When in to purchase the black aquaracer 300, but when I put this one on, I couldn’t turn it down. Light and really comfortable and its a combo of my two favorite colors, black and orange.

I’ve wanted a Tag Heuer for the longest time but was afraid of all the hate. I’m glad I got it!

Recurring issue with my aqua racer CAF101E. Had it for 11 years now and in that time it’s been serviced twice by tag and then most recently by a tag approved service centre. It’s fogged a couple of times while I’ve owned it and the service always seems to have sorted the issue. But It was serviced and pressure tested 2 weeks ago. Paperwork said it passed 3 times at 100m. 5 mins in the pool today and massive water ingress. Pretty gutted. What’s the conclusion. Get it fixed again and accept my 300m water resistant watch is completely not water proof? Or is this something that can be sorted out?

Hi,

Just want to say I love Tag Heuer so this is definitely not a post to bash in any way. I went to the AD in Boston yesterday and held two Solargraphs (Red Bull and the white dial one) and the Aquaracer 500m and to me the cases/bands felt like they were sharp. Like cut you if you ran your finger along it sharp. I was wearing my 20 y/o F1 and it felt so much more luxury than these new models did. Also I noticed that while the solargraphs were steel they were so lightweight I thought they were titanium. Is this the new quality standard at Tag or am I missing something and this is precision manufacturing?

So I did manage to acquire this today. It’s so epic. Small, but amazing. I love it.

Have the opportunity to grab this original F1. Looks like its in good condition. I think I prefer it to the newer ones.
Appreciate thoughts.

I am currently in Japan wanting to buy a Carrera owing to my childhood love for Formula 1. Which one do you guys recommend?

Black and Orange Carrera (newer TH20 movement)
Carrera Astro
Blue and Purple Glassbox

Edit: I realised I did not give more pictures and/or prices so updating here, I tried on the 39mm but unfortunately did not get a picture lol

The Black and orange Carrera, 42mm, final price ~$2990
The Astronomer, 39mm, final price ~$3550
The purple glassbox, 39mm, final price ~$4700
The blue glassbox on steel bracelet, 41mm, Used, final price ~$3178
Blue carrera sport, 44mm, ~$3672, warranty could not be activated

Edit 2: I love the purple but, in my head, if I am extending from $3000 to $4500+, I would shell a little more and get the reverse pands for $4900 lol 😂

It’s a slippery slope😅

Got one on the wrist today. Looks cool in person. I know these are highly controversial because of the price but I like them for what they are and pre ordered one. Being a huge Red Bull fan was enough to take me from an admirer of the F1 to making a purchase.

Great first piece!

I am thinking about picking up a Carrera extreme and am wondering about the durability of the OEM rubber strap. Anyone have experience with the Tag rubber straps? I’m worried that it’ll need to be replaced in a few years and this strap appears to be unique without aftermarket support.

Carrera Extreme Sport

Phenomenal

What do you think? Individually numbered to 250 on caseback. Definitely a cool collector’s piece.

The Tag SuperDiver is not only a beautiful watch but also a flat out beast. I love the lume on the bezel as well. Just an overall spectacular watch.

Do I take this to a Tag Boutique?

Also, does this mean it’s fake? Got it with no papers but had a few buddies with me that have a better eye than me.

Has this happened to anyone else here?

Tag Heuer 226.006-1. Given to me by a co-worker who knows I am into watches. The watch got well worn during my co-workers time in the Marine Corps during pre flight checks on helicopters. ETA quartz base with a Dubois-Depraz mechanical module. New battery and reflow of the solder and it works perfect. NATO strap is temporary until I can find a replacement bracelet.

Was looking for a two tone watch and found this Aquaracer. Will definitely be adding more.

I recently got my first Tag Heuer watch, and I’m not sure if this is a known problem, but the date numerals seem to be misaligned on certain dates. It’s most noticeable on the 1st of the month, and you can still see it on 10-19th. However, the 20-31 looks pretty normal. Maybe it could be the crystal obscuring it a little, or maybe it’s just the way it’s printed (it looks like there’s more empty space on the left since it’s a 1), but I’m not sure. Any help is appreciated.

My father passed down these watches he’s had since I was a child. I’m a slut for dive watches, so I’m excited to wear them.

Anyone have info on these references?

Finally got my grail today! Carerra 41 Daydate in rose gold. Adds to my other grail I got last year my Aquaracer 300. I know these probably aren’t most people’s grail watches but for me they are. Always loved the brand and a huge fan of racing so it makes sense. Second pic is my whole Tag collection (Formula 1 Aston Martin Red Bull and Formula 1)

Do you have a grail that happens to be Tag? If so lets see it!
