TAG GRAND CARRERA Calibre 36. Advice please

[Husky610]

Afternoon all.

Now I'm an absolute novice when it comes to watches I think the last time I wore one was at school and even then it was a bloody Casio of some sort!

The wife wants to by me a nice watch for an upcoming Birthday so has told me to find one, I'm an engineer offshore Two weeks at a time and the time I'm at home I'm nearly always in shorts/jeans casual attire if you like so I don't want to be wearing something that looks like I should be wearing a shirt and tie with.

Found this, I know it's discontinued now but spoken with Beaverbrooks in Exeter who have Two left in their network at £7k

What realistically price wise should I be looking to pay for it? Or any idea's where else would have one as I've struggled to find a supplier with one in stock.



Cheers Scott.

That TAG is based on Zenith's Strking 10th range (same movement). Check one of them out, a much better way to spend your money and about 5k should bag you a new one, 4k pre-owned.

Knocks the TAG into a cocked hat and from a proper manufacture rather than a high-end fashion brand

^ good advice.

The Zenith is much classier IMO and is less likely to date quite as much as the TAG you've suggested, OP- nice as it is.

If this is your one watch, and you think you would like to wear it for all occasions, think what would suit casual AND smart attire. I appreciate you're mostly 'casual' but on the occasions you do shine your shoes, that TAG might look a bit out of place...?

£7K to spend

You're off the Christmas card list! That's bks, sorry. Guess is a high end fashion brand. As is Hugo Boss.

Nasty man!

My post was meant with tongue firmly in cheek - I own a couple of TAGs and have had many more

Zenith is superior manufacture though, no arguing that point!

7k for me would be a Daytona or a little bit more and this http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?276617-FS-Ro...

Thanks folks, think I'll continue with the search tomorrow.

Bear in mind we've only suggested chronos since that what you put forth in your op, but if there's another style of watch you like, then say so, so we can suggest versions of it that may be worth considering as well.
