Wow, I had no idea the preowned Rolex market was priced so low for the smaller watches. How old would those be? Are you talking 1960's and 70's, or more modern watches? I may need to look into them a bit closer. This forum is terrible for my wallet!

Great looking watches guys! Robbie, was the Exclusive released after the general 2000 series was discontinued? I don't know my TAG timeline that well, but I believe there were 3 versions of the 2000 before it became the Aquaracer... The "2000", the "2000 Classic" and the "2000 Exclusive". Tomhorn - great watch! I love the blue face. Mine has the silver face, but the blue is really striking. I have a smaller (7") wrist, so I've never been a fan of huge watches. I'm warming up to them slowly though, and might venture into bigger territory for my next purchase. Speaking of watch size, I know the 2000 series (and maybe all TAGs from a while ago) came in 3 sizes. Men's, Women's, and a 3rd in-between size (which may have been called "Boy's"? The mid-sized watch seems like something not many people would be interested in these days.

Thanks By-Tor. And thanks for all your very informative posts and reviews, they have been really helpful to read. I'm torn in general when it comes to reps... Due to limited funds there is no way I'll be able to buy genuine models of all the watches I want. Reps seem like a nice way to experience the watch without the huge cash outlay. At the same time, there is the obvious "official" feeling that only comes from a genuine watch. Ethically, I feel that if you're buying a rep to appreciate a watch you can't afford, it's good. If you're buying it to show off, and somehow pretend that you can afford a Rolex or the like, then it's not permissible! I'll post pictures of the 2000 when I get it. Are there any good 2000 auto reps out there? I'm certain that the one I'm buying is authentic, but I'd be interested to see what the rep market has to offer for the same watch. Bob

Hi everyone, I just pulled the trigger on a gen. Tag 2000 series automatic that I found on eBay. I managed to get it for $350 US, which is a great deal for an automatic TAG. It's a few years old, but the 2000 series has always been my favorite TAG. Prior to buying this watch, I was strongly considering a rep, so I wanted to throw it out there and remind people that it's definitely possible to score a good deal on a non-rep. Especially when it comes to TAGs, as they're not ultra expensive. (When it comes to Panerai or Bell & Ross, there's no way I'm going to be buying a genuine edition any time soon... and one of those may be my next rep purchase.) Anyway, enjoy your watches!
