TAG opinions

My first ever auto was a Tag Carrera 17 which I sold and moved onto my Sub and Milgauss, I actually regret the sale as it was a titanium model with carbon fibre effect dial and I have never seen one since!

Now I know TAG can be frowned upon by some and my attention is mainly on Rolex these days but this Heuer branded Tag has really caught my eye



I know they have been out a while and meant to be limited edition but both are available via the TAG boutique.

What do you guys think to them?

I like the one with the black dial the most. I used to own a TAG with a steel bracelet and passed it on to my son. I still like the watch and the brand.
Good quality feel.

The black dial looks great.

I have a Carrera (CAR2110) myself and it's one of my favorites.

Quite frankly, the only modern Heuer that is purchasable....

Anything with "Tag" on it? Not so much....and NEVER over a Rolex.

I like a lot of what Tag has been doing with their higher end autos. I'm also a fan of the vintage styling of chrono's like these. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up either of these watches, if I was in the market.

Heuer is a brand with great pedigree. Sure, they were misguided for a decaded a two but now they are definitely on the right track and I expect their popularity to grow a great deal.

Like these two watches only say "Heuer" for the logo i would buy a TAG. I cannot stand the "TAG" Heuer part but do like "Heuer," if that makes sense.

If they but changed one little aspect then i would be fine, but the TAG part kills it for me. Some good looking watches, but i can't stand "TAG."

Agreed with this entirely. The Heuer reissues are beautiful and should maintain their value, unlike other TAGs.

Particularly fond of the Monaco blue dial posted above.
