Congrats @Nilbri do you have any photos to share?

I'll post a quick review in the next few days

The new watch uses the Calibre 17 movement, which traditionally has been the ETA 2894-2. This movement has long featured in TAG Heuers, so much so that we’ve written an entire post on the history of the Calibre 17. Given that the movement is a modular chronograph based on the ETA 2892, it’s possible that today’s Calibre 17 is built from the Sellita equivalent module, the SW300. We’ll try and find out which version sits inside the newest Carrera.

Look closely at the four dials of the Jack Heuer 80 family and you’ll notice that the two 2013 models are Chronometers, meaning that use COSC-certified movements. The 2015 model uses the same standard grade movement as the original Jack Heuer 80.

I presume the numbering is based on the mechanism, right?

Hi, i am new to this forum and new to TAG Heuer Watches, I have purchased the limited edition Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 17 watch. like Nilbri mine says a number out of 500. it is the CV211A, the watch looks amazing. Can someone advise what TAG Heuer's are like for keeping their value?

Mine is CV211A 494/500

Do these watches hold value?
Compared to retail? No.
Once secondhand? Yes, you'll take a hit on the new cost initially, then they tend to plateau. Mint examples may eventually recover some value. Condition is king.

If you are planning to make a ROI on it, keep it in its box and store it away.
It will not depreciate as much, unless you open it 25 years later.

Wear it, enjoy it, and most importantly take good care of it.

Thank you for the posts, much appreciated. The 500 that have been made of this watch is that worldwide? Or in the UK only? Can anyone advise?
