I'm thinking of getting this tag watch. Reasonable priced. What do you guys think?

Tag Heuer Formula One F1 Mens Watch WAH111A.BA0850

diablojota · 31 March 2009, 06:32 AM

I have the standard red-dialed Formula 1 and it makes a great substitute when my Rolex is getting wrist time. The weight and feeling of the watch is pretty good, and it will definitely take a beating. If you get it for the right price, it's a good watch, IMO.

I'm getting it for $529. Is that decent. Its down from like 1100 or something. Or should I opt for a seiko instead. They run even cheaper on sale.

diablojota · 31 March 2009, 06:55 AM

Seiko's are good as well. I tend to prefer Tag as my backup watch for the price though. They tend to be a bit more avant-garde compared to the other brands. For 529, that's a pretty good deal. Is that with all appropriate boxes/paperwork? Even on discount sites that watch is still above the 800 mark.

I have no idea. Thats what Amazon has listed.

diablojota · 31 March 2009, 07:27 AM

It seems reasonable enough. Here is Amazon seller's store online: http://www.jomashop.com/tag-watch-he...1a-ba0850.html
You may want to try to contact them directly and see if you can get even a better deal.

Oh wow, these guys are located in Manhattan so I just offered to pay cash in person for a decent price. Lets see what happens. I will post and let you guys know.
Thanks!

i have an f1. it's been a good performer. just make sure you get at least 30-40% of msrp.

diablojota · 31 March 2009, 08:19 AM

At 529 the thing is practically half off msrp.

And good luck, if you can get it for less that would be one heck of a price for that watch. My F1 has been great and I like the weight of it, but that said, I still miss my Sub and can't wait for its return.

hflee55 · 31 March 2009, 10:29 AM

go for the tag...seems nice...+ a good deal

heresiarh · 31 March 2009, 11:16 PM

I did walk into a store and checked out the model. Very very nice, however, I want to be smart about spending money, so I'm going to go with a Seiko for now.

However, I have no idea which Seiko to buy ....

heresiarh · 31 March 2009, 11:34 PM

Ok guys, here is what I've lined up.

http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-Dress-Bl...505701&sr=1-37

http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-Alarm-Ch...506107&sr=1-11

What do you guys think? One for dressing up, one for everyday use(the chronograph one)

diablojota · 31 March 2009, 11:50 PM

I'd personally go with the chrono. But ultimately you need to pick the one that you like best. I prefer a bracelet to a leather band.

No I agree about the bracelet. But if I'm sporting my italian suits, then I would prefer leather strap, thin watch. Plus, I'm thinking of getting 2 under $200 .. now that is a great price for 2??

I'm thinking of adding this one to the cart too:

heresiarh · 1 April 2009, 02:00 AM

Ok, I got the chronograph and the simple one ... i'm very excited. i've never owned a seiko, always been a swatch owner:)

diablojota · 1 April 2009, 02:36 AM

Post pics when you get them. And enjoy. I just purchased a couple of Seikos myself and am waiting to receive them. Not having my Rolex has made me buy more watches. Ugh. I don't need more. I just want my Sub back.

I don't know how it feels to own a rolex yet, however, I do like buying watches. I'm really really holding myself back from buying the Tag I posted here ....

heresiarh · 1 April 2009, 03:26 AM

Oh great, I like more watches now:

The Citizen is great.

junglemaster · 1 April 2009, 03:40 PM

archaeofreak · 1 April 2009, 09:03 PM

if you drop equal amounts of money, i think you'll come away with more watch if you buy a seiko. that being said, the tag f1 i have is a very well made watch, with an excellent movement and some added touches in the fit and finish department that a seiko just doesn't have.

junglemaster · 2 April 2009, 01:37 PM

What is the general price range for these?

akhamdani · 2 April 2009, 06:59 PM

My son has Formula 1 chrono black dial.It looks great.He is very glad to own it.

heresiarh · 3 April 2009, 04:46 AM

Ok guys I got the Tag for $500

I know I know I was saving up for a Rolex but the Tag price was good enough for me to get it now.
