TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph

[YorkshireDave]

I really do love the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph but there is no way I'm spending that sort of money on a genuine article. Any thoughts as to when our friends will be producing a replica? I suspect replicas won't have the solar powered mechanism but even a good standard quartz version will be worth having.

Don’t hold your breath.

could you provide a picture of model you are looking for?

 

[YorkshireDave]

Hopefully this is the correct image of the watch.

 

[roib20]

I don’t recall having seen it, sorry

GEN prices are silly but the original ones were REPped back in the day, so I'd hope the factories do something...

 

[Reaps]

Considering we don't even have rep of the normal ones that are being made currently in 2025, it's very hard to say whether or not we will get one for the future. Like ahero said, don't hold your breath.

There may not be any profit margin for factories to rep this watch well

I've been in a Tag store this weekend checking the GEN and it looks very nice, bigger than I thought, and with a cool creamy dial in it.
If they rep this models I'm buying a couple for sure, the GEN prices are bonkers

 

[YorkshireDave]

How long does it take for a replica to appear after a GEN is released?

 

[aHero]

10 days. 10 years. there is no answer. it depends on the hype, demand, ROI, etc

As a huge TAG (and old Heuer) fan, I can vouch for the fact that the GEN is like 20x nicer in person than one would expect. Agree with @Singapore9 comment that they are WAY overpriced. Here in Canada, the model above is $2,350 and even the all-plastic model is only $100 less. That's double what a realistic price would have been for these.

Agree. I've had a look at a few and it really is a lovely watch. Apparently they are releasing different coloured versions throughout the year to coincide with various F1 Grand Prix.

I hope Tag extend the range to a 3 register Chrono design, like the good old days!
