TAG Heuer 4000 Series Watch Watch

I've had a TAG Heuer 4000 series watch since 1997 and always wanted to write an opinion on it since I joined Ciao. Unfortunately, or fortunately, this is no longer available, but this opinion may be helpful if anyone wishes to buy a second hand one or if anyone was thinking of purchasing on at the sales. When I bought this (or was given this to be precise) it retailed for just under £1000, but 50% off was easily found at the sales. I ...
...DC or Boris Becker!). TAG Heuer is a Swiss watchmaker, they have been with us since 1860, and they pride themselves in manufacturing professional sports watches, and they are without doubt the crème de la crème along with Rolex and Omega etc, but they specialise at a younger market, with hi-octane passion and their reputation as their selling point. They also had an aggressive advertising programme in the UK in the late 90's, I am sure you must ...

Review of TAG Heuer 4000 Series Watch Watch

I got my tag for my 18th Brithday, 7 years ago, it is supposed to be serviced (£100 a time) every '2-3' years, I have had to get it serviced twice already, and needs 'servicing' again, it takes six weeks to get it serivced). First time round, it slowed and stopped, sent it off, and was told that the hands and face were 'faded': cost £80 extra. Two years later, watch slows and stops, bezel has also stopped clicking when you turn it (i.e it turned ...
...know someone else with a tag (series 2000 this time), the crown on his watch 'fell out', and the official repairers took about four attempts to repair that properly, and he knows someone who has had endless problems with their Tag. Overall, not very impressed, and the time is not exactly accurate either. these obviously depends on who sets it, but currently it is operating at about 5secs per day out minimum! It would be nice to think that you had ...

Review of TAG Heuer 4000 Series Watch Watch

...lucky enough to purchase my Tag 4000 on ebay in 2003 from a seller in Switzerland, and I have NEVER had a single problem with the automatic movement. All it requires is wearing it everyday. If I miss a Sunday or the whole weekend, I might have to self-wind it to catch it up, but this should be expected with an automatic movement. You either have to place the watch in an automatic winding device, or you have to catch it up yourself before wearing ...
...watch. From his review, it sounds like he didn't know much about automatics. I had never had an automatic watch before my Tag, but I won't buy another quartz if I can help it. I have more problems with watch batteries. I love this Tag automatic! ...

Review of TAG Heuer 4000 Series Watch Watch

I thought I'd treat myself - why not? Now maybe I'm mad or maybe I just get it wrong and can't read betweeen the lines. But I bought this watch (brand new, quartz and slightly earlier model than the one shown) as a practical everyday wear watch - not as a piece of jewellery. I like practical solid pieces of kit and, after all, this was a diver's watch, it was fully waterproof and even had an adjustable bit to make the strap bigger to get over your ...
...to enable easy turning when wearing diver's gloves and the scratch-proof glass and the dilithium crystal activated, or whatever it was, illuminated markings I felt like I was in good hands. True, I felt a little bit James Bond with it on and got some admiring comments. True I liked to put it on and just look at how well it sat on my wrist - I too can be as superficial and pointless as the next man. And good it was for a while: but the lovely satin ...
