Jeansy, super cool Tag. I purchase this Tag in 1992. I’m sending it in for repair. The date gets stuck between days on occasion. Hopefully it won’t cost me an arm and a leg to get it fixed. BTW,it’s been super reliable up until a year ago. Not bad for 23 years.
My cheap “readeel” quartz aliexpress watch. I’d rather have a Seiko, but at the moment I don’t really have any money. This one will do nicely for the time being though.
That’s really nice Glenn, my father always had a Heuer stopwatch and raved about it so I’ve always wanted one. The colours on the dial are the ones used on James Hunts race car so that’s pretty cool even if it is just a sales gimmick.
Hope yours is easily fixed and you have a trustworthy repair shop.
Thanks Jeansy. I’ve been sending mine to an authorized Tag repair center in New Jersey for a cleaning, new seals, and a battery replacement every 4 years or so. I know they’re reliable. They always send a detailed report on the condition such as scratches, etc. They even told my the dial has faded over the years. To be honest, I’ve never noticed that. I’m confident they can fix it without any evidence that it has been repaired.
Thanks for kind words guys, love the TAG’s , very smart
This has been a daily beater watch for many years…………in fact i cant remember exactly but it must be 10yrs or not far off! Through thick and thin, working on my 4x4 to gardening to in the sea………Scratched and beat up, gives it personality, swapped out the battery the other year……………….
Looks like this now
For value, cant fault rotary so i got another for beater duty. Well i cant wear a watch in work, but outside of, wear one all the time so its every day wear uses. Some i just wear more than others really, dont have any for best or for special occasions. As i am fairly clumsy………i cant invest too much into a beater watch. It would burn my head out scratching a super expensive watch so i would only keep it in the box. So i just have a hand full i wear when i want basically.
Another newer daily wear which got a couple of marks on straight away.
I never heard of that brand before. Definitely my style for sure, especially the newer looking one. I’ll do some research on them. Who knows, I may end up buying one
Yes, very good value that, they usually go for around £100-£120 ish in the UK for that model back a couple of years or so. Certainly worth $70 if you like the look. Here you get a life time guarantee as long as you send the watch off for a service every 3yrs and get it stamped. Its dolphin waterproof, by that it means you can swim and dive all day. http://www.rotarywatches.com/en/the-rotary-collection/waterproof
No i dont work for them Having had many different(1/2 decent) brands, many steamed up or somehow let water in………….these have never missed a beat at all and one has had a real hard life.
I've owned all prices of watches including a black and stainless Rolex Submariner. And these Invicta's espicially if the have a swiss movement be it automatic or quartz have always given me good service. Probably got 12 and have had as many as 25 or 30.
I'm to watches what most of you are to these lights. lol I'm learning but still have a way to go. I'm a quick study lol
I have always enjoyed watches Terry, even from younger years casio watches(you remember those great calculator ones from the 80’s?). Then i went through a good few years of going naked…………watch-less. The rotary(chrono) served me that well i never really took much interest for years until recently. Then decided to get a fresh one without the beat up look….
Flashlights is another story, thinned my heard now to around 50, most modded or custom with the minority being factory. Be it drivers,leds,triples,quads,titanium to bare ano. Pretty much have most my illuminating needs covered. Boys and their toys………….all fun :+1: ……………and practical of course
Lol drives my wife nuts but she's a sweetie and puts up with it. My guitars is where she starts drawing the line. 2 years ago I bought a Martin. wanted one all my life. She said you've earned it, biy it. lol then she saw the invoice where I ordered it. lol that look was pricless.
