Yes! I don’t know why Tag... gets a bad rap?? I have three of them, two of them I have had for over 25 years and they work perfectly. I love them! P.S. I am special! I don’t my watch to be “exclusive”. Its a great watch don’t care if it is available to everyone.
As long as you are happy with what you have, don't ever care for what other said about it. Some people that are very rich just use a Casio, digital to be exact. They just wouldn't care if you are using an AP that cost 100,000 USD on your wrist. They are happy with what they have.
Good boy!! Fake flexers Rolex without even knowing what they are paying for!!? Lol. I got two Carrrera's & the Tag bracelets are the most comfortable I've ever worn!!
@Arkadi Danielyan Wrong example, I purchased my Rolex back in 1991 and never get it maintained since. I owned Audis as well and I consider they have nothing special . Smooth ride like you're on a ocean? you are a poet...
No watch is garbage if the owner loves it, that’s all that matters. I have a Christopher ward c60 trident pro, tag Aquaracer night diver and an omega seamaster 2018, absolutely love all 3 👍🏻😀
James Wood oh I didn’t pay the rrp on it I got a great deal, it was already on sale then I got them to knock another £100 of the price. And yes CW offer fantastic value and quality, while the seamaster is just fantastic
Xapis A have u tried all 3 on have u? I doubt it, and for u to comment on someone else’s collection calling them shit says a lot about ur lack of class, couldn’t give a fuck what u think
i just bought my very 1st TAG Heuer a week ago. Aquaracer "Batman" model automatic and i am in LOVE! ive always wanted a TAG since i was a teenager (im 39 now) and i finally got my hands on it last week at the boutique in Cesars Forum in Las Vegas. No regrets here! as my first entry level luxury watch i am very happy.
Tag doesn't make bad pieces, the Aquaracer and the Monaco aren't bad pieces, only thing is because of the marketing they do they've become a status symbol like Rolex, non watch people buy them because of the name. But they are good for getting people into the hobby as a catalyst .
Tag basically only makes over priced bad peices. I think however you are totally correct about uninformed people purchasing them. I'm not so sure that when they become intrested and find out that they own a lemon thats thas worth nothing will increase their desire to dive deeper into the hobby. Maybe a mechanical Tissot or Longines would be a better option to sow the seeds.
Steve C So you’re apologizing for someone offering up their own opinion but you proceed with your own? I know you’re a Steve McQueen jock rider but calm down girlfriend! Hahaha
I am a watch people and bought the Aquaracer, because I dont care if "watch people" blame TH. I searched for my dream diver and from size, looks, fit and finished it is a great watch for the price.
@Steve C Sorry, but this is your opinion as well, what to say about the HORRIBLE Rolex Day-Date, DateJust and Explorer, unsightly watches made for old people over 60 years, please, Tag heuer makes high quality watches and for one price that people can afford, even being Quartz some models are excellent, I even have an F1 Tachymetre and it is sensational and with current design, not 50 years ago!
Heuer’s glory days had long since passed by the time TAG bought them in the mid 80s. Some of the pieces Heuer were churning out in that period were utterly atrocious. Without TAG - and it’s strategy of selling relatively cheap watches at maximum margin - the brand would have disappeared altogether. These days I think the quality of the lineup is fantastic, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a TAG Heuer to anyone. I have an Autavia and absolutely love it - the current Aquaracer is also a terrific piece.
I got the reissue 1964. It seems it is as close as it can get from the past and holding onto that heritage. Otherwise, modern Heuer just looks like some cheap shit.
because people told them on the internet to hate TAG. That’s the real reason a lot of people dislike them. A lot of group think going on in the forums. Breitling is big and blingy, speedmasters are awesome, Seiko is god, and TAGs are newb overpriced garbage.
The 1990's was 20 years ago. TAG Heuer is, essentially, "Heuer" today. Go take a look at the recent Autavia re-issue. At around $3000 (for which it can easily be found), it's a solid timepiece which stacks against Omega or most any others favored by watch snobs at that price point. Sick of the hate for this brand.
