Guys,

Since we have no Tag Heuer watches thread, it is good to have one.

I personally own AquaRacer Way111Z. So far so good.

To be honest, I bought it simply because I like the design. I know nothing about movement, appreciation, etc. What make people buying expensive watches? Why some watches can fetch more money when old? Discountinued products will be more appreciated?

Thanks guys. Lets share!

Nobody into tag?

Owner of Aquaracer WAP1110, just sent to service last month for battery replacement under warranty

Owner of a Tag Heuer Link WJF2010 model, been using for 8 years and a month now.

I still admire it till today

my dad got a kirium when it was released as reminder of the date his life changed. gorgeous piece, all stainless steel but ive seen some with the rubber band and i think i prefer that contrast.
watch is about the same age as me give and take a year or so. despite more exclusive brands like rollies, patek, audemars, panerai and others. the tag has always been more valuable in my dad's eyes, and thats what matters most.
excited on the day he'll let me give it a spin.

Looking to get a Tag/FC or any other reasonably priced luxury watch for below RM6k for my dad's birthday.
Anyone has any preferable shop/contact that gives good competitive pricing in PJ/KL?

My first question will be why open a watch thread without posting wrist shots?

Anyway a lot of WIS perceive Tag as a yuppies watch, more hate than love and a lot also started with a Tag and eventually upgrade to something else
but hey, buy what u like

My Tags F1 Gulf a gift from my missus and 4000 series was my first Tag from my parents which I think is about 24 years old now. Still ticking after all these years without servicing except changing the seals and batteries. Thinking about it, where has the time gone?
I still wear it quite a lot and still do till today.

I like the Gulf Edition. Very nice collection you have there. .

Hi sifus, would like to seek some opinion

https://www.tagheuer.com/en/watches/aquarac...-way2112-ba0928

For Tag watch, realistically how much discount I can ask for?

my info might be outdated but in KL, Tag boutiques can get standard 15% and ADs can get 25+% depending on negotiation skills

Amsterdam can get around 15% from ADs as well

Now is 25%. To go above than 25% you need good bargain skill but probably not more than 27%.

Btw guys, do you polish your watches? What products u using?

Tag used to be on my wrist....can be consider ya?

Thanks for the info guys. Want to know what to expect so can get a nice price. Hope can get one of my first Tag soon

To think that just 3 years ago bought my Tissot and then Longines. Slowly moving up lol

looks like the data points to 27%, anyone can get > 27%?

My first swiss, already 17 years old

Curiosity, i plan to get the tag heuer connected. Any comments on it? Worth it?

And any chance there'll be a fake/pirated one?

Wow... no issue since past 17 years old?

Buy from boutique or AD

Watchshoppe giving 25% for Tag

What do you guys think of this model? Opinion?
Tag Heuer Formula 1 Calibre 5 Black

I cant make up my mind on getting the Formula series or the connected. Anyone seen the connected in real life? I saw some pictures the display is not that nice..but some pictures, it looks dam good


on all tag?

Go to the shop and molest la

You'll get a better idea once it's on your wrist

I would prefer all other series than connected tho. Connected is nice but how long it gonna survive? 10-20 years? Dream!

By thw way, I did brush my bracelet:

As much as i wanted to, im not at WM right now. Family is over there for vacation so asking them to go have a look for me.


Yeah, that's one of the reason keeping me away from the connected. It gets outdated sooner or later..but the only great thing is tons of watchface to use.

I guess i'll end up with just a formula series then

The good thing with Connected is you can swap for an automatic watch after 2 yeara with additional payment. Tag knows the tech will be outdated hence the exchange programme which is pretty sound.

The same person behind the scene for these :

He's bring the hublot feel to Tag with a much lower price tag, talk about marketing

What's AD?

😅

I think it looks more like bringing swatch sistem51 feel to tag

Authorised distributor

Authorised dealer

Sistem51 got a lot of lines on the dial one... talking about that, the newer metal sistem51s look not bad

how did u brush the bracelet?

Owned the Carrera Calibre 16 for more than a decade. Still going strong.

Where u did it?

Hi, Just notice there are a Tag Heuer thread here. Owner of WAR201E.FC6292 here.

What product did you use and how long did it take? I was quoted RM350 today for polishing.

I went to the boutique and tried the Carrera Calibre 1887 CAR2014.FC6235

It's very nice watch. Will look around for better discount. Boutique giving standard 15%.

official reseller giving 25% ... I tried my best but the best they can do is 26% ... couldn't manage to get 30% tho ..

You referring Watchshoppe?

