I visited today the official TAG Heuer Boutique at “La Roca Village” outlet center close to Barcelona (from the Bicester company)... and they had the Monza Calibre 17 for the first time in a long time... at a very tempting price... and it’s so nice... 🥰
Can you imagine why this showcase is now empty? 🤦

We have a vivid imagination, but more pictures would really paint a picture! 👍

😁 I arrived late at home and took some pictures, but didn’t have time to post them!

The Monza Calibre 17 was in my wishlist (together with the Autavia Heuer 02 and the Monaco Calibre 11 Gulf) since a long time, and I miss it in the current heritage range of TAG Heuer... so when yesterday I found this brand new Monza in that outlet TAG Heuer boutique (La Roca Village, Barcelona), at a good price, I had to buy it! 😀
The Monza is also very linked to Niki Lauda, so 2019 was the year to buy it... 🙄

It’s number 3357 of... (I don’t know how many pces. Anyone?)

I also love the leather strap: very beatiful, very comfortable, and with nice details

The black titanium buckle is very similar to the Connected Modular 45 black titanium buckles, but with the classic Heuer logo here

Also interesting the diptic that comes inside the box

The box is also nice, and the kind staff of the TAG Heuer boutique gave me a nice travel box as a gift

I just love it! 🥰

Spotted a 1163 Siffert on Watchfinder for £4500 that was listed as an Autavia 1163T without any mention of Siffert. Refurbished movement and case with Heuer blue box. So I inquired about the serial and reference numbers on the case, which was provided instantly. But within 10 minutes the watch was sold. I was worried about the refurbishing of the lugs, the angle seems a bit off but I probably missed out on a deal.

Nice one.

I visited Watchfinder in Bluewater yesterday. They had a blue Tudor Submariner on sale for £7500! They offered me £2500 trade-in for mine a few months back (didn't take it obviously).

Probably. I did sell it privately a short while back. Doubled in value during the time I had it. Probably should have kept hold of it as it's gone up even more lately. Beautiful watch but didn't quite sit perfectly on my wrist and bracelet couldn't be sized exactly how I wanted it. Best thing about it were the beautifully creamy lume hour plots.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Watchfinder is done for since Richemont bought them. All their prices have gone through the roof.

Turns out the watch is cased in a 1163v case (information from a collector in the know). I originally asked the guy at Watchfinder about ref and serials engravings. To which he replied:

’At the time of writing the Tag is still available – the 1163 number is the model number, the serial starts 339 –’

What a scammer!
