Hol Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I am looking to buy a Tag Heuer for my partner as a surprise gift but don't know where to start, I don't want to spend anymore than £1300 so it's probably going to need to be from the F1 or Aquaracer range. Which ones would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 1300pound would be close to $2200USD, for that you should be able to do okay, maybe gray market or used would be an option too. Personally, I would avoid that F1 for a man's watch, the ladies F1 are nice but the men's tend to look a little adolescent/cheap. For around $2000 you can pick up an Aquaracer 500m, definitely a 300m for that price and those are the Automatic models. Automatic is definitely the route I would go but there are some nice Quartz models in the Aquaracer line too. This is my Aquaracer 500m with the ceramic bezel - in my opinion, this is the pinnacle of the Aquaracer line including past models, the design is conservative yet unique enough to set it apart from other premium divers. This is the 300m model, you will save a couple hundred dollars with something like this and it's also a very nice watch. If you want to move into the Carrera range you will be pushing the price up a little bit but you should still be able to pick up a base model in your price range. The Cal. 5 Carrera (same movement as the Aquaracers above) should run right around/above the $2000 mark but the Carrera sits a little higher within the TAG Heuer collection. Carrera Cal. 5 If you can swing a couple hundred extra dollars, The Cal. 8 GMT is a stunner and a little bit of a special watch Another option is a Cal. 5 Link model, this too should be attainable, well within $2000, also a much nicer and more classic design than anything from the F1 line. I hope this helps you in making a decision. If you have any more questions or if you were looking for something different all together, let me know and I'll take another quick look. Good luck.

Hol Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thank you so much for your help! I will have a look though those designs, it was the Aquaracer 300m I had originally looked at. I will let you know if I have any further questions! Thanks again, really appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
