    New Tag F1 GMT Autavia-style case

    Tried this the other day. 41mm so not a bad size but the bracelet/end links felt proper cheap. Tinny and bad fitment, not what I expected for £1595, disappointed.....




    Crown and case felt solid, dial very nice and detailing great but ultimately the bracelet killed it.

    Like Alton Towers, only the unsuspecting pay full price for a tag - that model will be up on ebay for sub £700 with box and papers before you know it.

    51mm? that's big. Besides that I don't like the hands on the watch.

    I think that's a typo; it's 41mm IIRC.

    It could be the picture but the finish on that GMT hand looks terrible.

    I think it's the photo, but having another look, I'm not keen on the batons or the font used in for the numbers either.

    I'd buy at that price....... Put it on a rally strap and bin the tincan bracelet.

    Saw that model yesterday in flesh at Selfridges. It looks awful for the price they are asking for. Seconds/GMT hands completely different to minute/hour. What is the point in such design? They clearly try to imitate Rolex to gain customers but this is simply unsuccessful release.

    Seen a photo of a members on here and was going to try and find one to try on as it looked good but may reconsider as a result of what has been said.

    Did I read the sales copy correctly - the Bezel is fixed and does not rotate?
