    Those are drop dead 90’s - or was it 80’s? - classics. Probably a grand each now though?!?

    Those are great!
    1500 dollars is a bit eye-watering though.

    Those new Tag F1's do look good. Let's hope now that they've gone to the effort of reproducing them for the collaboration, they decide to broaden out the range to non-LE. I'd be excited to see some more slightly muted colours and a bit of a reduction in price too.

    ...and once-again Seiko cheaps-out on the bezel insert! A slimmer bezel/wider dial would have been good too. Otherwise some good features, and I like the grey/gold colourway - £1,500 though!

    I'm not sure why anyone would buy the tag for that much when an original is available for a fraction of the cost.

    I've owned a few, they're great watches but over a grand? Nah.

    Frankly, I’d rather have the swatch fifty fathoms and keep a grand in my pocket

    It looks as if Sinn have released an updated 903
    The crown at 10:30 looks to have been removed
    The dial now has 3D lume plots and new dial colours.

    I like them!

    The light blue limited for me seems to be too light!

    Want to see one in flesh

    Tourby watches also have some of the best customer service out there.

    For interesting cases (Damascus and others) you could always try H2O/Helberg watches and save yourself about 8 and a half grand.

    I bought the plastic cased originals for £99 and the steel for £199. They were Seiko diver equivalent priced at the time and TAG was actually more of an aspirational brand then than now imho. Another example of the now ludicrous price of watches!

    Cheap out as in it's not ceramic?

    Yep, pet hate. Bezels are the part of a watch likeliest to get damaged, yet a number of brands insist on using fragile materials for inserts like anodized or laquered aluminium, not least Seiko* - yet cheap-as-chips Chinese microbrands can be readily obtained with ceramic bezel inserts.




    *I know they use it on a few models.

    Yeah it’s quite annoying that Seiko seem to charge through the nose for features other brands offer at often half the price point. The whole hardlex/sapphire thing bothers me.
