Saw my buddy's wedding present today given to him by his new wife. A stunning watch. This photo does not do justice to the subtlety and beauty of this amazing watch.

Yet you inquired about non-VAT pricing? Really?


Nice buy, Matt. Too bad I'm not in the market for new toys.

To be honest, I am not too charmed by it either.

^ all 3 are pure elegance - have not seen too many of the GO 60's - looks great on the wrist.

Does this dial really say: Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 6? Automatic Chronometer Offically Certified Swiss Made ? on one watch dial? They seem to be substituting text for complications Busy, and in 2 tone - busy. Meh

While I'm not personally a fan, there's no more text on that dial than on a Rolex Sub.

Perhaps, but on a Sub (which I am not a fan, but admit is an absolute classic) I am reading the time and on this the text, as with the rest of the design, just seemed a bit much - busy.
