Will put my cards down im not usually a huge Tag fan but I keep coming back to look at this particular one, is it an actual limited edition or just another model in the range?

How do Tags in general hold the value? One thing that worries me is I put a search in the net and more replica results come up than real ones!

My current Omega Planet Ocean is starting to get a bit worn and I could do with spreading the use a bit and ive been fancying a leather strapped watch for some time which the Tag also fits the bill of.

If anyone has one and can comment on it would be much appreciated!

I have one of these watches and as far as I'm aware it's not a limited edition timepiece.
This watch has been out a number of years now and I bought mine when they first became available.
It's a watch that looks and feels great and gets plenty of compliments.
My advice would be that you should not be paying anywhere near RRP for this example.
If you want a new one then contact Dom H on PH. Alternatively these watches are available on the second hand market and you will save yourself a lot of money.
Have a search on: http://www.chrono24.com/

If you have any further questions just ask otherwise good luck, you won't be disappointed.

The guy is a salesman, it's his job to sell you the watch.
If you haven't got money to burn, then you do your due diligence before handing it over.

Just by chance got the opportunity on a 6 month old Calibre 17 for 2.5k, seem a fair price?

Presumably a dealer, not a private purchase?
Initially I was thinking it sounds pretty good, but a quick look on C24 pulled up this, which I think is new – you'll need to confirm.

If it is, then you could haggle over it, and even without any shenanigans over declared valuation on the documentation, you'd still have it for less, once landed.

Seems pretty much on the money.

http://www.chrono24.com/en/tagheuer/grand-carrera-... – brown dial, private. If not a limited edition model, then you could save quite a bit if you negotiate the right price.

The limited edition (250 pieces) is the Carbon Fibre face model. Same as above but stainless steel. I have a picture somewhere.