I own a tag heuer professional 2000 and it's my every day watch (as well as my skx and g shock). I absolutely love it and yes it's not my submariner but it's, reliable, robust and I like how it looks.
I used to own a Tag quartz diver with the link bracelet. My first ‘nice’ watch it became a beater until I sold it. I also bought the rereleased Steve McQueen Monaco in 2008 and really liked that watch. I still regret having traded it. All that to say that although I’ve graduated to Rolex and Omega since then I still have a soft spot for Tag and am happy to hear they’re moving in the right direction. Thanks for the video.
I'm a tag guy. I own a Heuer Monaco Caliber 11 remake and an older Aquaracer. That being said, I agree with the majority of this. I think the company really lost it's way for a while, but I am hoping for big things over the next few years. Thanks for this.
SO basically cheap Tags are bad, and more expensive Tags are good? Lol who’d have known? 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I like the Carerra cal 16 Day date (7750 based), the Autavia (Tag 02) and the Monaco, and the Carerra cal 1887 .. But hey, that’s just me! After owning multiple Rolex’s, Omegas, IWCs, and one JLC, I think im actually going to go ahead and get a Tag! Going to put my money where my mouth is.. In all Honesty, no one buys Tags full price, and at 25% off, the higher end ones are great. Furthermore, they look cool, and i think people just hate on Tag for the sake of it. Same reason people hate iPhones. Its the in thing, its the one thing you ca bash on and get large scale public approval .. A lot of movements used by Tag are shared by the entire LVMH lineup, including Omega, IWC and Breitling. Everyone puts their own touch to it, but that’s about it, so they really cant be that bad! Really.. I’d advise staying away from some pieces, but the hate is now so generic, its like people say stay away from Range Rovers because they’re unreliable, but people forget the Range is only one model JLR makes, and that there are many models which are actually great and reliable.. Like i said, sheep and herd mentalities..
Tags are really good actually , the only thing is just get the discount from tag and it's going to be a fair transaction at the end of the day you get bang for bucks , like an aquaracer isn't as good as a omega seamaster but it's much cheaper , the aquaracer is better than a tissot le locle and it's more expensive , so yeah pretty fair
I have several TAG Heuers and I appreciate this video. 3 Seiko 1 Oris 4 TAG Heuer 1 Rolex Once you learn more about watches, how they hold their value ect, you tend to move away from certain brands.
@guess what Agreed with you on this one. However, Seiko are good watches and their pieces are known to last for ages. Additionally, “if it’s good it has to be Swiss” adage isn’t necessarily true anymore. I wouldn't mind having one or two seikos on my personal collection.
No, it's not. As said, Rolex and Breitlings are sold in some of these places, so, it figures they would have Tag Heuers. Pateks are a level above these aforementioned brands.
varanid9, seriously? Breitling as high end as Rolex? I’d say it’s more or less tag, then breitling, then omega, then Rolex, then several additional levels, then Patek
I've had my Tag Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500 Special Edition CAH101 since 2011. It's very well put together and still looks as beautiful as the day i purchased it and it worth about the same as i paid for it back then.
I really like my Tag Aquaracer Calibre 5 it's easily the most accurate automatic I have and for £1200 (40% off) I spent on it the finish is amazing. Ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal and the crown is super smooth and solid. As for the plastic spacer that is probably a better choice for a dive/sports watch as it provides a bit more shock resistance to the movement. Seiko use plastic spacers on the majority of their dive watches for that reason.
+Ben Lait Seiko also uses plastic spacers because they are a budget brand, not because it's better! No brand with a horological worth would build their watches like that. You know why? Because it is not better as you claim, quite the opposite actually!
The Delrin spacers used by Tag are made by DuPont and are great for shock protection. They are tough and absorb impact better than any metal. Bremont also use a similar material for their spacers.
