Tag Heuer Formula 1 Men's Watch Review Model: waz2011.ba0842 hey guys it's Andrew with my watch
addiction comm and today we're gonna
take a look at a Tag Heuer Formula one
caliber 5 automatic watch so as I
mentioned today we are going to be
taking a look at a Tag Heuer Formula one
caliber 5 automatic watch review that I have
recently received in from an option that
I took place in and again was a happy
winner of E and if you guys can't tell
yes I have kind of an addiction with
watch auctions now so we're gonna have
to deal with that at some point because
I have a buttload of watches here
waiting to take a look at with you guys
speaking of which if you want to get
alerted every time I release a new video
go ahead and hit that subscribe button
if you have not already and you'll be
notified every time I release a new
review or new video before we jump into
this though guys let's take a look and
see what's on my wrist today the watch
of the day is that xeric Trappist one
that i received from their successful
kickstarter campaign don't wear this
watch a whole lot simply because I just
yeah I don't know it's a nice watch it's
cool I just haven't found what I want to
wear it with so it is what it is alright
guys so let's jump into this Tag Heuer
formula one typical brown cardboard box
on the outside inside we have the
warranty card as well as the instruction
manual and guarantee information for the
movement and the watch itself we'll get
those out of the way and open this guy
up and there she is this is the Tag
Heuer formula 1 caliber 5
now the reference number on this watch
is waz 2 0 1 1 waz 2 0 1 1 . be a 0 8 4
3 so let's take this guy out of here and
take a look at this a little bit more in
detail if I can get it off this pillow
there's a very basic box not a whole lot
nothing real special to the box but if
we take a look at this guy and I'll
actually zoom in for you here so you can
see it a little bit better so if we take
a look at the sky the one of the things
that kind of caught my attention on this
watch right from the get-go was that
anthracite dial that they use in these
and you can kind of see in the light
there you get kind of that shimmer or
sunburst effect to that dial just with
the micro micro fine lines in it I think
it's just really really neat and you
know in the sunlight it really catches
and pops in my opinion now this tag who
are your formula 1 is 43 millimeters in
diameter and has a case thickness of 12
millimeters has a scratch-resistant
sapphire crystal on the front with a
closed case back now the movement in
this watch is a caliber v tag movement
and if I remember correctly this had 25
jewels with 38 hours of power reserve
when it's fully wound the bracelet on
this watch you can see is the 2-tone
there it has the brushed stainless steel
metal links with ceramic inserts or
Center links in the middle of that
bracelet and to me I think that
personally I think that color
combination with those ceramic inserts
as well as that brushed stainless steel
and that anthracite dial just really
really pop I think it's a personally I
think it's a really really good-looking
watch now I know that a lot of true
watch guys out there aren't real big
fans of tag they think they're
overpriced and think they're not worth
the money
you know yada yada yada we've all heard
it before but personally for me I think
it's I think it's really really neat and
I'm definitely a huge fan of this watch
now if we want to talk a little bit
about how much this watch is going for
currently right now on that tag heuer
calm their website this watch again the
Tag Heuer Formula one caliber five is
currently selling for two thousand fifty
dollars directly from tag but you can as
always typically find it cheaper
currently on Amazon right now this watch
is going for fifteen hundred and
seventeen dollars from one of their
sellers Jumma shop has this watch listed
for fourteen hundred and seventy five
dollars and then of course if you look
on eBay you can find this watch ranging
in price anywheres from you know sub
$1000 for used watches in pretty decent
condition I've seen them go as low as
seven eight hundred dollars depending on
the condition of the watch and whether
or not as the box and the papers the
whole nine yards all the way up to you
know the the retail listing of fourteen
fifteen hundred dollars is what they're
averaging on eBay right at the moment
now I actually purchased this watch via
a auction in a Facebook group from a
gentleman that I've done business with
before yeah and so I had a very strong
comfort level that this wasn't gonna be
a fake watch I had a comfort level that
I wasn't gonna get scammed or ripped off
in any way shape or form as it relates
to actually getting the watch so I had a
fair amount of comfort when I started
bidding in this auction I actually let
this auction run right up to about
twelve hundred and fifty dollars is
where I got this watch for because again
I've dealt with this gentleman before if
I've purchased a watch from him each
watch that I've gotten has come in
amazing condition
this one was brand-new had the plastic
on it had never been more and never even
been sized of course the second I got it
I had to get it on my wrist and wear it
so this watch has been sized it's been
worn because let's face it I was excited
and I wanted to get it on my wrist
alright guys so that was the Tag Heuer
formula one caliber five that I received
in absolutely excited about having this
watch in my collection I can already
tell this watch is going to get a lot of
wrist time the comfort on this watch is
definitely on point and just that
overall edge and dial design that
anthracite dial those ceramic inserts on
that brushed stainless steel bracelet
I'm really really really liking this
watch matter of fact I may or may not
have another tag coming in so stick
around definitely post up in the
