Join me in my excitement.
« on: July 01, 2010, 09:02:43 PM »
I have just pulled the trigger on something I have wanted for possibly 12+ years, an oldie Tag F1. :nanadance:

A friend of mine had one of these when I was younger and I have lusted after one and gone to get one many many times in the past, but have always bottled it as it isn't the cheapest of watches.  This one is used though and was pretty cheap so only a little guilt this time, but do keep an eye out for a Benner's stuff sale coming up soon.  :tu:
I'm back!!

I know the drill.  :D

FYI it's a stainless steel strap, black bezel and white dial. Bezel a bit worn (as most are) but considering what it will suffer at work that is no concern.  The bezels are also replaceable anyway.
I'm back!!

Tag has always been the watch brand to me.  I just hope it cures my Seiko Monster lust as well  :D.

Good luck with that.  I bought an Orange Monster for a good deal, even though I wanted the black one.  Once it arrived and I got it on a better band I was hooked on the Orange.  I have had several people offer to trade me black ones for my orange, and it's still here!

I'd consider trading for a yellow one to match my Jeep though... :D

I had an oppurtunity to get an F1 and kick myself daily for not getting it.  Now the Monster is the perfect watch for me, and I just can't get on with this damn rubber wriststrap.  I need a metal one, anyone have one...I'll gladly trade you for it.

Sorry Zack- I have an original rubber one.  I've never got on with bracelets, and I prefer leather.  I have a nice wide band one that I wear with it.

This will be my first SS as I have only ever had rubber leather or nato straps so it will be an interesting test.  The OM is gorgeous  :drool: but at the price over here I'm hoping I can convince myself I dont need one.  :D

You aren't helping.  :twak: :D

Watches have always been a soft spot of mine, even when I was really young.  Not really sure why, but I saved up my pocket money many times to buy a watch from Argos.  :D
