路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?

路how much do these watches go pre owned around the world? bearing in mind a total 500 have been made.
i understand its only been out 1 year, but the 2012 80th anniversary Carrera which 3000 were made off seems to still go for around 拢4k.
i am completely new to watches so sorry for the silly questions.

路In the UK, you're looking at depreciation of around 25-35% from new. As you saw in the Marketplace thread.
The JH80 is an example of picking the right model.

Is the JH80 blue dial the an example of picking the right model?

That's not to say the other Carreras are not beautiful/desirable pieces. They are, but you should not purchase one with abelief that it's going to rocket in value.

路There is only one JH80....and it doesn't have a blue dial. While the Carreras in this thread may be very similar, they do not have the heritage or significance that the JH80 has.

Absolutely I hear you Big Adam, like mentioned previously all watches would depreciate like anything in life, I guess in a watch you want one which would not depreciate so heavily when buying such an expensive piece. Hence I assume anything limited edition would not depreciate as heavily. Correct?

No, if only life were that simple. Every so often, there will be a watch which hits all the right buttons and re-sale values buck the general trend. You might, logically, think that limited editions fall into this category more often but the reality is somewhat different. If we could predict which watches did, we'd be hoovering them all up and selling for a profit.
The reality is that 99.9% of new watches lose significant value irrespective of condition. Buying a new watch every six months is a sure fire way to lose money. If you don't want to lose money, and possibly even make a little profit, then you need to carefully work within the secondhand market.

路I got caught out on my JH80th. Bought retail (discounted from RRP of 拢3500ish to 拢3100), and then when I sold it a year or so later had to take a hit - went for about 拢2600 iirc. Now I think it's hard to find used ones advertised for less than 拢3000 (Watchfinder seem to be asking 拢3750 for one!) and they definitely sell for a premium over the other similar Cal 17s, despite the fact they're chronometers and the JH80 isn't.

路Another question: everywhere i have read to check whether a Tag is authentic it says the serial number would consist of 2 letters and 4 numbers, with some exceptions of 3 letters with 3 numbers or 6 numbers)
however mine has 3 letters and 4 numbers. it was purchased from an Tag authorised retailer.
can anyone advise?

路Maybe this will help: http://forums.calibre11.com/threads/tag-heuer-model-codes.18513/
Thanks but that link seems to be more about the model reference numbers rather than the Serial Number.
My understanding is the model number is eg: CV211A
And the serial number would be letters digits after that, mostly being 2 letters and then 4 number or 3 letters with 3 or 6 numbers, correct me if I am mistaken.
My serial number seems to have 3 letters and then 4 numbers. Eg ABC1234, And this was purchased from an authorised retailer.
Can anyone help with this.

The full reference is CV211A.FC6335. CV211A is the watch head and FC6335 tells you the type of strap or bracelet- in this case, its the reference of the black leather strap.

路The full list of strap/ bracelet codes for current models is here:
http://forums.calibre11.com/threads/tag-heuer-model-codes.18513/page-2#post-539857
note that you won't see the bracelet or strap code anywhere on your watch. The only two numbers on your watch are:
1. The reference number (e.g. CV211A)
2. Your unique serial number

It doesn't mention anything about serial numbers starting with RZH? There is only two numbers on the watch
1) Reference number
2) and the RZH numbers
