ON THE WALL: TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 Dealer Clock
Dealer clocks are hugely desirable, you only have to take a quick look at eBay to see pieces being sold for hundreds of pounds with no real way to know if what's being offered is genuine or not. Because generally speaking, dealer clocks are not sold to the public, they are promotional tools given (or maybe sold, I don't know) to authorised dealers and which perhaps have to be returned one day or are quietly sold privately.
There's no real way to authenticate a 'dealer clock', because these pieces aren't made by the brand they represent and the concept of 'genuine' doesn't really apply in the same way as it does to watches. That said I'd wager quite a lot of what's offered on eBay is probably not 'genuine' as they tend to be simple designs and not really quite the same as the kinds of things you see on jeweller's walls.
The chance to buy a genuine 'dealer clock' directly from the brand then is something quite unusual, and this is something way beyond anything I've ever seen on eBay....
I've actually seen one of these before; you may remember I visited a TAG Heuer dealer called AMJ Watches in Newark last May (to see a solid gold 6000 Series, which I think they've since sold as I can't find it on their website now) and they had one there which I drooled over extensively, but I never actually thought I'd see one come up for sale through official channels!
This one (actually there are two available) is currently on display in the TAG Heuer boutique at the Cheshire Oaks retail park (which is an excellent day out by the way, I've been there many a time and rarely spent less than four or five hours browsing!). I gotta say I was quite shocked when I was sent these photos as I really didn't expect to see one of these for sale, I've always hoped for a chance at the 'Aquaracer' wallclock like they have in Bicester Village, but this is truly 'next level' especially as I own the watch that this is modelled on.
Unfortunately, after my initial excitement, I came to the conclusion that this wasn't for me, even though I really like it and I know when these are gone I will probably rue my decision endlessly. The thing is not so much the cost, although at £875 (list price £1750) this is by no means cheap, but more the realisation that this needs to go somewhere with 'scale' and really somewhere with 'modern' decor. I have a friend who has a huge house, onto which he's just built a large extension with a bar / pool room and this would look outstanding in there, but in my little 13ft square lounge with mid brown carpet - not so much!
So it's not for me, sadly... even though I want it badly! But maybe you have the right kind of environment for such an outstanding piece? If so you can contact the Cheshire Oaks store on 0151 356 3298, or if you are nearer the Bicester Village store I am told they could work something out for you, their number is 01869 249008.
I really do think this is a stunning clock and I wish I had the kind of house where it would look good, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass on this one.

ON THE WRIST: TAG Heuer Monaco Quartz Watch with Diamonds
WAW1313.FC6247
TAG Heuer Boutique / Bicester Village, 21st February 2020
Technically this might be considered a 'ladies' watch, but throw your preconceptions out of the window for just a cotton-pickin minute; after all, those pesky wimen are wearing 'our' watches these days and no doubt doing their bit to exacerbate the supply and demand issues with your favourite Rolex models! So I say two can play at that game, and while I initially asked to have a look at this with a view to reviewing it as a ladies model, well... that's not quite how things transpired.
The WAW1313 is positioned, as you'd expect, with all the other 'ladies' watches in the cabinets on the left hand side of the TAG Heuer store, strange then that I'm told that everyone who's tried it on so far has been a man. Somehow that didn't surprise me, I'm only surprised that as yet it hasn't sold... because this is a gorgeous watch indeed!
You may remember that I was rather excited when the quartz Monaco was announced a couple of years ago, but then when I tried it on I was disappointed because it was too small and too 'feminine' looking... odd then that I liked this one as much as I did. I suppose that's because I'm approaching it from a whole different perspective and perhaps because I've got used to wearing smaller watches in the meantime. Even so, I was expecting this to look a little bit lost on my wrist and it really didn't... perhaps the white dial and strap makes the watch wear a little bigger than it really is?
The dial on this one is really nice, it's split into three with the left and right sides faced in mother of pearl, while the middle section is a matt white with vertical fluting, it looks okay in the photographs but it looks incredible on the wrist. The hour markers are diamond and there's a row of diamonds along the top and bottom edges, maybe this is the deal breaker for you? But men wear diamonds too, there's a goodly selection of diamond bezel Carreras to choose from after all...