KLCC view!

any chance i can get connected with discount ?

looking good on you bro ! I like the tag heuer series with clockwork design kind .. forget what is that series called

2 weeks of wrist time and loving it....

Mine is Aquaracer Calibre 5 bro, thank you for your compliments.

Guys. Wondering if there is any one out there that service watches, specifically, to repairing the bracelet.

I have this old watch that I bought for RM900 brand new. 20 yrs later, a pin broke. Don't ask me how. The service center want to charge me RM1500 to replace the entire bracelet.

Your kind advise is much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure you'll get yourself another tag heuer after the end of this year ... remember to share it here as well yeah !

Haha maybe Tag maybe rolly, just got a seiko samurai too

Something from the last decade and remains my favourite. A pain in the ass when the batery runs off and I got to reset the time,date etc

any of you sent tag heuer to service center for service? how much it will cost?

RM120 for quartz and RM200+(forgot how much exactly) for calibre 5

guys!!!

I am looking to buy my bro a watch

budget RM2,000

tissot/oris/tag

which model to recommend?

probably tag is out of budget for rm2000. tissot and oris probably able to get a few good looking watches.

first, you need to identify which type of watches, sport, classic, chronograph, etc.

are sure? it looks cheap dow. My rado and tissot cost me RM690 and RM790 respecctively.

any good looking watch within that budget.

alright will look at tissot n oris then

Did it last year, u can always call LVMH and ask

after service it comes with 2 years warranty again?

i think it only applies to waterproofing warranty but i'm not sure if its that long...

and i've no experience with watch companies renewing their warranty after a service, seems highly unlikely because there's wear and tear... but i might be wrong

Thanks bro. If you do full service, means they cover everything as brand new for another 2 years. I dont know about tag how much and should be the same as tissot and rado. That's why full service is expensive, over rm700.

Anywhere can i get this color strap?




Attached thumbnail(s)

i did a normal service cos my watch was only 3 years old

the orange strap looks like a Hirsch racing series

that one is basically called hirsch carbon...better use orange rubber.
as for after service warranty, afaik it is always for the parts serviced...thats why they usually just recommend a full overhaul.

When does one do an overhaul? 5 years or upon recommendation?

when they tell u to

Seems like 3 years still not the time yet

Of all ur watches bro, which one was overhaul and How long have u worn it?

never bothered to send any / never kept any long enough.

Eh? I thought U have own ur omegas pretty long, no?

see 'never bothered to send' part
my speedy actually running slow... but i lazy send... wait til it dies or something.

or flip it and get a new one

how much normally to service a tag cal 16 mov?

Not many tager over here? Thread moving so slow!

I just noticed my TAG's screw down crown too tight after sending it for service, is there anyway to untighten it?

I notice my aquaracer sometimes gain when I wind it... Isit normal? I haven't seen this in other Auto I own...🤔

Share your tag!

Did anyone polished their tag before?
I owned a Link more than 10 years, many scratches over the years

Hi, where would you recommend to buy Tag watches with good discount? Is 20% off considered as good deal? Thanks.

For Tag usually can get a bit more, have a look at Wattatime or SWG.

Max 25%

yes, max is 25% but if you know the sales, probably can get 1-2% more. or just shows you are serious if you really are. They dont mind giving you 1-2 more percent.

Thanks for information!

Thanks for information!

Great info! Thanks!

If you're not in a hurry wait for the friends and family sale. Valiram have it once in a while, cant really recall 30% discount for selected Tag?
The best is LVMH sale and the last one was 2015? 🤔

Usually not for hot model. Selected only!

Of course.. during sales only limited models available.. yet I had seen quite a complete range aquaracer, link, carrera and monaco except formula1 🤔 was hunting for one at that time..

My F1.

Which Watatime outlet would you recommend?

Which Watatime outlet would you recommend?

I have a Tag Heuer F1 quartz with rubber strap. Bought about 10 years ago. Was wondering if anyone has experienced their rubber straps breaking before. I've probably changed mine 5 times or so already. Previously RM 200 only and iirc the last one I changed was RM 500. Are there alternative rubber straps? Can I even use straps from other lines? i.e. carrera, aquaracer etc.

Yes, you can change rubber or leather strap from any brand as long as it is same lug size which I believe most of Tag Heuer should be 20mm. Just buy the correct size of strap will do.

Thanks

Aquaracer

Right one..around RM11.7k
Worth to get it?

nothing against Tag, i'd personally will pick a Tudor at that price

If I am not mistaken, I saw the blue red tag at KLIA Departure Hall for RM8000 or so.

Add a few k and get a carrera..

totally agree with you!!
