Tag Heuer Formula 1-First 'Proper' Watch
Discussion
Hi Guys
Coming up to my 21st birthday, looking at getting a proper watch, I have a few watches by designer brands (D&G etc) but I think its time I got a proper time piece.
My girlfriend can get like 20-25% on tag's at a work. I have fallen in love with this one but I wondered what you views are on this and the Formula 1 line in general. Do they hold their value?

Hi Sam,
That's a nice looking watch.
IMO the F1 range is good value for money and will make a good first Tag.
There are quite a few models to choose from, plus the limited editions, in the F1 range so make sure you get the one that's right for you.
It's a shame that you weren't in the market a few weeks ago as Tag's have just gone up by about 10%
If you negotiate well it should be easy to get at least 20% discount.
Tag's don't hold their value well - expect to loose about 50% straight away, but don't let this spoil your enjoyment of the watch.

That's a lovely watch, mate. To add to what was said above; they might not hold their value as well as, say, an Audimar, IWC, Omega, etc, but they hold their value much better than the likes of a 'fashion' watch.
Additionally, you'll be getting 20 - 25% percent off retail, further cushioning you. I would also suggest that the 50% is a LITTLE pessimistic, particularly with prices having recently risen.

The question is, are you likely to sell a 21st Birthday present? So does resale really come into it? 
The F1 series are good value for money; solid, weighty pieces that incorporate some interesting materials and coatings into their designs.
I've just sold a F1 Gulf Edition to a regular member on here, mainly as it wasn't getting wrist time. Fantastic watch though ... Go for it
