Alternate to Rolex OP/EXPLORER
I've always wanted a Rolex OP or an explorer.... But I also know that the funds required will always be that much further away with each passing year.
Bought this beauty from #vwc in Brisbane and I've never felt the itch of its Rolex counterpart.
Ever have a watch that's scratched the itch of your original love?

That F1 is iconic……(so is yours btw)….I think it’s the best of the best F1’s ever made! And one of the few quartz tags I would own.

Couldn't agree more... That's why I also have the following!!
That’s one of the last styles F1 chronographs I really liked. They turned into 🐕🐶💩after that.
This is the year they fucked them up. They still look good, but they integrated those plasticized rubber parts that deteriorated overtime and cannot be replaced. Always pissed me off about this one of mine.

Couldn't agree more. I get that feeling about my F1 as well. That's why I love the grand Carrera cause that thing is a DREAM on my wrist!!
WTF were they thinking they ruined it after this stupid rub rubberized plastic trim bits. Still a great looking watch. But those parts all always deteriorated on them eventually.

I love the Tag F1s. Not only are they cool, they are comfortable AF. My wife wears an almost-30yo-F1 and that kind of impressed me when I met her. Class!
You can see it here on my baby daughter (yes, it is tiny!). The patina on it is incredibly beautiful.
Thats a really interesting watch! I like it. I understand completely. Here is my itch scratched watch.

What’s the name of the company and how much does it go for? Is it a decent quality? Does they have a good level of water resistance?
