

I bought a Grand Carrera GMT on bracelet in Grand Cayman last year. I'm generally not a fan of Tag, but the GC line is really exceptional, beautiful workmanship. I agree you'll take a big hit if you sell, but outside Rolex and just a few others that's always the case, too many cheap gray market watches out there. But as I bought from an AD at 25% off and no tax, which is the beauty of a family cruise twice a year, :), I'll take a hit, but it won't be too bad. Of all the Tags, the GC seems to do the best.

Question: Besides Rolex, what watches hold their value well?

I love your Grand Carrera. I must say it really does look beautiful but I don't understand why people turn their noses up at Tag Heuer watches. I own 3 the TT 2000 Professional & a Black Aquaracer WAF 1110. I liked the black one so much I bought a mint Blue Aquaracer WAF 1113 off ebay for less than half of the MSRP. I think Tag Heuer is a fine watch. Not everyone has the $$$ for a rolex. BTW your pictures are great.

the wear on the bezel and bracelet indicates that the materials are not very high quality, which reinforces my negative feelings towards the brand.

Did you not read that this watch is over 20 years old? It appears to have been dragged behind a car and you say the materials are bad?

TheLino · 25 December 2010, 04:43 AM

I've owned 2 Aquaracers. I purchased my first one for around $1300 and sold it for about $900, 3 years later. Not bad.

HOWEVER, my current one is the COSC Aquaracer and I can't get rid of that one to save my life. Apparently, it's a keeper *lol*.

I wouldn't say I'll "never" buy another Tag, but I would think LONG & HARD about it before I do, simply because of the ridiculous drop in re-sale value.

GolfPunk · 3 January 2011, 05:17 AM

This is my Midsize Tag Heuer Sports Elegance. I bought this in 1994. It has had 4 batteries and i only got it serviced for the very first time 3 weeks ago, it looks brand new and is over 16 years old. I will never get rid of it. I have flipped a Baume & Mercier Capeland and 3 Breitlings since then, now have the Tag and a Rolex S/S Daytona in Black!

mmmmp · 3 January 2011, 05:44 AM

Quick Tag Tale for ya: a friend of mine bought a Tag in the early 80's. (black sports watch, quartz mvt. & cost less than a grand.) He wore it for about a year, but lost it in his backyard during a massive blizzard. Finds it in the spring: wet & dirty but...still *running*! Impressive. I'm not a fan, but I love that square model w/the Gulf logo.=Mark=

ibrando · 15 January 2011, 08:01 AM

I had a 1500 series (92) and flipped it for my SMP Bond. It was a fantastic watch that kept very accurate time. I would definitely get another Tag, in fact...

I have a Formula 1 Chronograph CAH1012.FT6026 on the way. :)

Cheers,
B.

jaffa_cree · 18 January 2011, 07:31 PM

I have 2 Tags, A day date aquaracer, and a monaco.
I feel that Tags are the more stylish watches but I also agree with their resale value, hence I still have them both.

I would love a grand carrera as well but am holding out for the new 1887 Carrera in white when it hits the land down under!

Rtazi · 18 January 2011, 08:32 PM

I have had a Tag since 1998 (Link ) before I moved to a Sub date in 2010. I can tell it's a very reliable watch and very solid. I smashed it many time against doors and wall and no scratch on the Sapphire.

It's one of my favorite watches.

mpaone · 2 February 2011, 01:02 AM

I just purchased a new Aquaracer Calibre 5 (500 M blue face and bezel) and love it so far. Very substantial and built well. OK, not as well as my Milgauss but I didnt expect it at the $1550 I paid. :)

I'll write a review in the next few weeks but so far so good!

-Mike.
