Saw these today. Straps are cool, watches look like fashion-watch tat, honestly.

Yes, ever since I got my GRAND Carrera. Hmm, they are dreadfully tacky sh*t though. Make the brown dial Aquaracer look like a work of art.

I also saw them today, and I have to change my prefered order: from the pictures yellow was my favourite, but IRL is not… in fact yellow is now third, green is 2nd, and red is 1st.
I would not buy any of them in any case, and less with the inflated price they have

I would prefer a flat and matt yellow dial matching the strap instead of this sunburst dial

Yes, red is best, but they are all horrible. The yellow is the horriblist of the lot.

I want them to make a black strap though so I can buy one for my orange F1.

Might be popping into a boutique this evening so will see if I can take a look with my own eyes. But I would initially agree with your assessment, Rob, that red is best and yellow is peuce.

You know me, I tend to defend TAG even when they are undefendable. These are possibly the most Gucci-est watches they've ever made.

Looked at these today, and then looked away, not for me and the straps appear nasty.

You are so wrong Martin... the straps are the best part!

If I wore one for a week it wouldn’t retain that nice clean colour, and my wife would want to colour co ordinate my shirts/jerseys to the strap, also didn’t feel the watch sat comfy on my wrist.

The strap is ok, but it doesn't do much for me either. Haven't tried these, but I did try on the RedBull F1 which has the same rubber strap in blue.

I think I'd be more impressed with the strap if they had embossed the TAG Heuer shield into them, as a wink to the original.

Then again, I just can't see spending $1800 for the new ones when an original can be had for far less money.
