Del 4,381 Posted May 29, 2017 Some of you might have saw my other thread about this watch which, in summary, was whether I should buy it on rubber or bracelet - I decided (in line with all of the advice given ;) ) to buy it on bracelet! Bought it today at an AD after trying on both the rubber and bracelet versions. I have to say that on rubber it looks really good and feels very comfortable on the wrist but I was worried that I'd regret not getting the bracelet version for only an extra £100 - I might invest in the gen rubber in the near future as it was nice too. The watch is quartz and has a jet black dial with applied polished indices and three subdials; running seconds at 3, tenths of seconds/hours for the chrono at 6, and minutes for the chrono at 9. The large central hand is the chrono seconds. Size is 43mm, has a white date window at 4, screw-in crown and the water rating is 200 metres. It has a sapphire crystal and a titanium carbide coated steel bezel with raised brushed tachymetre scale. And, of course, that lovely green and red printed TAG Heuer logo! :) I'm a fan of Formula 1 and have always had a soft spot for TAG Heuer so this purchase has been coming for a while! Here are a few snaps I took on the iPhone Thanks for looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scorpion 0 Posted May 29, 2017 Love it Del .... I wear my Grey dial F1 rep a lot more than most of my 30+ others and when my 2 girls leave Uni and my bank balance recovers I will be seriously considering getting the gen. Its a great size looks good on your wrist, a perfect fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Callumz 40 Posted May 29, 2017 Looks great Del - good idea to go for the bracelet and perhaps pick the rubber up separately at a later date! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,350 Posted May 29, 2017 Congrats Del, nice looking piece. I seem to remember you having a quartz Aquaracer once, guess you sold it? Tags are very reliable watches I'm my experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that's my plan. ;) Congrats Del, nice looking piece. I seem to remember you having a quartz Aquaracer once, guess you sold it? Tags are very reliable watches I'm my experience. Well remembered! I gave my blue Aquaracer quartz chrono to my eldest son on his 18th birthday - it's still going strong. Maybe this F1 will go to no.2 son on his 18th in 5 years! Thanks mate. Nice one mate. That black bezel looks nice and crisp. Thanks mate. Yes, it really is well finished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
