Getting this watch wasn't an easy task.

At first I ordered the watch from a friend who works with a TAG dealer who gave me 50% off retail. When the watch arrived I noticed it to be not new - the bracelet looked like it was re polished and poorly polished as well. Ofc I asked for my money back as it was obvious my so called "friend" tried to make big profit by fooling me, sadly for him - no success.

I then went to an official store that works with the official TAG dealer in Israel. They needed to order it from Switzerland as it was out of stock in Israel. The new watch arrived a month later, this time as it should be, new with plastics on. I examined the watch with a magnifying glass and found what seems to be a small hairline scratch or a small hair (very tiny) caught under the sapphire on the 6 o'clock. Being so tiny, I couldn't take a photo that shows it with my iPhone camera. It only shows with a magnifying glass under a very bright light and at a certain angle. I decided not to be too patty but asked for a price decrease due to the defect. After a lot of negotiating I got the watch for 50% off retail. Only this time it's a new watch and not a masked pre owned one.

Later at work (I work at a ROLEX AD) my boss helped me to size the bracelet with the tools at our store. He wasn't very merciful and sadly left few tiny scratches at the sides of 2 of the links. That said, it barely shows. No one will notice it but me, and I guess I can say this what makes this watch mine and scratches on polished surfaces would come eventually - sooner or later. The important thing is that the watch is brand new, looks perfect (apart from the tiny things mentioned above) and was a great deal.

It looks beautiful and is definitely a nice addition to my humble collection.

Great thanks to all for the greetings! Have an awesome week!

Nice watch - it reminds me of the Nautilus with the white garage door dial.

Looks good indeed, congratulations and don't worry about scratches you can only see with a loupe, all watches have them and it's a part of the game.