@@benlait3696 Just FYI, shock absorbance is normally built into totally different parts in a watch than the movement spacer (in fact, the shock absorbing properties of a movement spacer is so minimal, that unless you would make it totally out of rubber, it wouldn't offer any advantages). If you would be right, then please tell us why you don't see this in AP's, Vacheron's, Patek's, Rolex's, Omega's or other more high end brands? And second FYI, the metal spacer is most often part of the watch anti-magnetic properties. Bremont do not use plastic spacers. They have a patented rubber cushioning sitting between two metal cages. The outer movement ring is still made of metal, just as the housing of the movement. This is not comparable to cheap watches with plastic movement spacers.
As to the “plastic holder” as an older guy I remember when Glock firearms came out with a polymer frame. The gun gurus all committed that they would never buy a plastic gun. They said it couldn’t be durable or reliable for a firearm. Thirty years later they have proven to be the most durable and reliable gun on the market. Today all those gurus own polymer frame guns. It changed the industry. My point is how do you know if it’s bad? It might be good.
He thinks it's bad because he's looking for an excuse to justify his status seeking. As for Glocks, yes, the polymer frames are better in some ways, yet, steel frames are better in other ways.
thinking of getting the Carrera Heuer 01... do you think its worth it? I could spend a little more to get a pre-owned submariner though. Can I have your opinion?
I could not agree more. Maybe, just maybe, we are pronouncing it wrong. Like the Jaguar commercials with the lady who pronounces it Jag-u-ah. However, I like her pronunciation better.
I have bought and sold about a dozen pre-owned Tags recently and they seem pretty darn good to me . I have been dealing in vintage watches for 35 years . These watches will last a lifetime and longer . Just service them every 5-7 years .
Let me know if you ever find a nice deal on a 90s Link chrono. I know some guys dont like them now and that makes for a good opportunity for those of us that do like them 👍
I can back up the quality issues mentioned, based on experience with a TAG Heuer from the early 2000’s. Was a gift, it looks nice, but every year something on it falls apart. The metal bracelet and the lugs are consistent failure points. This past year an applied hour marker fell off the dial, and haven’t been inspired to fix it. If it had not been a gift, I think this TAG Heuer would’ve been traded or sold long ago, just not worth the trouble. Honestly, I think this watch has spent more time broken or being repaired, than in a wearable state. BTW, it’s an automatic.
Hi! What do you think about the tag heuer formula 1 gmt? I think it was made after 2010 is the quality still subpar? or were they getting back on track then?
It's driving me nuts. I have $2000 £1700 to spend on a watch and am totally confused. I always thought TAG was a desirable brand until looking at reviews. I'm not looking to invest in a watch but rather have something to have as an everyday piece that is reliable. Initially looking at an Aquaracer calibre 5 but am now thinking that an Oris Aquis date would be a better buy, what do you think?
A very diplomatic video about why Tag Heuer is not desirable anymore. It simple; they have been skirting along on there past glory and reputation for years. Currently, their resale value is horrible on the secondary market. In short, they are the Cadillac Cimarron of high-end watches. Do not buy. Do not invest. PS: It is very nice to see you back making videos!!
What do you think of the Tag Heuer connected modular 45 Mechanical Carrera Calibre 5 movement that they offer? Is it also a low quality movment and case etc. I am trying to get some info on it but not really finding any reviews
Is the Tag Heuer Carrera one (43mm) i wanted a 45mm but that's in a skeleton dial carrera one, the Caliber Heuer One (In house movement) on a steel bracelet a good choice? I am hooked to sports watches and that's my holy grail! Is that watch a good choice? Or i should look at some other options?
I don’t know if they are garbage since I don’t own one, I just have not seen one I have liked yet. They had a chrono Diver several years ago they you could use the pushers under water I really liked they don’t make anymore I wish I would have purchased. Otherwise I see nothing I like.
