Yeah, don’t like the numerals on the tribute. The whole thing feels just off. You know what people want? They want the 3705. Change something very minor, so the original remains special, but don’t f it all up.

Yea I’d take a 3705 reissue in titanium to alleviate weight in smaller wrists

I know some are not ‘Dink reissue fans but they do put out some nice pieces. This Dato is a great looking watch and not crazy $$$ for a column wheel v clutch movement w an interesting historical dial. I like.

Ridiculous publicity for a restricted release.

I like the design and the size. I'd wear it. But there are tons of watches I'd rather have for $7,250.

New Hodinkee Collaboration w/ TAG Heuer

Post by Jeep99dad » Tue Feb 23, 2021 6:32 am

That is actually a really good looking watch. I dig it. Price isn’t crazy for a collab and in house calibre though I’d prefer a 5-6K price tag

I know I've said this before, but these Hodinkee collabs must be mostly pre-sold. I could be wrong, of course, but I find it really hard to believe that they sold 250 Tag Heuers at $7250 a pop in an hour or two.

BTW this LE is still available for $6450 with the same movement, and is even better looking IMHO:

I believe 125 of the 250 were available on Hodinkee while the remaining 125 were allocated to Tag Heuer Boutiques.

Thanks, still skeptical that 125 would sell out that quickly but I guess it's possible.

It's not a Hodinkee collaboration, so I assume so:

Hodinkee sells it in their shop because they are an AD.

I don't like their business model but their design choices are showing basically every manufacturer that it's not that hard to make a watch that isn't total crap.

There's already two of them for sale on eBay for $10K :lol:
Two watches. Two posts. There's a symmetry to it that appeals to me.

I loved the skipper, and missed on that by waiting.

I really like this one unexpectedly.

But I cant believe it sold out immediately.

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now

"Half of the 250-piece run are available today with complimentary, worldwide delivery from the HODINKEE Shop, and the rest will be available at TAG Heuer brand boutiques in the United States and Japan."

I'll bet a lot of them are speculators. Either folks who are trying to make a quick buck like our ebay friends listing it for $10k or people who plan to leave it in the box in the hopes that it will increase in value over the next few months or years.

Probably. This sort of stuff is slowly eroding my enjoyment of this hobby.
