Fun way to kill a few hours 👍
I agree about Nomos. I always like the pictures but on the wrist they don’t speak to me.
40mm AR looking good. Montredo now have them at 1900 euro.
36mm oysters look good don’t they. Size on paper doesn’t tell you much. A 41mm oyster looks huge. I tried on a 40mm Breguet the other day that looked like a 43mm.

Montredo now have the blue 40mm at £1352 (+20% UK import = £1622) crazily good price

Do we trust Montredo? They have the orange F1 at a ridiculous price...

Never used them, but believe legit. In fairness you have to add on 20% import VAT to the UK, and that price seems to be in line with other sellers on Chrono24.

Toying of the that F1 for my father in law (raised it with his daughters) as he's always wanted an orange faced Tag

As long as the fake is as well made as the legit deal you should be ok

Yes Montredo is trustworthy. I see 1901 euro for that watch though…

I bought my WAY211A and my quartz nightdiver from them, nightdiver took a while to turn up, but both arrived and I’m fairly confident they are genuine because TH warrantied the WAY211A. Saved about £500 on each vs buying in UK.

Does that F1 include the gold wallpaper tax?

Aquagraph · May 10, 2022

It's £755 now, with no additional VAT.... 😲

McBeardy · May 10, 2022

Do you not get VAT or 20% added once in the UK. By customs? Or have I got that wrong?

dtf · May 10, 2022

I’m fairly sure uk customs will add 20%, but still very cheap.

They also have the ladies mother of pearl dial AR that mrs dtf wears, for a lot less than I paid for it! https://www.montredo.com/watches/tag-heuer/aquaracer/way131s-ba0748/12596/

Annoying, that.... I paid £1200 for the orange F1. But then I guess Montredo don't send it in that big stupid box that I don't know what to do with.

Oh wow, opening that really is a boutique experience! I like the little leather travel case

Thanks! I negotiated a nice discount, so I couldn't pass on it.

Yago · May 16, 2022

Cool Hubert, congratulations! Also like that one in gold.
Did you also get the flatlink or already in your collection?

Thanks @Yago!

I got it on the strap, as they didn't have the black one in the steel bracelet. Besides, I tend to have all my Omegas on NATOs, so the bracelet would have been removed and put in storage anyways.

The bronze/rose-gold was cool and so was the blue, but I after months of deliberation, I concluded that I wanted the black one in steel.

The idea is to use this one more regularly, in order to keep my Spectre in the best condition possible.
