Tag Heuer.........

Yeah same sentiments generally. But say an Aquaracer chrono auto goes for $2700 new, what alternative chrono auto would be considered "better"?

i still wear my 6000 series... Last serviced in 2004. Honestly speaking, since i have my own income, i never looked at a Tag no more... Just dun feel its worth the $$... I rather spend on a brand tat has a bigger reputation in watch making and create their movements... Sorry if my statement offends anybody...

I have to admit that Tag do create good looking watches though..

Well....I agree...spend it on something better

Thanks, any comments on the cosc kirium? Think I shall buy a Monza also if I do see one then, like the watch. I bought 3 Tags (1x F1, 2x 2000 series) 10 years back, and have been trying to get over my prejudice on this brand ever since. Played with some friends' Aquaracer and Carrera past few days and thought pretty well of them

yes the 2 lines are discontinued because Tag wants to consolidate their watches to reduce R&D costs...the more lines you've...the more $ you need to do R&D to make each line unique and yet attractive to different target audience.

Have not heard that Kirium will be discontinued but i won't be surprised...with all the new calibres....Tag is looking at a different positioning now...

cheers

I think the kirium is discontinued liao la...didnt see it at ADs.

Ok, from this thread, seems like Autavia and Monza lines are discontinued?

I believe Monza's are COSC right? They come with the cert though the dial does not have the chronometer wording...

Another question: is Kirium discontinued also?

i was once @ their age, till today i still have my 2 formula 1 tag which i just sent in for overhaul. i have kept most if not all my watches to look back and say i have been there, done that.

and yes, today i wont even consider a tag because for that price to pay, one can certainly get a better movement watch with better built watch case. this is because we have grown older and the want has differed and our opinions have changed.

someone would say a patek is better investment than a rolex. or a lange is better than rolex. honestly speaking, rolex is also one of those overpriced watch like panerai.

and i agree with you, i buy a watch is because i like it. in the past, i bought rolex because i know over time, it is one of the watches that will not lose too much money. and now i want to buy watches because of its complications.

my liking for watches through the years have changed.

guess...that old line hav to be used again

TO EACH HIS OWN....

Well said..

A guy from the group suggested to the girls why not look at Tag instead. Lo and behold, the young gal commented, "Hello, Tag Heuer is for kids. We are looking at watches for investment"

I look at this line I heart broken lor

Those ah sia kias are dumb la....Rolex is a better "investment" than a Omega.

Although I know I shouldnt say the word investment,because as a true watch lover we dun buy watches for investment sake.

Funnily enough, I was at DFS at Orchard looking at watches. A group of teens, around 19, 20 years old was looking at omega watches. A guy from the group suggested to the girls why not look at Tag instead. Lo and behold, the young gal commented, "Hello, Tag Heuer is for kids. We are looking at watches for investment"

I myself own a Tag....and well I am ard there age...lol

think more like Tag management feel that they cannot command such a price for their watch against their competitiors..they will just price themselve off the market...

this watch was launched 2 yrs ago....

i won't pay more than $2800 for this...and i mean brand new. If it's pre-owned -$2400..

cheers

Correct. The watch was indeed launched quite some time ago (2 or 3 years).

Tag Heuer decided to discontinued the autavia together with the monza although no reason was given (probably because sales not doing well )

The official retail price for the autavia is $4,500. With the standard 20% discount, it will be around $3,600. This price is probably a bit expensive for a Tag.

so what should be the market price for this tag? i thou it is quite rare to see this model......in fact, this is the first time i come across it. 43.5mm dia somemore, quite huge for a tag....even the latest grand carrera from tag, the biggest is only 43mm.

Yup, that's the one. Gave a call to jwwatch just now. They are selling it at S$3,156 (including GST). Think it is expensive as the watch is Jan 2007