Yes of course, if you compare Rolex, Patek, AP, breitling vs tags, yes, they will probably won’t be better in almost every aspect, but you can’t compare a $2000 tag vs a $25000 AP
I want to like my Tag Aquaracer. I think it’s a 2013 or 2014 with Sellita movement and that is the problem. The movement has been an issue since day one, not keeping proper time, not winding while on the wrist and just not running. It’s been in and out of the shop including back to Tag for about 6 months. The watch is still not running right. Shame because the case is solid and the face is a beautiful blue with applied indices. Not really worn very much anymore.
I’m still waiting for the TAG owners to agree that they’re garbage. Seems to me they love them. This is kinda like a movie reviewer saying a movie sucked, and everyone you know who’s seen the movie thought it was great.
I like tag purely for the brand (and personally i like the styling but thats not the point) I am a huge formula one fan and I know that tag has a large history in motor racing, and they also sponsor my favourite f1 team which is why I choose to like them
I was interested in the TH Carrera Calibre 16 auto. I’m also interested in the Omega Seamaster Chrono. Is the Tag a worthy investment, or should I just keep saving for the Omega?
Well in my humble opinion if you buy a watch as a investment well know one thing your going to lose money . A watch is nothing more then a luxery item ...! Sure if your selling the watch after a while you probably still get 2000 dollars or euro's for it .depanding on the model and retail price But actualy making money off it i dont think so unless you have some kind of specific special watch your going to be losing money 😉 Some watches and specific models will make you money watches like rolex daytona rolex air king datejust they still go around 7000 dollars some are old as fuck lol .from the 80s and 90s. But again your going to lose money I sold one of my tag heuer formula 1diamond watches lol 900 euro's is what i could get for it .
I have a Tag I wore every day for almost 20 years. I keeps perfect time and still looks fantastic. Every person I know who owns a Rolex all state that they are not accurate. So who's the fool?
I owned a Rolex sub 16610 it was frankly a piece of junk. It spent more time in the Rolex dealers being calibrated than on my wrist, I returned it and got my money back. I purchased a TAG diver for half the price which was deeper depth proofed by 200 metres and helium value included keeps excellent time. I now own three TAG watches excellent product's
I have never seen a more heated debate or opinion on brands, more so than PC vs Mac. I just got my first Swiss automatic watch, after a year of searching and watching J Anthony and the other community videos. The fact is I got a Tag Carrera Cal 5 , pre owned for
I have a new calibre 7 tag formula 1 gmt.. Gets worn as much as my rolex/omega and I love it. Look forward to buying another formula 1 and an aquaracer soon.. Never would've considered tag. Went in to look at rolexes but couldn't afford one at the time.. Ended up leaving happy with a formula 1.. Great watch 👍
A lot of people are natural snobs, my mates look down on my flip phone because they all have smart phones, phone snobs , my old smart phone lost its collision with the wall it hit after refusing to answer a call after the tenth time of swiping , same with watches , I've got watches including tag and breitling with Seiko and Casio and I love them all , snobs are just so far up their own arses they're opinion is just that , an opinion , you can always tell them to shove it.
Good video... My dad owns a Tag Heuer Link from that period and I have to admit it's pretty nice. The bracelet is fabulous and it houses a 7750 movement that doesn't look too bad either. Cheers
Open an Aquaracer and you’ll find an unmodified sellita and a plastic casing... and that’s only 500 less than a Seamaster. Bad reputation is well deserved.
I think that if you go for aquaracer you will find unmodified selita exactly like in Oris Aquis and other receptive brands on the same price tag. it even can be worst because you can find Holbot with the same selita in the price tag of 18,000$. Tag Heuer needs to be more special in design and stop trying to be like Holbot. me personally I don't like the open dail line of their watches. I have Tag Heuer aquaracer and I must say they have great quality in their craftsmanship.
Boris Pradel I’d also like to know which planet you live on when you think they you can buy an Omega Seamaster for less than three grand? Last time I checked, the Aquaracer calibre 5, even in 43mm, retails for £2,150, whereas the Seamaster retails for £3,600. That’s a very weird calculation of £500 difference.
