My early birthday present to myself.

[Mr Brabus]

My birthday is rolling around again in a couple of weeks time & fancied treating myself to something nice ( yeah ok there's a credit crunch on but you've got to keep yourself happy right :grin: )

Picked up this little beauty yesterday :



Which will go nicely with my "evening & nights out" watch :




Never really had an appreciation for nice watches till I started working for a watch repair company.

I really like that, congrats and enjoy!

I like that! What is it...how much etc?

[jkennyd]

I just cant get my head round Tags.... I'm no watch expert or anything its just a personal thing.

My new one is the Tag f1 Chronotimer , got it at cost price cost I work in watch industry.

The one on the right is a Tag F1 Chronograph , was a 30th birthday present off the folks.

Looks nice.....

I dont have a Tag in my collection, dont know why I just feel they have lost the original style and function they had in the 80's when they became popular. Do they wear well and age like the cost would need?

[Mr Brabus]

I'll be honest & say the chronotimer doesn't feel that extra special but has got more of a day to day watch feel to it which was what I was looking for to replace my ageing Casio G-shock MTG.

The F1 Chronograph on the other hand feels a lot more solid & seems to go with many of my evening visits out & about.

You are right in saying the 80's Tags were the better years but I suppose they have to move with the times & go with styles more fitting to todays technology society.

Neither of them are technically a divers watch , They are both from the Tag Heuer Formula 1 range.

F1 Chronotimer (Left) , F1 Chronograph (Right)

I use the F1 Chronograph for evening wear as I feel it has more presence on the wrist.

[Mr Brabus]

For very special occasions I'll wear this :

Why not wear the Breitling more often?

[Don1]

I like... (I always have a soft spot for TAGs...)

Too heavy & chunky to wear for prolonged periods.