But yeah, I get it - it takes a confident man to wear a diamond encrusted watch, and an even more confident man to wear something that's at least 'perceived' to be a ladies watch. Personally I would wear this 100%, and I'm definitely not a reed thin, androgynous teenager with skinny jeans, £1000 trainers and an edgy haircut - far from it!
Oddly, I still don't think I would entertain the black dial 'unisex/mens' version of this watch, partly because as a 'man's' Monaco I still think it looks effeminate and small, but this... this is a different story. In fact I would seriously consider adding this to my collection but for one small detail - the price.
Y'see, once you start putting diamonds on watches the price starts climbing faster than you can say 'automatic movement' (which this doesn't have incidentally, like most women's watches this one is a quartz) which means this watch has a heart stopping list price of £4050! Thankfully Bicester Village's price is a lot more palatable at £2835, but even so that puts it into pre-owned Calibre 12 territory... which makes it a very tough call for me, as much as I liked it.
My other concern really is the white strap, I just know I'm going to get it dirty... but damn I really like this watch!

ON THE WRIST: Zenith Pilot Montre D'Aeronef
96.2431.693/21.C738
TAG Heuer Boutique / Bicester Village, 21st February 2020
When I first saw this watch I must admit it did arouse my interest, which is odd... because for me the traditional 'Pilot' watch is something that I really don't get the love for; especially the massively oversized ones with the equally oversized 'onion' crowns. And yet, for some reason this one gave me pause for thought, and now getting it on the wrist makes me pause for thought all over again, because I really, really like this one!
Okay, let's just face the 'size' issue head on, this is 48mm in diameter, but looking at it I actually guessed 45mm - so I would say it wears a little smaller than it actually is; probably because it's black PVD titanium and lighter than you might think. Then again, that crown is HUGE, but because the 'Bund' strap lifts the watch up off the wrist it really wasn't an issue at all; I thought it would wear horribly, especially for someone like me who wears my watches as close to my hand as possible, but it was absolutely fine.
*Some slightly odd people do wear their watches a little way down their arm apparently - Jody from the 'Just One More Watch' youtube channel being a prime example...!
Everything about this watch is big, even the buckle... I didn't measure it but that has to be at least 1" across there. I like the star detail as well, and incidentally, that's not a scratch at the top right corner, just one of my hairs looping over the buckle. They've also made a nice job of decorating the back of the 'Bund' strap, I was expecting it to just be plain on the back so this was a rather nice surprise when I turned it over!
I know the 'Bund' strap isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I've always had a bit of a soft spot for any kind of 'cuff' strap and I would definitely keep it in place. There's nothing to stop you removing it off course, but I would suggest that if you do the crown might become an issue. As you can see in the picture below, the crown is very nearly as wide as the whole watch and I wouldn't fancy that pressing into the back of my hand. Incidentally, I didn't take the watch off the cuff, but if you do there is a nice engraving on the back of the watch as well.
Some pretty decent lume on the dial and hands here too, sorry for the slightly blurry photograph by the way - I only took one 'lumeshot' photo so it will have to do. Actually the Arabic numerals are the only thing I'm not 100% crazy about, the shape is okay, but I'm not sure about the finish of them - it's kind of somewhere between desert camouflage and faux patina, still they look great when they are glowing.
Small running seconds at the 9 position is something a little different and there's also a small plate on the left hand side of the watch (which I unfortunately didn't get a shot of) which tells you the watch is a limited edition and contains this watch's individual number out of 1903. The pusher at the top left of the case is to advance the red skeletonised hand which is the GMT hand on this watch. Around the dial you will find 24 markers indicating the hours of the day and night, you can just about make them out in the picture above actually.
While I was trying on this watch I was mistakenly under the impression that the watch was more expensive than it actually is (which is always a good thing, no?), in fact the list price of the watch is £6400, but currently at Bicester Village this one is available for £3800, which seems remarkably good value. Sure, it's not something you're going to wear every day, but it's clearly very well made and with fantastic attention to detail.