Interesting point of view. Price quality issues were often. Nowadays they sponsor surfers. Not my favorite, however, better option than Breitling and Hublot.
I had one Aquaracer (ceramic) I sold it and I bought another Aquaracer (steel bezel) with no regrets at all. What you said about TAG in '90 and early 2000 is correct. What you said about Biver is correct too. Surely I like TAG also cause you can easily buy with 40% discount. The movement is very precise (my second Tag is with me since 6months) and: THE BRACELET is one of the best in the market, if not the best, in the range 500 to 2000 USD. I promise you! Ain't Longines, Oris, Seiko, Tissot, Maurice Lacroix, (even Rolex oyster perpetual bracelet look poor compared to my Tag) or other few brands that can compete with Tag. Do not forget sinergy with Hublot...
I am not a watch geek. For me a watch is a piece of jewelry, with a utilitarian excuse to wear it. For all non watch geeks, Tag Heuers are well designed and well made jewelry and they serve their utilitarian purpose very well. "All" mechanical watches suck. They are prone to failure, grossly inaccurate, and take weeks to get repaired/serviced. Tag Heuers are easy and cheap to repair/service. Only a watch geek can tell whether you are wearing a Rolex or a Seiko. Others are only impressed by the "looks" of the jewelry. Watch geeks are generally poor and have only their "preowned" watches to impress others. You gain nothing by impressing a watch geek living in poverty. Buy a good looking Tag and impress the people that matter. Spend the rest of the money on a vacation with a person that matters. Cheers ! 😎
I wear a Tag but I don't agree with everything you've said. I own it because I enjoy the brands history, I actually love their designs and I think they make a good watch, compared to other luxury watches they're quite affordable in general. I appreciate Rolex and Omega the same, some people buy high end watches for the craftsmanship and history and that they enjoy wearing them, not always to impress people, when you buy a watch regardless of how much it costs, you buy it because you like it, not to impress anybody else.
V P Wow. You are so rich. I am impressed 😂😂😂. I certainly live in an Asian "shithole". Blue sky, sunny weather, clean ocean to go diving, etc. etc. Mine is a lifelong vacation in the tropics. Thank God for this "shithole". Don't be so angry; life is short. By the way I know for sure you don't own any of the watches you listed. People who own watches from such brands, don't use such language 😂😂😂. By the way I don't own a Tag. I like them though. I own two "Middle Class" watches from the brands Rolex and Omega.
Absolutely. The only other person who even notices you're wearing a watch is a watch nerd. But as an informed buyer, I want value for money, not just a nice bit of jewellery. Especially at some of the prices asked. This is where Seiko deliver. The Swiss just charge a huge premium for their logo.
Tag watches from the last 25 years even look like Fossil watches from that era. TH is definitely headed in the right direction though. Their current Aquaracer line is a pretty good bang for the buck imho.
Still not sold on the Aquaracer. A local jeweler sells Tag, Omega, Rolex, and Victorinox. He showed me the Tag and then the Victorinox Maverick. While I would rather have the Aquaracer, the Maverick was a VERY similar swiss made watch with an ETA movement for less than half the cost.
My first watch ....an original vintage heuer passed down from grandfather. Just the history and use behind it gave me the bug for watches . I now own a few tudors , Rolex, seiko, Hamilton's and an omega. Looking to expand and have a nice vintage side of the collection.
