my eyes hurt too on the first 10 mins but the story is nice

$1,300-$1,500

I sold the originals in the late 80’s for around $400 a pop.

I think it's pretty cool. Love the 35mm size. Just have to hope it will get repped right, I'm excited to see if it wil.

TAG could had had their Moonswatch moment but...

$1,300-$1,500

I sold the originals in the late 80’s for around $400 a pop.

These would be on display at Costco for $300 or so back then. Never much of a watch.

$1,300-$1,500

Could buy the F1's with the plastic bracelet in the 80's for $175 CDN $225 stainless and the 1000 series started at just over $325....

I would have it as a beach watch but not sure who the market is for them

Kith x tag heuer limited edition?! This is literally 80s tag heuer formula 1 watches. This kith dude probably found an old playboy magazine in his closet and stumbled on an old tag heuer ad and said to himself "yeah baby, kith colab".

To be fair they did position this more as a relaunch of a classic (using the old supplier for case manufacturing) and Fieg as promo given its the piece that ignited his collecting. I do think the case size and design make for perfect summer casual watches.

That said, price is an absolute rip off designed for hype beasts. Hard not to miss the irony in Fieg’s story that the Formula 1 was an affordable way into watches yet because of Kith branding they’re asking $1,500+ for a plastic case (and strap now) and quartz movement

I have a bunch of those 80s pieces without working movements. I should now replace the movements and get’em working and cash them.

Hideous. Would rather have one of those Breitlings instead...

Looks like most of the eBay sellers have put their prices up this week, was gona try and pick up a cheap 35mm one- I think those originals are great summer watches

Weirdly love the metal options, but not 1500 love it.. Would by a rep, like I did with moonswatch dhgate.

 

[Oeilvert]

Can't believe these never got repped... Surely would have sold like hot cakes.

Remeber that replicas are majority for Chinese people. Tag is not popular there. This Tag is a by product of the 80s-90s Western pop culture. So not that shocking.

Fair point. Tag are replacing Rolex as offical F1 timekeepers next year and F1 has increased popularity in China recently with their Shanghai GP and Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu... Perhaps more good quality Tag reps will happen at some point, fingers crossed.

Need reps so i can get the bezel and bracelet for my gen. Original parts are a fortune.
