Tag Heuer Carrera - advice
Discussion
Hi all,
I have been thinking about selling my 2 year old Carrera. Whilst I love this watch, I sat in a meeting this week and 2 other people had the same watch!! Then to add insult, the guy opposite me on the train home had one. Therefore 3 people in the same day..
Anyways, after some equiries, I have been offered £700 max for it, which seems a little low, having paid around £2,400 pounds for it 2 years ago. What would be a fair value for it?

Of the 14 of us in the team at work last year, 8 of us had Omega Seamasters. Mainly the Brosnan-era Bond model with blue bezel and dial but the odd titanium or polished dial model. There are also a load of us with Rolexes (mainly Subs and GMTs). As has been said above, they are very popular watches in some circles so you are bound to see lots of them plus you notice them more when you have one - same with cars. I generally just think people have made a good choice of watch. If you really want to wear something different there are plenty of lesser-known (less heavily marketed) brands out there. Try Fortis, Anonimo, Glycine, Stowa, Damasko...I have been thinking about selling my 2 year old Carrera. Whilst I love this watch, I sat in a meeting this week and 2 other people had the same watch!!

I bumped into an old colleague yesterday and he was wearing his Omega. I just thought 'that really is a good-looking watch'
I also have an IWC Pilot, which I have never seen on another wrist. Part of the reason I bought the Carrera was because there was not many about, and yes, I liked it.. Not sure why so many haters for people who want to own something different or exclusive, like it's some crime...
Thanks anyway, just really wanted an evaluation.

If you like it, keep it. Or chop it in for a Speedmaster Pro. Yet to see anyone else with one!
I've moved over from a speedy back to a seamaster but went for a Chrono for the same reason as the OP. I want my watch to be individual. There's loads of people at work with a Seamaster but not seen anyone with a Chrono!
Likewise, the others may have been a Carerra but unlikely to be the exact same one!
