Fell in love with 2nd Generation Formula One Chronographs many years ago, the CA1210,1,2,3,4&5. I had one in every colour all had the tri-colour 6 o clock sub-dial and all in mint condition. Some I paid an arm and a leg for too. In 2021 i developed cancer and after a 2 year battle I am very fortunate, lucky and grateful for it to now be in remission. However due to being unable to work I had to sell some of my watches to make ends meet and my collection is now depleted but i have a strong desire to restore it fully. Only problem is I am struggling to find any at an affordable price. I just managed to secure the blue CA1210 at £625 which is about £50 over my budget but for the sake of £50 I had to have it and I find myself a step closer. I now need CA1212 white the CA1213 in yellow and tge CA1214 in Orange. If anyone has one or some of these for sale or knows of someone who has, or just knows where I might get some luck please let me know. I’ve mentioned those which I ‘need’ but for the purpose of spare parts I am interested in the other colours too. Photos are of those I managed to keep

Im not sure who or what im replying to! I am so inept around anything electronically powered. So please forgive me Hubert if i reply to “thinziliketoo” when meant for you and please forgive me “thingziliketoo” if i reply to you when mesnt for Hubert but i cannot work out where to begin my message to ensure it reaches the intended recipient. However i wanted to also acknowledge and thank thingzilike for your message my friend, and good luck to you with your remission too. Godbless you man. 🙏👍

Hi again ‘amckeeuk’ if selling can you take and upload a couple of pics please and does it have its box and any of the original booklets and sales paperwork? Again if yes can you take a pic of everything together please? This just allows me to get an idea of exactly what you are selling and us helpful for negotiating an agreeable price. John

John, it's on eBay at the moment with my other two Tag watches, am in two minds but if I get the price probably will sell. Have gone to the dark side and use a smart watch so all 3 of my watches are in cases and haven't been worn for years. The CA1214 I bought in the late 90s new from Lunns Belfast, unfortunately I did wear it in those early years and the strap wore out, the round Tag box perished and I threw away paperwork as I never thought I would ever sell it and being quartz thought it was worthless, checked eBay and found out otherwise! Last week it got a new Renata battery and all looks good, although waterproofing was not checked.

What is your username on Ebay bro? Theres likely to be more than just the one on there so to avoid confusion would be helpful..
