You're wrong about Tag Heuer. Tag is great 

Lucky you - Your wife has good taste 😃😃

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch I know, I know!😆

Excellent point. Agree completely 😃

Such an excellent point!

Perhaps this is off-base, but I feel like Tag Heuer is today what Rolex used to be in the 1960s. I wasn't around in the 1960s, but adjusting prices for inflation - typical Rolexes were similar to the entry-level Tags of today. That is to say - they were watches that were *expensive* from the standpoint of your average, Joe Q. Public, but they weren't outrageously priced such that they cost more than a decent used car (or even more) for just their regular and common offerings. Plus - Tag Heuer makes nice-looking, eye-xatching watches that appear to be high-quality and durable. Like I said, I believe the Tags of today (at least their tool-ish watches) occupy the same niche that Rolex sport watches did in our grandfathers' generation.

Listen, listen…👏👏👏

The first paragraph is spot on

Nico Leonard is in danger of becoming a parody of himself. I saw an interview where someone expressed their take on him - that Nico Leonard is good at saying very conservative things to conservative people in a way that makes them feel progressive and radical. I think that sums him up perfectly.

Who can really ignore Nico? 😂

Always ignore Nico.Leonard

Thank you 😀😀

There you have it. Tag has something 😃😃

My point exactly 😃

Well said 😃

Glassbox indeed a very good looking watch, size and good movement.

Fire indeed 😃

Stunning piece! Had heart set on a speedmaster but think I might get a glassbox instead..

It is fire indeed. The one Tag since I started collecting watches 15 years ago that I just kept going back to and thinking about until I couldn’t resist buying it. Finally a modern Tag Heuer worth lusting over! Hope the French Billionaire’s kid keeps it up. So far he is knocking it out.

Good choice. Good price 😃😃

I will do my best and thanks for sticking around 😃😃😃👊

Thanks a ton 😀😀

My Wife took me to the AD on my 70th………got my 2nd Heuer in , uh…55 years…😭😭😭, lol! I did get the blue Carrera with date at 06:00. It is awesome, runs inside COSC a tad fast (perfect) and the rest of my collection is lonely, 😑 You have the most intellectually honest channel on the tube. I enjoy your take immensely Mike! Keep up the great work!

For good reason - They're great 😃😃

Thanks - And thanks for sticking around. I'm happy that there are those out there that enjoy my approach. I don't profess to be right but I try to be balanced and straight forward. cheers 😃😃

Good analogy at the end there. Thanks for taking the time to contribute 😃

My first grown up watch was a Seiko Kinetic. My second? Tag Heuer Link bracelet quartz chrono. Loved that watch 😃

Tak. Glad for at høre det 😀

Exactly 😃😃

To each his own - but glad you watched the video 👊

lol 😂😂

You have a silverstone? Very cool 😃

Things have changed for sure. We're just generally more open to more brands, I think 😃😃

To each his own - I have faith that there will be more of those good tags 😀

Interesting insights. Makes sense for LVMH to move some talents around to cross polinate among brands 😃

It is quite the watch 😃😃

Thanks.... I think 😂😂

For good reason. Great watch 😊

Cool reference. 😀😀

thanks 😃

"a bit greedy" is likely an understatement - Totally agree with you 😃

Tag really have been a starting point for many peoples watch journey. We have to give them that 😃

That's the spirit - Do your own thing and don't be a slave to others opinions. Cheers 😃😃

Leather straps are often an afterthought many places unfortunately. For me - IWC straps are typically fire 😃

you have to understand that some of us remember the 90's and it was not kind to Tag and many other brands. Does anyone else remember Amstrad?

It's easy to just ignore a brand because of a popular perception. A shame really 😃

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch In the case of Tag Heuer it was a business in an industry going through an upheaval in 70s to 80s (quartz crisis) that bankrupted many prestigious companies. These bankrupt companies had their intellectual assets sold off at a cut price to investors who moved production overseas and used the heritage, image and historic goodwill to sell fashionable watches made at a price with a lower level of quality. This practice often occurs in other industries such as automotive and clothing. The simple fact was that Tag Heuer had lost its allure of exclusivity and become more well-known for producing affordable entry-level Swiss watches with quartz movements. However; credit must be given to the fact that production for Tag Heuer was never moved overseas to Asia even though quality standards did slip overall with increased production to make the brand more accessible to a wider audience. This is important to remember because if you cannot sell enough watches at a decent profit you will not have a watch company for very long. Most watch collectors could not even conceive what it takes to run and manage a business in this industry. As consumers, we demand exclusive handmade watches with in-house movements, and great design language all for the lowest possible cost. In a post Covid 19 world with all the current pressure that isn't going to happen. In conclusion; in 2023 you should be grateful that Tag Heuer still exists in its current form like most of the Swiss and European watch industry at large and that so many still manufacture watches in the West.

Thanks 😃

Thanks for your feedback - Glad you found the video worth a watch (no pun intended) 😃

That’s the thing - some models just have “problems” 😀

Fair enough - For me it's the new chrono's like the skipper. They are fire in my view 😃

Exactly. Buy what you like! 😃😃

Overpriced compared to what? The one with the blue dial and rose gold looks superb. Never seen a watch look that good for under 3k.

Good question! I think you'll find some people complain about their customer service, but my own experience is no different from so many other brands. 😃

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch Noted! Thanks!

That's the spirit 😃

you and me both 😃😃

😂

Fingers crossed 😀😀

Lol 😂 Never new O.W. was a Tag lover 😂😂😂

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch I’m sure I read somewhere he had a Heuer pocket watch 🤔😂

Me too... 😃😃

Thank for the feedback 😃😃

Tag Heuer Link was my jam for a long time 😃😃

Lol "not Archie - the other one" 😂

Good point 😂😂😂

It has it's strengths and weaknesses for sure. Agree - Their style is quite different from swatch and richemont 😃😃😃

Ditto 👍😀

Can't do magnum opuses every weekend - They're really hard work putting together (and I like mixing things up a little - RU-vid algorithm be damned) 😃😃

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch I'll be waiting:) I will pay tribute to the algo-gods by commenting and Liking;)

Just lucky I guess😃

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch yeah… luck implies a lot of hard work

True

I think the hate had it’s basis at some point but these days my guess most people just hate on principle 😂😂

Western union wire transfer for you, I suppose 😂

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch AMEX, always AMEX!

It's been a while since I last had a new Tag in my own collection but I've never had that experience myself. If your experience is generalisable, then it's a problem for sure 😃

Fair enough 😃

Would actually be an interesting way to differentiate the types of watches with types of customers .😃😃

🇿🇦🙌💪
