Welcome, a very cool watch with relatively a decent price tag, and yes it's a Tag Heuer

I love the look of it too. Never really owned a tag and was a bit hesitant with the cost and potential resale later on.

If residual value is a primary concern, then either forget about TAG Heuer altogether or make sure you buy it at no less than 30% discount off the RRP or even less as pre-owned.
If looks are of more importance than the cost of ownership (just like a car or other depreciating asset), then go with your gut instinct.

Appears totally illegible. That's a non-starter for me.

Thanks, I am hoping to get a good discount. What else is there that is similar.

It is hard, but you get used to it. I want an oversized watch and with a rubber strap.

Biver said its the extraordinary achievement to make such a watch under $5K (Gray sellers have it around $4K). It is basically affordable version of Hublot Big Bang!!

I love the version 1 of it with red markers!

While not my personal taste (size, skeleton) I think its an awesome chrono for the money. If you like it go for it.

I can appreciate the technology, but for me it's like looking down into an old coffee can full of watch parts.......not enough contrast there.
