I was told 60 for the Gulf, I assumed a similar number for the other one too. Not sure I believe either number, it probably means a smaller number coming with the initial US allocation, then more batches coming later.

We've seen this pattern before; they don't seem to flood stores with all 9XX at launch. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for the entire allocation to be completely sold out.
Maybe the unsold global stock lands in the UK, or maybe everyone here is so broke they have stopped spending on affordable luxury, but I just checked the website and both the Miami F1 and the Seafarer are still available to order. Seafarer coming soon to an outlet near Rob?

It's probably not evident from pictures, but I believe the silver portion of the new one's dial is an added layer. Making the black circular center portion appear sunken. This added dimension adds to the allure of the watch when seen in person. It's really quite striking IMHO.
Oh right, yes I see what you mean.

Unbelievable that they can’t be label them properly on a 10k watch. Presumably they are etching the backs at the factory in China that machines the cases?

I really like the look of this one, but it would be tough to justify at 6k, let alone 10k.
Is it really £10k? That CAW211Y was £5250 five years ago...

I'm in the same boat. If this were 7K I would be picking mine up tomorrow. 10K?!?!? Man, I dunno.
Or you could wait a few months and pick one up preowned for like £8k

Nice! Totally affordable for a sellita based grade 2 titanium watch without finishing 😂

The gulf is sexy as fokk though, lets hope it will take TAG a long long long time to sell them which will help secondary prices plummet and fans be able to buy it at the price it should be 👌🏻

White Gulf looks quite nice but I'm not at all sure about that strap.

So not £10k....
Ahh I was thinking of the dollar price and failing to convert. Although I feel the same way about a £8.6k Monaco as I feel about a £10k Monaco. Seems bold given how long stock is hanging around for.

I like the race suit fabric concept. Is it actually nomex or just white fabric? Am I good to wear one in my race car without worrying about my watch strap catching fire?

Lovely models, not worth it price. I'll wait for a pre-owned £5k Gulf to be available in a couple of years ... Ok 3 years!!!

I mean £8500 is better than £10,000 for sure... but it's still OTT for what it actually is.

I notice the Dark Lord has only gone up £200 in the last two years... I guess it aint exactly flying off the shelf

Plus you can get them pre owned for £5k...
5k is closer to the price I might be prepared to pay.

It’s not just TH that are having used value problems. The ceramic Planet Ocean 600m is now £11.5k new, £6k on watchfinder.

Wow. More than ever it makes sense to buy pre-owned I guess

It just makes me wonder who is buying these watches and then selling to WF at a 50% loss after a year? That Carrera panda is still on there at £4300 or something... it's on the bracelet so it can't be more than a few months old.

Could it be like the grey market? Dealers moving inventory because it costs too much to have these expensive pieces collecting dust in the cabinets?

Possibly, but that one in particular seems too new to be dumped already
