Pp4811 0 Posted July 22, 2016 Hi all. Saw the above watch the other day in the flesh. Such a beautiful watch imo, got to be my first 'high(ish) end' gen. kind of hoping they make a rep of it first though, because although it's not mega money, it's still a lot. ???? http://www.thewatchgallery.com/shop/tag-heuer-formula-1-quartz-stainless-steel-blue-dial-mens-watch-waz1010-ba0842.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pp4811 0 Posted July 22, 2016 @foxindebox My post isn't spam. I genuinely thought there might be some interest in the newest tag f1 watches and wondered what people thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MetalMickey 179 Posted July 22, 2016 I like this: I think it is just affordable enough to buy the gen, though - instead of, what, three top end reps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM284 1,518 Posted July 22, 2016 Now I have to say that's a very nice looking Tag - £950 ... Not too expensive as a gen. God that's all I need now ... Another 'to buy' on my list .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted July 22, 2016 I like this: I think it is just affordable enough to buy the gen, though - instead of, what, three top end reps? 100% Do NOT just order one online unless you tried it in person first. I was really tempted by one of these new f1 autos after seeing online, went and had a look in the ad window still looking really good..... Got it out and tried it on..... Honestly mate its a fucking disgrace that they can charge a grand for that crap felt like a budget sub £100 rep, seriously not a patch quality wise on my old aquaracer and being completely honest here not a patch on the rep black bay! Just felt cheap and poorly finished in the hand, the clasp was poor quality even the dial printing looked like it had been done on the cheap I felt really let down... Seriously no difference in quality between the gen and the tag f1 rep I sold you you sold back to me around £50ish.... That rep is a good value watch but only due to the low price point the same level of workmanship for a grand is daylight fucking robbery Tried a carera which actually was the quality I expected from a gen tag but that was double the price and nice as it was still didn't feel like value for money to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalMickey 179 Posted July 22, 2016 Wow! Thanks for the heads up, I have a couple of TAG Aquuaracers and they are great quality so very disappointed to hear this :( I guess the bar has been dropped now everyone thinks Michael Kors watches are a luxury product so they can cut production quality...

To be honest I think it's just the f1 which they have really done on the cheap but then it is the cheapest in the range... The others seemed to still be decent quality but also seem to have gone up in price maybe they are trying to cover more of the market? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is, if a company makes a crap low end product it tarnishes the rest of the range. It won't do them any favours: my first quality gen was a TAG. If it had been crap I'd never have bought another from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here and it's still going strong after 10 years of abuse, doubt that new f1 would fare the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM284 1,518 Posted July 22, 2016 In light of all this new info, it's off my list of 'to buy'!!! Shame to read all this, my first gen was a (and still have it) Tag. What a shame ... I'll still have a look though to appease my curiosity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pp4811 0 Posted July 22, 2016 Yeah really glad I posted it up now. Thank you all for the heads up. I guess I'll go back to my second hand seamaster 300 instead for my buy list. Not that that's a bad thing of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted July 22, 2016 I'd still say check out the tags in an Ad yourself but imo you could tell why the f1 was the lower pricepoint in the range as soon as you handled them, they were a step below the other tag models... They were right next to longines in the window when I went and the longines were a much better value for money even the cheaper models priced below the f1 were better built than it and the the longines around the £1k mark felt on a par with the £2k tag carera models Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakurai 1 Posted July 22, 2016 Sad to hear this about Tag, please say it aint so... Thanks for the heads up though, have been eyeing the GMT but never had a chance to try one out yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
