Should I sell of trade my Tag Heuer Formula 1 Gulf Edition?

Post by Hicksmat »

As topic says. I need to raise some cash and have some watches leave for potential future in comings.

How much are you thinking?
How much do you wear it?
When you get the watch your saving for would you still wear the TAG Heuer?

I really want a damasko. I do wear this but not so much now I have my C61 orange bezel. So I think I could afford to lose it from my collection. I don't know much about Tag watches, no idea of value.

Speaking personally, I've flipped quite a few watches over the last few years and if there's one thing I've learned - I nearly always regret selling!

I'm the opposite of atnits. If it's not in the inner circle for regular wear then it should be viewed as a revenue source for future watches. Hello Damasko, laters Tag Heuer Gulf!

I think you already know the answer. Flip and enjoy the hunt.

Sometimes I regret these sales, sometimes they leave without a single scar and its almost weird the watches that fit in each category. I would regret selling my F1.

I wear it a lot when riding my motorbike and have good memories with it from Iceland and camping etc. If that's you then don't sell it. Simples.
I miss all the great things that may never be.

If you have no emotional attachment to it then sell it and get the Damasko. I hate to sound too mercenary but it is only a watch and if you're thinking about selling your TAG it can't mean that much to you. There are one or two in my collection that I couldn't and wouldn't sell. Your TAG isn't in this same category is it? I have to say only laziness is preventing me from doing a huge thinning out exercise as I want to concentrate on vintage or at least older pieces now. That said I'd jump at owning a 343 in black Damest if one came up at the right price but the things seem as rare as hens teeth. Which Damasko are you after?

Hmm. Simple models really. DA36/7 or DA46/7

Can't decide between black and white face.

I know the Tag F1 gulf is discontinued. Must have been limited edition. It's as new aside from usual marks on clasp here or there. Watch face and case is as new and all box and papers and warranty etc. I bought it in April 2012 as a present to myself for achieving something at work. Does anyone know anything about this watch to help make a decision on potential value? Thanks all.
