Topped off a good watch week with this beauty. Pawn shop find. They added 3 links for me at no extra cost. Happy to join the Senna club.
Congrats, @Anthony.!

Does anyone have any information on this Formula 1. It is being sold on eBay right now by a seller that I actually know and trust. But he doesn鈥檛 really know much about it either. He found it in a junk shop.

Here is the listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256882024349
An acquaintance of mine on Instagram (@watchingtime) asked me about this watch, as he recently bought one. The helmet is not of any famous Formula 1 driver that I know of from the '90s, so it raises a big question mark on these.

After he received the watch, he mentioned the helmet is applied with a shiny finish, not consistent with the application of the TAG Heuer logo. Raising more doubts about this watch. I certainly wouldn't buy this one, my feeling is the helmet graphic was added after the fact.

This was not in the plan or the budget, but my wife has turned out to be a bad influence.

While visiting our youngest son in Silicon Valley last weekend, we stopped into the San Jose mall, which turned out to be a watch-shopper's paradise -- boutiques for almost every brand you read about on all the watch-fanatic sites. I had planned to only go to the TAG Heuer boutique, but my wife decided we should stop in the Omega boutique on our way to TH. While there, I looked at a couple of watches and then my wife says I should try on the moonwatch I was looking at. So, we sat down with the salespeople (we had two waiting on us, was a slow moment at the store), and I tried it on. It was very nice. But, just as I was about to take it off and hand it back, my wife starts saying, "Just do it. You know you're going to get one eventually anyway. Plus it looks really good on you."

So... you can probably guess what came home with us. 馃槈

Thanks! But pretty sure this is "payback" for the Pasha I bought her before our trip a couple months ago.

You have good woman
Yes, indeed! Just a little hazardous to my budget....
