I'm selling one of my watches, a Tag Heuer Carrera on ebay. Bought when I was living in Switzerland in 2008.I would be willing to let go to a forum member for the reserve price of £550 if someone was interested.





The same watch has sold on ebay recently for £600-£700.

Very nice, I love Tag's my favourite watches. I have got an F1 Indy 500

Thanks Tom, I was lucky enough to get the watch that I'd always wanted from my girlfriend for my 30th and as I don't think I can pull of a "Maradona" I thought I'd sell one of my other ones:

Just what you need 2 hublots!

I prefer my sub mariner but the Tag has a certain style about it ::

Nice looking watch, very smart. Mate has a big bang but the dealer has had it longer than him its always broken running fast or slow! Zenith man here

[MattM]

Thanks all, I do like the Hublot Big Bang but it's a fair old lump to be carting round on your wrist! I had a green bezel Sub which I traded in recently (with the difference paid for by my girlfriend for my birthday) for the Daytona that I'd always wanted.

Simon, this is a real watch, not one off the beach in Torremelinos. It's not for you.

[Tuuurtle]

Good luck with the sale. Get some pics up of the Daytona. I do like watches, I love my IWC Portofino. It's good to hear there are others on here that appreciate mechanical watches

Too late, the damage is done Anyway, it confuses the proles if I alternate real and 'replica'

Ahh, I recall the National 2011 with Simon trying to grow longer sleeves when he relaised you were wearing the same watch as him - or at least a watch that looked the same

[techieboy]

I'm still not sure he gave me the real one back. It's never held it's "charge" for more than a day since.

Oh god... I wish I hadnt just Googled IWC Portofino! Thats a nice watch!!

Im getting married next year and the parents of the bride have said I can have a watch as a wedding present (theyre very happy someone is taking their daughter off their hands!!). Looking at a Rolex Explorer...

[MattM]

This is the reason I'm selling the Tag:









I'd wanted one for a while and when I was living in Switzerland I put my name down on the waiting list for one (2 years!!!!) The dealer called and said it had arrived just as I found out I was moving back the UK so decided it wasn't good time to be spending on a watch.
A few months ago my girlfriend offered to upgrade my old watch to one for my 30th birthday so now the proud owner of a Daytona.

[Tuuurtle]

Very nice Matt, always loved Daytona's, especially with a black face! Nicollow - that's an interesting choice, not many people go for the Explorer, will this be a second Rolex? I like them, different from the usual Submariner look (not that that's a bad look!).

[nicollow]

Yeah, not a fan of fussy watches and the date magnifier on the usual Rolexi reminds me of this guy:



Ive got a Tag Kirium F1 at the moment, and am possibly on the lookout for a Tag Carrera, the metal strap one Not got any other Rolexi, as (dont shoot me!) think that the vast majority are a bit naff

Ah, sorry about that - will swap back next time we meet

[ben922]

I think that every time I wear this. Its hard to tell the time with all the insides moving too