There is nothing wrong with TH but they are bought to be loved if they float your boat. He is right and you buy what you love. Sorry but I will stick to Rolex or Tudor or maybe Omega. Horses for courses as they say. Love to enjoy or an investment that is the question 🤫
I purchased a new Heuer Autavia back in the early 70’s and loved it dearly for many years until it was stolen. There were numerous occasions when searching for another Autavia that exposed me to a Tag Heuer being offered to me as an equal quality replacement. Something kept hinting to me that the Tag Heuer was not a quality watch comparable to my Autavia, so I would turn and leave to buy an Omega Speedmaster. Somewhere between then and now I had an opportunity to see the internals of an Autavia along side a Tag Heuer chronograph while both were being serviced for their owner. I doubt I would call the TH a piece of junk, but it certainly was not in the same quality class with an Autavia in spite of being considerably more costly. Tag Heuer is an insult to the good name Heuer which will keep it from ever finding its way into my watch stable.
I bought a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 16 chronograph about three years ago. It looks great, but then the problems started. I’d keep it in the winder at night, and halfway through the day it’d stop. Took it to the AD and they said just wind it again. I did, and it was good for about two days. Took it back to the AD who sent it out under warranty to be fixed. Three months later, got it back and 2-3 days later it stopped again. Tag said they really couldn’t find anything wrong....no f’ng solution at all. Finally took it to a watch repair place who was recommended highly...a spring was broken, the crown stem was stripped etc. He couldn’t believe Tag didn’t fix this while having it in. Will NEVER buy a Tag again. Been wearing an Omega since and have never had a single issue. Tags look nice but don’t be fooled. Interior quality sucks and their service department doesn’t give a damn.
I always like the design of Tag Heuer watches. The Tag Heuer Link, Kirium, Carrera and Monaco are very beautiful and cool watches. The Link bracelet was very popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. I am a middle class person it is good for me and other member of the Middle class when a watch is affordable because I can't buy a watch that cost as much as a car or a house. Tag Heuer was such a popular brand that golfer Tiger Wood and movie star Matt Damon use to advertised for it. I think the only real problem that I have heard with Tag Heuer was the low quality of its movements and plastic used as movement holder. Tag Heuer didn't have a lot of in house movement and the ETA movements they used wasn't customized or modified to make it different from other brand. I hope Tag Heuer fix their quality problem and become a good watch brand again.
I owned a cool looking late 80s tag quartz diver. I might have just been unlucky, but I had to have it repaired a couple of times. Recently, I put a new battery in it and gave it to my son. After a couple months the chapter ring came loose and now it bounces around in there. I gave my kid a new seiko 5 and told him to toss the tag into a drawer. That said, the new Tags look MUCH more well-made and I would actually trust the quality.
I bought a lady’s 28 mm quartz SS TAG Heuer Link for $1200 at a duty free shop in Mexico in 2000. The battery lasted for a little over 2 years each time, and it always kept perfect time. I swam in it, showered in it, golfed in it, mountain biked in it, rode my motorcycle in the rain in it, and generally beat it to death for 16 years. When it finally wouldn’t pass a pressure test, I sold it on eBay for $500. Considering cost per wear, I think I more than got my money’s worth.
Thank you for the history lesson on Tag Heuer. The Formula 1 chrono was on my list for my first $1000+ watch since TH has made me, and I can speak for many others, a grail seeker in a sense. And I did notice that a lot of prominent RU-vidrs didn't feature TH. I guess I needed to look further. But I have always liked TH.
Soooo your going to not buy a tag heuer because someone said they dont like them .. this is the problem with the "Watch community" go with a newer one , fuck what people think . Newer tags are actually very nice . If your trying to get respect from the "Watch community" thats actually very sad .. Im a horologist and I say these guys are a joke ! Ask yourself why your buying a watch . Im an omega fan , wear an f300 and own speedmasters . Ive had rolexes , very nice watches but its such a status symbol and guys that notice are so dorky it sat because i hated wearing it so I sold it .if your looking around a grand , look at the omega soeedmasters , the triple date has calibre 1150 based on the eta/valjoux 7751
If a Tag Heuer has a very good water resistant ranking, would this be a good way to a good Tag Heuer watch from a watch that is garbage. I would not think that a watch that could withstand a lot of water pressure would be low quality.