Like I said at the start, Pilot watches aren't really something that I've ever dreamed of owning, but if I was to go down that route this Zenith Pilot Montre D'Aeronef would definitely be right up there at the top of my list.

SPOTLIGHT ON: DIY Battery Replacement
CG1120-0
Collecting watches is great fun and there are bargains to be had - I've been very fortunate to find a good number of watches at very reasonable prices... but, last year it dawned on me that I needed to start saving some money for repairs and battery replacements and so I set up a little fund for that very purpose.
Then my 1500 Series GMT battery died, it was the first battery I'd had go (apart from my F1 Kirium, which has a 'sleep' function and needs a new battery every 5-7 years) and I paid £50 to have the battery changed on the spot, with a 100M test, which it passed. But looking at my collection I started to think, three years of collecting and no batteries - 24 quartz watches; these things are all going to start going at once and it is going to sting!
Then I robbed that fund to buy a watch... it was bound to happen.
:)
Then I was going through my watch stuff and I found a receipt that came with my 2000 Multigraph, someone paid £90 at 'Watch Station' for a new battery and a water resistance test (which it failed!), and I bought that watch for about £250 if I remember correctly. This, I decided, was madness...
It kinda brought it home to me that if you send your watch back to TAG Heuer, that's one thing; I've sent my F1 Kirium back twice since I bought it (from new) and it cost me £85 or £95 the last time (IIRC) and if you do that then they test it to the full water rating and presumably change the seals if necessary, the downside is that it takes a few weeks to come back. On the other hand, if you take it to a good local watch man (somewhere like 'Time to Time' in Debenhams), you will get it back within the hour, and it will be tested (but only to 100M) but if it fails the test it will then need to be sent back anyway - at further expense, or you still have to pay and accept that the watch is not watertight.
Now if you have one or two watches, like me when I bought my first TAG Heuer, then you can accept a cost of £85 every few years, especially if you bought the watch new and it cost you £1000+, then it's reasonable to invest in it, but once you start buying from eBay and you pick up watches for £2-300, then it starts looking a bit silly to pay 1/3 of the price every few years just to get the battery changed - especially since you don't really know the history of the watch and if it's watertight anyway.
So towards the end of last year my wife's classic Formula 1 needed a new battery, which seemed to me like the perfect opportunity to have a go myself. I asked her if she wanted me to try doing it or did she want to pay £50, she said 'have a go', so I opened the back and got the number off the battery. A few days later the battery arrived having cost me the sum of 99p including postage (not even a cheap battery, a Swiss made Renata) and though it was slightly daunting, in truth it was pretty straightforward and once I'd done one I felt a lot better about it. My wife was over the moon that I'd saved her £50, so all well and good.
Then, as anticipated the watches started going, first my 500M Aquaracer, then my two-tone 3000 and then my two-tone S/EL, all within a few weeks. I tried to get the back off the Aquaracer but it would not budge and I decided maybe it would be best to send that one back, especially as the bezel needed some attention, so I sent that one back to TAG Heuer, but the 3000 I did myself and again it was straightforward.
Then came the S/EL, and taking the back off of that one I saw what I had dreaded finding... the battery had a metal plate across it held on by two tiny screws. This I was not keen on since I was sure to drop the screws (probably into the movement), but knowing I have several watches with this movement I figured I was going to have to give it a go.
Then I came across a video showing you how to change the battery in this movement and I realised that actually you don't need to undo the screws completely, you only need to loosen one of them and the plate swings out of the way - result!
Now, you might suggest that this is all very well, but when you take it to a store you are having the watch 'resealed'... which was my original thought, but really they don't do anything other than screw the caseback down, they don't 'reseal' it, all they do is test it to see if it is waterproof or not - and if that is important to you, then the DIY route is probably not for you. But personally I don't get any of my watches wet - ever, even my 500M Aquaracer, so for me this is not an issue.
But in any case, it doesn't really make a difference whether you do it or they do it, if the seals are good then it will be 'sealed', there's nothing they can do different to you, there's no magic watch voodoo spell they cast over the watch as they re-assemble it, it's just a screw-down back - all they can 'do' is test and tell you one way or the other.
