Gen Ebel 1911 Discovery(panda) or Tag F1 F1M Edition UPDATE

Recommended Posts

n18lld

What can they be had for? Maybe just a midlife crisis but decided to pull the trigger on one of these. I'm aware of what google says presently but what would be the going rate for a 'mint' unworn model?

Purchase to be made within 48hrs(before I crap out of it)

Ebel looks class. Tag doesn't do anything for me.

Not exactly comparing like for like here mate! :lol:

 

Everyone is going to say Ebel (except splke :D ) because it's automatic and has a bit of a cult following here in both rep and gen guise, and because the TAG is quartz and it's a TAG, which does not get as much love here as Ebel...

 

I'd say decide how much you want to spend first then see if that helps you choose.

 

I like both, btw. ;)

Ebel over Tag every day - and twice on sunday! IMO there's not even close to a competition between the two. The Ebel is just a perfect watch, go for it!

Yup, A seller on eBay that I bought mine from now has another listed for about $225 more than when I bought mine and not easy to come by.... but still love it!

As nice as Discovery is, Ebel BTR is the best deal on the preowned watch market right now. It has Lemania-based inhouse movement and a stunning watch to boot. A lot of guys in my local gen community lust after these now (uncluding me). Because they're CHEAP.

 

Maybe my most favorite chronograph ever made. And you can have them for around $2K. That's just nuts.

 

I've owned plenty of nice gens but very few have matched the quality of a BTR.

 

I would forget ETA Discovery and get this one (not my pics but web finds). Why they have a "cult following"? Look at these photos and the quality of finish. That's why. I'm a TAG fan but this is beyond what TAG could ever offer.

Think I could have predicted most of your input guys. So really I need to buy both! I can see my collection being in the m2m section very soon.

Awesome! Right choice in my humble opinion, and I'm a big fan of Tag but the discovery is on another level to the F1 and not just the movement

 

Was actually looking at one on ebay earlier today cos ive been wearing my black dial one last 3 days (rep) put a very cheeky lowball in but unsurprisingly got turned down may even up my offer after a few bevvies later