Very interesting point of view. My first Tag was the link Calibre 36 with the El Premiro movement. , which at the time in 2004 was very hard to get. I have had it serviced twice in 15 years, which I don't think is bad at all. What are your thoughts on that model? My second Tag was the Carrera 1887, which I was disappointed with when I had to have it serviced right after the warranty expired. I am a collector, and that is certainly not the norm in my opinion. I have been looking at the Carrera 45mm Calibre 01 since it came out, but have been very hesitant. This video has made up my mind for me, no.
Hi there, I’m new to the watch community and I’m doing my best to integrate and learn more. TAG Heuer is actually the very reason I got into Watches, so is it really that bad of a brand? I own a Carrera Heuer 01 and I absolutely love it! I just could lose my view in this watch for HOURS! What do you guys like or dislike about them?
Why aren't you screaming at us, "I GOTTA TELL YOU, I GOTTA BE COMPLETELY FRANK AND HONEST, I GOTTA TELL YOU, WHAT DO I THINK? WHAT DO I THINK. WHAT DO I THINK? IT'S AH SHITTTAAA!"
I have three Tag Heuers. It has been my brand since I watched my first F1 race in 1988 on television. The first is a quartz f1, the second is aquaracer automatic from 2005 and the last is a tourbillon carrera heuer 02. I took my Aquaracer in for service, while I was waiting and looking at the IWC Aviator, the watchmaker came by and said that the mechanics in my aquaracer is used in an IWC which costs 6 times more than my watch. Further comment is not necessary!
Today Tag Heuer is already as close to Omega as it never been before. Tag Heuer is Ferrari and Formula 1, and what can be more luxury than Ferrari??... I don't remember Tag Heuer being that bad in the past as you have told us here, but today Tag Heuer watches such as Aquaracer for example are pure beauty and luxury.
I don’t own a Tag yet but they’re certainly not garbage...... Too many pretentious watch snobs who spend too much time drooling over the “Holy Trinity” watches
Do you still have the Lexus ls430, I have a 2004 ls430 sport with almost 200000 miles and runs like a top, of course the guy I bought it from did all the maintenance at Lexus, and I've currently got it in the shop getting timing belt done. Ready to get in on the road again, of course my wallet's hurting but that's just apart of car ownership, you have to keep up with scheduled maintenance.
@@JANTHONYCHANNEL Thanks for the reply I enjoyed your review of your LS430, you should do a review or your take on your new or new to you Lexus. Not a lot of love or support for the lexus/Toyota scene, too many BMW Fanboys, I guess they enjoy always having to have a set aside $2000 for all the issues that can me with BMW cars, especially when bought used with no warranty. I like the watch videos,. Though I'm not really a watch afficionado like you, or have the means, I have 4 kids so can't really justify alot of money on myself.
Hey good day to ya u think u could help me I have a Technomarine chrome rubber band #15299 lady watch tried to find it couldn't trying to see what's it's worth if u have a idear could u let me know and what u think about it he quality of it also.
i have two heuers. a 1973 autavia with beads of rice bracelet, last service in the homeland was almost a grand. my second is a late 80's tag heuer sport 1000 black with gold. it is a beater now, but the movement must be clean, i get 6 years out of a battery. good job.
Steve McQueen wore Monaco only in the film LeMans as would be the Porsche driver. Heuer were one of Porsche sponsors, as they were Ferrari sponsors in F1..
Good video!! I have a Heuer Monnin 844 diver from 1979, that’s 40 years old. It was a present for my 16th Birthday. Heuer took a lot of the design cues from the Sub and sold it at a much lower price point. IIRC, this watch probably saved Heuer before the merger with TAG. It has a lot of sentimental value for me and it will always have a place in my collection.
My first Swiss watch was a quartz tag. The battery died about a month in and the jeweller sent it to tag for a new battery. A couple of years later it died and the battery leaked. Tag said they wouldn’t fix under the warranty as the battery was not theirs (even though it came back with a tag service doc in a tag shipping case). I paid for the repair to be done at tag, went to set it and the winder fell out...... not tag for me again.