So like I say, when you buy a second hand watch, unless you get a test receipt with it you really can't be sure if the seals are okay or not, but if you open the back and the o-ring is in good condition the chances are that it's okay. Again, I wouldn't recommend swimming with a watch unless you've had it tested, but if you pick up a watch for £250, do you really want to spend another £50-100 testing it?
I guess what I'm really saying is that if you have a lot of watches and you don't want to end up paying hundreds or possibly thousands of pounds out just to have the batteries changed, it's worth thinking about doing it yourself. The tools required can be purchased for less than £10 on eBay and the batteries are often 99p... so far I've found it's pretty simple, much easier than I thought it would be.
I'm not saying I would do all my watches myself, I'm minded to send my Microtimer back perhaps... and maybe my pristine F1 Kirium, but the watches I've picked up from eBay for less than £500 I will definitely do myself. Realistically, there's every chance that the last owner did exactly the same thing, if there's no receipt you just don't know.
There's another element to this as well, which has just occurred to me, if you have a large collection of watches. In a larger collection like mine, there's always going to be a watch that's the 'bottom' of the pecking order, the one that for some reason you just don't wear that often - even though I really like it, my silver 6000 Chrono is that watch at the moment, and not so long back I was thinking of selling it, I even listed it on eBay for an hour before I changed my mind and took it down. So if you're in that position with a watch you don't really want to have to spend £60 on it every few years... just to keep it in your watch box, that might be enough to persuade you to move it on. After all that watch is probably worth between £500-600 at the moment, so it's 10% of its value each time.
But I know some of you will find the idea of opening your watch yourself 'horrendous' and not so long ago I would have been the same. But really it isn't that hard and we're not talking about doing anything 'demanding' or technically difficult here - it's just a battery change, and you're perfectly happy to change batteries in pretty much everything else you own, aren't you?
For those of you keen to give it a go I have added a new 'Page' to the tab at the top of the blog called 'Batteries'. This contains some instructional videos and I will also use it to keep a record of which batteries are required for each of my watches. If anyone wants to let me know which battery your TAG Heuer takes I am more than happy to add that too.

ON THE WRIST: TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Chronograph
CV2013.FC6234
TAG Heuer Outlet / Bicester Village, 19th September 2019
As 'Bdev' rightly pointed out in the comments section under my post about the new brown Aquaracer the other day, one brown dial piece I kinda forgot to include was the CV2013 Carrera Calibre 16. I say 'kinda' because I didn't actually forget about the watch, I just forgot to include it in the post... and in fact I've been sitting on a post about the CV2013 since I tried it on last September.
Okay, to be honest, I have tried to complete this post several times, but there has always been something more interesting to talk about and so it's kinda been left behind. As such this watch has long since departed the store, so while I can tell you the price it was then (£2555, down from £3650) there's no guarantee that if it comes back into stock it will be the same price. In fact, I would expect a price hike of around £50-80 given recent movement in the stock.
Long term readers will know that I haven't always been kind to 'brown' watches, or perhaps more accurately watches that come on brown straps... but over the last couple of years my stance has definitely softened. I think the black PVD Carrera with the 'sand' coloured numerals (which came on a weathered brown leather strap) was the catalyst for change and, well, I turned 50 last October so I'm getting to that age where brown straps start to make more sense... :)
This one certainly has some character, pairing a brown dial and aluminum bezel insert with some orange highlights for that full on 70s effect, and while it's not something I would buy, I did quite like that it was a Carrera but one with a whole different aura about it. Like, I'm not a fan of the Omega Speedmaster, but when you see it in an unusual colour, say with a white or blue dial, it looks a whole lot more interesting somehow.
I think with the brown bezel this is a whole lot less subtle than the new Aquaracer and less likely to be mistaken for a black dial watch. If you're the sort of person who wears natural colours and say light blue jeans this would probably work well for you, but if you're like me and tend towards black and dark blue, well this probably isn't for you... unless you wear brown shoes with black clothes, in which case you're clearly a 'maverick' and there's no point in even trying to reason with you!
