@@ijrm37to be honest, I could see how Adrian could come to the conclusion that every model is stainless if he were only looking at the listings on Tag's actual site, which appears to only be in steel.

Ironically, I think the plastic aspect is a selling point here because of the tracking of the mold and limited nature of the series- I believe they are overpriced for the movement, but it's actually kinda cool that they are keeping it original with modern durable polymers
They are over priced at £1200, but so is the Speedmaster, Aqua Terra, Ingenieur, Submariner... Watch prices have gone crazy. Doesn't put me off the Speedmaster, AT... etc. Just won't be buying one... not at retail anyway.

Hi Adrian, I still have and wear my original F1 (black strap with tritium markers and lum on the dial, it is very much "Trigger's broom", it's had a rough life, its last service brought it back to immaculate condition with an original strap. TH even returned the parts they replaced. Great service.
I still wear mine daily , brought in 90 for £180 on stainless strap , black on black with yellow, absolute dream watch to own never missed a beat , dont get suckered into this collab go OG
No, because there are less than 5000 and this isn’t a collaboration between a luxury watch brand and its parent company. Time will tell on whether TAG will now do more F1 collabs with other brands though.
I feel like choosing one of the Kith sweaters at 140-180 would have still proved your point of being higher-than-average, but choosing the Margiela sweater they just sell seems to be done for shock value.
Yeah it’s ridiculous. You could probably buy the Margiela stuff at Saks too. Kith products are sold at a premium price point but it’s nothing like high-end luxury brand pricing.
