Flynnyfalcon Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Thanks! At the risk of stating the obvious, it could be yours...! R I recently bought an IWC Mk XVII, so my quota is done for a while. Yours definitely appeals though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren69 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Amazing how those crystal/quartz faces don't scratch. A beautiful watch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catto Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Amazing how those crystal/quartz faces don't scratch. A beautiful watch! I managed to take a decent chunk out of a first-generation Tag Heuer F1 crystal, years ago. Not sure how, but I did! R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren69 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) I don't know how either, maybe deflected an air-to-air missile? Went to tech in the Albion St Annexe back in the mid to late 80's in Surrey Hills, was a bit different back then! Edit, I am describing a TAFE campus, sorry, haha.

Catto Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 that carrera is a beautiful watch indeed. Thanks - I do like it a lot still, I'm just not wearing it as much as it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catto Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Just FYI, I would consider (reasonable!) offers on either of these as well. I'd rather they go to a good home than have to fight the Gumtree battle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catto Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 I've just reduced the prices of both of these a little, perhaps they'll tempt someone...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catto Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just an update on this (since someone asked in a private message) - the F1 Chrono sold, but the Carrera is still available currently. I daresay I'll regret selling it, it's a beautiful watch, but I have my eye on something else at the moment...! Also, the Carrera has just recently had a full service / overhaul by a top watchmaker here in Sydney, so it's running in tip-top form at present. That being the case I think $1800 is a very fair price for it! I have all the original packaging with it, as well as the original strap and another rally-style perforated one (used) like the one currently on it. All the straps are from Tag Heuer, not aftermarket. Here's a more recent photo, too - I was playing around with some new lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