On the wrist it's your regular 41mm Calibre 16 Carrera; so it's probably a little thicker than you'd really like, but not so bad that you'd write it off altogether. I'd be interested to see one of these on the optional BA0794 bracelet as that might be more appealing to me, as it is there's a little too much brown going on here for me... but I'm willing to bet that whoever bought this one is more than happy with their purchase.
If you are interested in this watch, the store may be able to help you, give them a ring on 01869 249008.

SPOTLIGHT ON: TAG Heuer Formula 1 'Ukyo Katayama' Special Edition
382.513/K
The classic Formula 1 range is all about colour and fun, and you can't get much more colourful and fun than this Ukyo Katayama special edition. For those of you who are too young to remember, Ukyo Katayama is a Japanese racing driver most famously remembered for his Formula 1 career which lasted for 97 races over six seasons (1992-1997) and took in three teams (Tyrell, Minardi and Larrousse). During this time he managed to score 5 World Championship points, which sounds rubbish but you have to remember that when Katayama was racing only the top six finishers scored any points* and he wasn't driving anything like a competitive car.
Indeed, one look at the 1992 F1 Championship shows that Mansell dominated and scored nearly double the second place driver's total, but it was still only 108 points, and of the 39 drivers who competed only 19 managed to score a point at all and only 8 of those got into double figures.
*During Ukyo's time in the sport the points system was 10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, as opposed to the slightly ridiculous school sports day 'everybody' wins nonsense we have now. Winning a single point was a big deal back then.
Actually what Ukyo is perhaps most remembered for is a very dramatic crash off the start at the 1995 Portugese Grand Prix held at the Estoril circuit. This left him in hospital for for two days with a strained neck and bruising, but it could have been a lot worse!
It seems like TAG Heuer were a personal sponsor for Ukyo Katayama; as you can see he had a TAG Heuer logo on the sleeve of his race suit. This sounds surprising for someone who didn't exactly set the F1 world alight, but what you have to remember is the massive popularity of Formula 1 in Japan during the 80s and 90s (you couldn't even buy tickets for the Japanese Grand Prix without entering a lottery first!) and as the only Japanese driver in the championship Ukyo was a superstar at home.
I don't think I've ever seen a watch dial with a signature on the glass before, that's pretty damned cool. It's actually on the back of the glass as well, so it won't come off when you 'Polywatch' it to get the scratches out. Smart thinking TAG Heuer!
I guess really, signature glass aside and backplate aside, this is nothing you couldn't put together yourself if you had enough classic F1s (I'm only slightly surprised they didn't 'half and half' the strap as well, perhaps they thought that was a step too far!) and although it really is a complete dog's dinner of a watch, I cant help but like it! For me this is the 'ultimate' 80s Formula 1, it evokes the spirit of the decade and it's just a pity that Ukyo wasn't driving for Benetton at the time as that would have made it even more appropriate.
Prices on these are all over the place, I found one for sale for £1100... but I'm reliably informed (by Snowy on the Calibre11 forum, who owns not one but two of these!) that these are generally available for $3-400 dollars in Japan. I'd certainly consider swapping my classic F1 for one of these if the opportunity arises!

ON THE WRIST: TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 16 Chronograph
CAY218A.FC6361
TAG Heuer Boutique / Bicester Village, 24th January 2020
I must admit I've always had a soft spot for these Aquaracers, but I find myself conflicted between the two available models; on the one hand I find the Calibre 5's 41mm diameter too small on my 7.3/4" wrist, but on the other I find the Calibre 16's dial a little cluttered. Ideally then I'd really like a 43mm Calibre 5, although then there's always the potential for 'empty dial syndrome'...
Having tried on both versions relatively recently, I think if I had to choose one or the other then I would go for the Calibre 16. Yes it's a lot more expensive, but the extra 'wrist presence' justifies the cost. Of course both share that polished ceramic bezel and the yellow detailing on the dial and textile strap, which gives these watches an eye-catching, glamorous edge... so ether way you'll certainly be getting something which will constantly draw your eye. But for me, I think I'd get used to the Calibre 16 dial... but the Calibre 5 will always be a little too 'buttony' for me.
