😲 Wow, I'm really surprised it sold out this quickly given its insane price! 🤨
Clearly there is room for TAG Heuer to increase their prices, some models are obviously still way too cheap

Perhaps. But did it sell out quickly because it's a TAG Heuer or a Bamford or a Rowing Blazers?

- The Ikuzawa x Bamford x Carrera sold out quickly. But that was an official TAG Heuer watch with lots of promotion. Its price was also reasonable ($6300 USD) and Tetsu Ikuzawa is a motorsport legend in his home country.
- OTOH, the similarly reasonably priced WoS x Carrera ($6,450 USD on bracelet) took a very long time to sell out. But this watch had zero promotion.
- Last year's Bamford x Ruf x Carrera was $7,750 USD and it also took a while to sell out.
- So is it the Rowing Blazers name or just the colorful yachting look that made this one a hot seller at $8,900 USD?

I wonder how many were bought from buyers outside the US, at a price tag of around $11k USD? Which is almost double the retail price of your basic TAG Heuer Carrera Elegant. Go figure? 😵‍💫

George was wearing what appeared to be a near production version of the Rowing Blazers at Dubai Watch Week. The workmanship on the dial looks better compared to the earlier proto.

George's favorite TAG release of the year. He's clearly biased. 🙄 But so am I. 😁

The Team Ikuzawa and Rowing Blazers have some pretty insane $19K asking prices on the aftermarket. 😲

Crazy indeed, especially for the Rowing Blazers one which look like a child drew it.

Then maybe one shouldn’t spend 19-20k to acquire it 😉

A custom Bamford Cal 17 Monza spotted on the Bamford IG page today. Seems like a Carbon case.

Does look overly shiny for carbon, I must admit.

Compared to the normal finishing. Hadn’t seen this view of the Flyback before. Very cool.

The blue one is a nod to the 25 piece release that Bamford made in 2018.

But honestly, dropping that kind of money on modding an already perfect piece (40th anniversary Monza) is quite insane.

Another Bamford Monaco. Really cool ribbed dial and airbrushed sub dials. The Heuer logo on an H02 Monaco seems a bit blasphemous though.

Perfect legibility with that minute and hour hand
