·BUT...the blue stripe on that one seem to be too dark and not very Gulf. Is it a final version you had for review or perhaps a prototype?
The shade of blue on your photo is not even close to the one on Tag website.
And the official answer is...
...the light blue shown on the social media shots is the final design
Yeah sure, but there are also a lot of advantages with quartz.
A lot of people think that quartz should be cheap but in reality, is it really that much more expensive for Tag to purchase a basic mass produced Sellita sw200 automatic movement? Is it not that automatic versions should be cheaper?
My guess is no, they dont pay that much for the automatic movement either, just that Swiss marketing has made people believe that mechanical = premium. Is it really more premium with a basic massproduced cheap automatic movement?
And with that said, I love the pictures and colors they have published on the site 👍😀

Hubert, you're slow to the draw on this one. Must be too busy ordering that new Monaco Gulf 50th Anniversary first win LE. LOL. Pre-order of the Gulf F1 was already mentioned on page 1. 😉
I'm really looking forward to seeing one in person.
TAG Heuer Boutique in Las Vegas emailed me that they have this watch now in stock. Shouldn't be too long before these watches are more readily available.
