Welcome! The vintage F1's are great watches, congrats on yours! They are definitely becoming more expensive and popular. I'm currently working on restoring my WA1211 (371.513)

Hi all! I just bougt my first TAG Heuer Formula 1 383.513/1 and i really like the old catalog and adverts for this range of watches.
I would like to buy one in good condition or have one printed after a good scan but no luck in other places so i came here. If some of you guys would like to help a young fan, i would apreciate it!
Thanks a lot!

Congrats on your OG Formula 1, you can download a copy of the 1986 Formula 1 catalog here (with the same cover photo):

As for adverts, are you looking for that specific picture you posted?

I have seen others, but almost always in magazines or certain books.

Thanks, i've just now seen that you guy have all the catalogues pinned on the main page of the forum. Looking through it i saw my model would have costed 79£ (270£ today). I would relly like to see TAG re-release these models at the 250~270£ price, i think i would buy one!

As for the advert, yes, i would like that specific one. I know it might be from a magazine but i would like to get a hold of one so i can scan it at a higher quality or buy a high quality scan of it so i can make it a poster on my wall😀)

I remember the this photo of Senna in his car with his S/el S25.706C and a mechanic (i think?) with his early Formula 1 Chronograph, what a beauty!

Good luck in finding that advert picture. If I come across a higher res scan, I'll certainly let you know.

Are there are any pictures of Senna wearing a F1? My father gave me his 1991 S/EL S35.405 Chrono and that started this horrible disease of watch collecting we all have. My F1 is currently running again, awaiting a new bezel & click spring. Parts are expensive and hard to find for the vintage F1s unfortunately.

I usually come across these two more often.

Happy to see that you revived it! Beautiful piece!

Thank you! I’ve owned a bunch of these old F1s and unfortunately sold them all. This one is a keeper, can’t wait to get the new bezel & click spring. I love seeing all these vintage F1 ads! I don’t recall seeing any ads with the lume dial like mine.

Neagu

Hope you fix it up good and wear it like it shoul be worn! I have bought a 1990 original catalog with price list

In here i saw (i think) all the vintage Formual 1 refrences, sadly it's not as nice as the Formula 1 booklet/catalog but it's very nice. Bought it for 45€
Here is your WA1211 / 371.513

He has more booklets and brochures, so if you something like that, check him out!

I found a guy that has a "Shop Only Catalog". It's a beauty, to say the least!
It has all the vintage Formula 1 (Strap and Bracelet)...

Very cool! I'd love to have that catalog. 🥰