I got into a watch collecting due to my peers' influences. According to them, Tag Heuers are a bit overpriced for its quality and prefer other brands. I wouldn't want Tag only cuz they don't have good dress watches.
I have owned a few Aquaracers in the past, when I first got into watches. They were my "gateway drug". I never had any problems with any of them, but ultimately sold them all either at what I paid for them or slight above that. Of course, I bought all of them used at good prices. I got my money out of them, which I gather can be tricky, and they were fun. I don't own any of them now.
Welcome back. Your number one reason is one I agree with and have always said for a long while. I think Tag is great as of when I got into watches (2015) and was my first luxury watch. I think many people graduate from their first (Tag) and then hate on anybody at that level (usually going to Omega next). Those are shallow people. Appreciate where you came from in your journey and respect everybody has a beginning. Tag I feel is a great brand because it offers status at a affordable price and all watches whether you like it or not is a status symbol.
Because you are referring to a specific model tag heuer f1 quarts, but other design from Tag it seems nice like Monaco its good. I own a Tag aquaracer and I think it is a good starter for newbie.
Been researching diving style watches. My kids bought me a Stauer skeleton manual wind watch years ago I wear to church and such. Very nice looking watch. But would like to put it up mow before I scratch it. Decided i want to buy a watch that would be a step up in class and started looking at TAG but refuse to buy quartz. Ended up deciding on a Mido automatic but no 'authorized' dealers here but found Mido on Walmarts website. Decisions decisions....
Tag Heuer is not garbage and, in fact, it doesn't even have a horrible reputation within the watch community. There is just a perceived rumor of inferiority because there are a handful of elitist owners of Rolex, AP, Patek, etc, etc who don't like the idea of average watch fans or just everyday people enjoying a watch for their own reasons. These people are exclusionary and they find Tag Heuer an easy target because they have many quartz models, they are relatively affordable and they have a sort of trendy advertising campaign with an array of celebrities. So, in a certain sense, I agree with J. Anthony, but I wouldn't perpetuate the myth of a bad reputation. I think whatever bad reputation Tag allegedly has is really just a reflection of the insecurities of a small elitist segment of the watch enthusiast community. I've owned several Rolexes and several Tags, even Tags from the so-called horrible 90s and 2000s era. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, I've enjoyed my Tag Heuers just as much as my Rolexes.
My 1988 2000 professional seems to be bullet proof. But my 2008 F1 quartz is on its second movement and 2nd crown and crown tube. My 2017 Aquaracer broke down within a year and was fixed under warranty but now the movement is rough again. It's a pity as it's a beautiful watch. Would I have another Tag...No!!
Before I really knew anything about watches, I remember seeing the first Bourne movie, with Damon wearing a TAG Heuer Link chrono. I thought the bracelet looked cool, I'd see TAG Heuer associated with motorsports, which I love, and so that brand of watch became aspirational. Fortunately, I never bought one. I would buy one of their homage pieces now, or something vintage, but only if it didn't have 'TAG' on the dial. Good summation, spot on, in my opinion.
Tag was pretty big in the 90’s and early 2000’s. As a kid I remember lots of people my dad age wearing them and my uncle who is probably twenty years older than me has one and it became a discussion after seeing wolf of Wall Street that was set in that time period. The way tag was shown a lot in that movie was pretty spot on.
I just bought my first Luxury timepiece, it is an Aquaracer Chrono and it was $2200 its not an $8k Rolex but ill put the automatic movement against anything under 4500 in other brands. Omega is nice but it doesn't take much research to find out that they have issues consistently with a lot of owners. Point is, we are all entitled to our opinions but I love the fact that I worked hard and was able to buy this watch. My First LUXURY brand watch. Tag or Tag Heuer is a company with a starting date of 1860. A swiss watch company with tons of history anyone who disagrees can kick rocks.
