·Hello everyone!
I'm new here and just registered. I like nice watches but not as much as others and certainly not as knowledgeable either especially mechanical watches. I like German cars though
.
I've been a long time Tag Heuer fan always like their design. Ever since my former brother in-law, his brother and their dad had the S/el in the 90s I was always fascinated by the bracelet which is the Link. I was in my earl teens that time.
When I finished college and got a job I bought my first Tag which is the Formula 1 Quartz great introductory watch to the the Tag world. It was great and I used it everyday for more than 10 yrs up until the crown broke and I realized that it wasn't worth to fix it. So I haven't used a watch for about 2yrs. With smartphones I slowly felt ok with not wearing a watch. I understand not really comparable, just trying to tell myself that.
But in the past months I started to want it again especially when going to formal events with a suit (the Formula 1 isn't a dressy watch). Been checking ebay/kijiji and AD for the Link. I found an amazing deal for a Link Calibre 6 (WJF111) never thought I'd get an Automatic watch but was always thinking about it. One of the challenges for me is that I'm not a tall guy so 42mm watch is a bit too big on my wrist so 38-40 is perfect.
Needless to say I am very happy with my "new" Link watch. Its been about 2 decades for me to get the Link! Now in my mid 30s I have more appreciation with "nice" watches.
Now I'm looking to purchase another Tag for everyday use, preferably used but still the Link series and quartz. I was thinking for the S/el but most people selling it are asking a lot, am I missing something? So I'm leaning towards the WJ111. I was also thinking of the Aquaracer too, but there something about the Link bracelet that I really like, I guess its uniqueness.
Anyways hoping to learn more and a lot about Tag, watches and movement here.
