Watch collectors - let's talk watches here!

Sweet! Big fan of Tag Heuer. I got the Formula 1. I'll put it up when I get a chance.

Got one too.
Love it!
At the time of buying (Chrono24 in 2020) it wasn't that special, just a nice used Formula 1.

After I got it a few years I saw the new series Formula 1 (2023) which had an orange second hand and I wanted that too, together with the strap of the Gulf Edition:

So I made an appointment at my local Tag Heuer dealer to get this done so it would be a genuine Tag Heuer mod.
After two weeks I got it back:

Much better!
"But", they said: "do you know it's a Limited Edition?"...
Ehr...no, I never knew!
They showed me the back:

I never looked at the back so yeah, that was a big surprise!
It wasn't even in the ad when I bought it!
Anyway, I'll keep the original second hand with great care cuz it's quite unique.
The other difference with a regular Formula 1 is the black dial, normally it's dark blue.
It's #116/200 so that's pretty rare for a big brand like Tag Heuer.
Lucky me!

Ok, now I'm curious about your Formula 1!


PS Colored logo means quartz, outlined logo means automatic.

This is my cheapest watch.
It's just for wearing while doing actual labour.
Of course I modified it.

After modifying:

Before, I really didn't like the hands...

Can you guess the price of this watch?

PS It's just a extremely rare coincidence that it looks like the Patek Philippe Nautilus worth billions!
Even more cuz I changed the hands...

Got the black fabric strap for my Glashutte Original SeaQ. Love the size, the weight, and how it embraces the watch's 39.5mm size.

Nice choice making it special. I love it!

Nice choice making it special. I love it!

Thanks!
Still very proud of it and it's such a great story.
Now still waiting for @PT Addiction to show his.

I wrote to Tag Heuer customer service on August 1st and today I got a reply:

"Here are the information we retrieved concerning the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph - Special Edition DM London 2016:

This Limited Edition was done in conjunction with DM London (The Watch Gallery), who at that time had the concession on the Wonder Room in Selfridges on Oxford Street, London. This was Limited to 200 Units designed in the colours of DM London."

So it's an official Tag Heuer cooperation and it's limited, that is so cool!
There's no information on the interwebs (yet, I contacted Dale of WatchBase as well) so I'm so glad I have the history of this Formula 1!
Man, I'm so happy!
I've just put it on again, lol.
