Re: It's really hard for me to say, since...

:

: Hi, please be gentle with me i am very new
: to this watch forum and have never
: previously posted. I have been thinking
: about purchasing a new heuer from a seller
: on ebay item no : 2653244541, i would just
: like an opinion whether this watch is
: reasonably priced or not, i understand if
: this does not interest you guys but any help
: would be greatly appreciated. I did e-mail
: Chuck once and found him to be more than
: helpful, take care, James. It's really
: hard for me to say, since it is a
: non-chronograph and quartz... The latter
: doesn't faze me but the first is nearly a
: killer for any interest I personally have.
: Which if you look at it one way, I won't be
: competing for this example, is a good thing.

: Let's take this at face value... A vintage
: time/date only Heuer Quartz essentially
: never worn with box papers, instructions,
: warrantee that came with the watch and the
: overhaul receipt.

: How much would it cost you to buy a time/date
: only Quartz TAG-Heuer today if you went to
: your local Authorized dealer? Probably
: somewhere in the opening bid range of this
: example. Do you like the looks of this
: example? Better or not as much as current
: models? What is it worth to you? All other
: aspects aside in the end it only really
: matters if you like the watch enough to bid
: and bid competitively. Of course there is
: the tactic in not bidding, and hoping that
: the seller will relist the watch with a
: lower starting bid. Which can backfire if
: someone else pops in the starting or a bid
: just minimally over the starting bid.

: By means of comparision, one could get a brand
: new (non-authorized dealer) example of the
: WK1110.BA0317 or WK1111.BA0317 TAG-Heuer
: 2000 for $617 from Ashford. I am not sure if
: that model is Quartz or an Automatic. But if
: you like the one on eBay, you like the one
: on eBay.

: I know I haven't been long on the detail
: directly pertaining to your query. But at
: worse, you have something to read until
: someone who does comes along!

: Good Hunting

: -- Chuck

: P.S. For what it's worth, the one on eBay does
: look sharp...

Chuck, its a quartz only not automatic and its been previously listed at the same price, e-mailed the seller he will not budge with the price, got to admit i like these earlier models much more than the current ones Tag Heuer produce now, i already own a 1000 series but with the Tag Heuer markings. Sorry, i have been checking out this site for some months now and of course posted this without first thinking most people active on this forum, if not all, are mostly interested in the chrono automatic watches produced by Heuer, so sorry for that but i appreciate your views and others. Its just there are no other sites that entertain heuer forums, take care all and i will keep checking back to get your combined knowledge on all the watches you so own, Thanks, James.