You know when TAG Heuer first brought out these woven textile straps I really wasn't sure about them at all. But having had one in my collection now for over 6 months, I have to say I've grown to like them. They seem a lot more hard wearing than they look, although obviously you have to make some effort to avoid getting the stitching dirty. Admittedly they aren't cheap to replace, the gold coloured one for my Aquaracer WAY208C costs over £200, which seems a bit excessive... but then again I don't feel like I will need to replace my strap anytime soon. If you're going to wear these every day though it might be a different story... you can always purchase a very nice (and much cheaper) fitted rubber strap for those days when you want to get extra 'dirty'.
Black watches are always slightly 'difficult', since they rarely come on bracelets so the choice of strap is always something of a challenge. You also have to accept that the coating is relatively easy to damage and difficult and costly to repair, but on the other hand black watches look damn cool and this one is no exception.
I have a horrible feeling that when these are all gone I will suddenly want one, but right now I don't really have the budget for this. That said, £2375 will make this yours, and you'll be saving £1020 off the regular price, doesn't seem bad at all does it?

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 and Formula 1 Quartz Watch
WAZ1018.BA0842 WAY2018.BA0927
The 'Aston Martin Red Bull Formula 1 Racing TAG Heuer Formula 1 quartz chronograph' wasn't the only watch to sneak out onto social media last weekend; there was also another quartz Formula 1 and also another Calibre 5 Aquaracer with a new dial colour...
I must admit I've decided to completely rewrite this first part of this post... my original post went something along the lines of 'brown, why... boring, can't get a green one.... waaah!', which is rather unfair... so now we've got that out of the way, let's move on!
Brown watches are fairly unusual, but brown dive watches.... that's really unusual. Dive watches tend to be either black or blue, or less often brightly coloured (orange, yellow, or even red), but I'm really struggling to think of a dive watch in brown. Maybe it's something you could get from Longines or Oris, but I certainly can't remember there ever being a brown TAG Heuer diver. In fact brown isn't a colour that TAG Heuer have traditionally used a lot; there are a few pieces, like the 300SLR, the Grand Carrera chronograph, a Link and the new Autavia Calibre 5 but those aside I'm struggling to remember many more.
WAY2018.BA0927
Brown has an uncanny ability to look black at first glance, so it's a subtle shift away from the norm we are dealing with here rather than anything radical, but it does give a different feel to the dial. I enjoyed my time with the Grand Carrera brown dial, it managed to look warmer than black and also rather classy, I would imagine this will give off a similar aura... but is it right for a dive watch? On one hand I would say no, but then given the current trend for fitting brown leather straps to dive watches, maybe this makes a lot more sense than it initially appears? Hmm...
Despite my initial disclaimer, I honestly think I'm still far too hung up on the green Aquaracer to give this a genuinely fair hearing at the moment, hopefully by the time I get it on my wrist I will be able to be a little more objective.
List price for the WAY2018.BA0927 Calibre 5 Aquaracer Brown Dial is £1895.
The other new watch is a lot less conservative...
WAZ1018.BA0842
I remember trying on a grey dial Calibre 5 Formula 1 last year and being rather impressed with it, the grey (possibly anthracite) dial gave the watch a classy look that belied it's budget price tag, but here... well, there's nothing classy about the WAZ1018 is there? One might even say it's been 'Max Verstappen'd' with those red Arabic numerals and hands, and we already know Max's watch designing skills are a little bit suspect!
Incidentally, just checking a few websites and no one is saying these hands and numbers are lumed, they are simply described as 'vibrant red numbers', so I think that needs clarifying. I suspect the hands will be lumed but the numbers may just be regular paint. Unfortunately as yet this watch hasn't made it's way onto the TAG Heuer website yet I can't give a definitive answer on that one.
Still, the Formula 1 range isn't really about being classy, it's about fun watches and crazy colours so maybe I should give it a break?
It reminds me of those limited edition Ernest Jones watches from last year, and maybe if you put this one on a black rubber strap with some red trim it would work better for me? As it is, I can't really take to it, but maybe I'm just getting too old for this sort of watch?
List price for the WAZ1018.BA0842 Formula 1 Quartz Grey Dial is £1095
