Here's something you don't see that often ...

TheNorthShoreWatch

In the early 90s when I had my first real jobs after college, I purchased a couple of watches (what a surprise). One of them was a red Tag Heuer F1 like this one. I've been looking for a red one for a very long time, then found this on eBay last week.

I don't remember if mine was this small, or if years of larger watches is just distorting things on me.  I have to go digging through old pics now to see.

When I unboxed it and saw the size I immediately decided to sell it on, but now that it's on my wrist .... 😉

Man, I wanted a Tag in the worst way in the 90s.  Maybe hold onto that for a bit to see how you feel about it.

Yeah, I'm kinda digging it.  A litle PolyWatch on the crystal really cleaned it up too!

How small is it?  It's bright enough that the color might make it wear big...

Looks like 35mm. It's not too bad on my wrist. Definitely small but it's just so over-the-top retro that it kinda makes sense.  Not sure how much I'd ever really wear it, but it might be fun to keep just for nostalgia purposes. I'm seeing that the odds are high that my original was also 35 mm, so it's likely the same watch after all.

Yeah, no good can come of that. Resist.

These are great and I've looked but the ones that are cheap are in beat condition. I recall them being normal sized, and apparently they were.
