Most popular/best selling TAG-Heuer watches
Discussion
Apart from possibly a lower priced watch filled with diamonds I can't think of any Tag that costs that much. I'm not a Tag hater I like a lot of their range but I can think of a lot of other makes I'd buy if I had that sort of money. If it had to be a Tag I'd try and source a Monaco and Carrera in that budget.

Sure is. But what's your point? There isn't 6-7000 worth of quality, horology or engineering in the Monaco or IMHO any TAG. Not compared to Rolex, JLC, 8500/9300 Omega or B01 Breitling. Second hand for 7k you're looking at some serious AP Royal Oak, VC Overseas and any other dozens of superior watches. The lauded 'in-house manufacture' TAG 1887 movement was later found out to be an old Seiko calibre that TAG had claimed they had taken 3 years to develop. All lies. Nothing wrong with the Seiko as an ebauche of course, but the marketing chumps thought they'd get away with it
I sold both of my Monacos this year, shame but didn't wear them anymore.

I love mine. (Not a gulf one) :-(
Rolf Harris painting were iconic until a few months ago !!.....when a manufacturer takes a brand downmarket as Tag have done....you bring everything associated previously down with it.I love mine. (Not a gulf one) :-(
Most Tags have £50 movements in them unless they are quartz .....and then its £20 movements
To the OP .....with a £6000 budget you could buy a previously owned Patek dress watch or a jolly nice Rolex

Probably only the Calibre 36 Monaco with the Zenith movement. Could get a really nice real Zenith for that money though....
The only TAG I have left in my collection is a Calibre 36 Monza in black. TAG make a nicely designed case and deployant... couple that with a fors5t class chronograph movement and it's a watch I will never part with! A thing of quality and beauty. When TAG try, they can do it.I shall wear it tomorrow, it's been a while!
I'm looking to buy to sell on as a particular opportunity has arisen. I'm using the proceeds to fund another watch I actually want however my original purchase must be a TAG. I'm not a real fan of them either. Thanks for all your replies. Keep them coming.
There are a few Monaco specials at around £10k, do these sell?

I'm guessing gift vouchers or insurance payout for a chain who sell Tags but not the brand you want? We had a similar question on here a while ago and I think the consensus was to sell the vouchers at a small discount (in case someone wanted jewelry as it was Goldsmiths or somewhere) as it was better than taking a risk on buying a single high value item that didn't have a big market, to sell on.There are a few Monaco specials at around £10k, do these sell?
Apologies if I am on the wrong track here but maybe that's an idea if I am not?!

Nearly but no voucher to sell so I have to take stock. Apologies if I am on the wrong track here but maybe that's an idea if I am not?!
6k on a TAG?
TAG are famous for selling lots of formula 1 models and aqua racers which were around the 500-750 quid bracket , they now sit on the grand price range now that's the majority of TAGs that are sold. The chronos and Carreras and 'Monacos are the flagship models and have doubled in price from 2k to 4k in the past few years and are decent models but anything above this is punching out of its league.
