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?

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?
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.
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.
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?
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?

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.
The full list of strap/ bracelet codes for current models is here:

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
I get the feeling pics would REALLY help here.
