Wow, that does look great. Still don’t understand why the dial is described as beige.

 

With this one at least you can see the tachy tension ring

 

Sharing what I believe to be a limited edition, late 90's S/EL, model WG1117-K0. I've seen several that are numbered (xxxx of 1500), as this one is. I also believe I've seen some with the same model number but an actual serial number, like other S/EL's. None of the numbered units have a second serial number. So, not sure if it started as a limited edition but then was converted into a production model or something else. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can shed some light here. I've seen several available in Japan and this one is from Japan, maybe a Japan-only release?

Indoors the dial looks almost matte black, outdoors the dial pops!

Uniques for the WG117 as compared to the WG111A, which is the other blue dial quartz S/EL:
-> navy blue dial (vs. medium blue)
-> cream colored hour markers, date outline, and text (vs. white)
-> black chrome indices (vs. chrome)
-> monochrome white Tag Heuer insignia (vs. multicolor green/red/white)
-> no chrome inner ring (vs. chrome inner ring)
-> serially numbered "No XXXX/1500" (vs. traditional serial number)

Front, back, and on the wrist shots attached!

Just came across an old Bamford post for an art deco Monaco C11

Apparently made exclusively for IG sale for £7500

 

Not sure if it has been posted before, and I don't think it's an official TAG release, but more of a jeweller special.
Just got posted in a New Zealand watch Facebook ground. Aquaracer with the NZ SAS symbol.

 

It has its own part number so I would say it is official. Nice to see photos of one in the wild. I didn't realise it was the NZ SAS I just assumed it was the UK SAS.

Ladies Kirium WL1313 Olympic dial

 

Look what someone just commissioned on Bamford. I love it, although a more salmon would have been better feedback????

 

Ran across this curious Formula 1, a 1993 "Japan Bowl" F1. Don't think even @Snowy has this one. (Or does he?)
There's one for sale on ebay herePurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network.


The Japan Bowl was a US College All Star Football post season game, played in Japan. It ran from 1976 to 1993.

 

I didn’t have this one.
I've never seen that one before.

 

2023 Aquaracer Hawaii LE (50 pieces), ref. WBP201G

Bezel is a dark blue in real life. Looks similar to the GMT model.

 

Great spot!

 

Kudos for getting the part number too!

 

Wow great find @Mspeedster that is super cool. I wonder how well those hands glow in the dark

 

Used a filter to bring out more of the blue in the bezel. This is closer to the bezel color in real life.

 

Do the yellow hands have any significance on this one?

 

This watch was released to celebrate the opening of a new TH Boutique in Honolulu on the island of Oahu.

Each island in Hawaii has an official color. Yellow is the official color of Oahu. https://www.homeyhawaii.com/blog/culture/official-colors-and-flowers-of-hawaiian-islands/

It's just my guess as to the background of why yellow is used on this watch. Blue is often associated with Hawaii (e.g. Blue Hawaii). Also, TAG just seems to have a thing for the blue & yellow combo.

 

I wondered if it had to do with Oahu (I read that same article above, @Mspeedster). Now that we know it was released to celebrate a TH Boutique in Honolulu, that makes perfect sense.

 

Does that mean you recently got to visit, @Mspeedster?
