Is the Tag Heuer Formula 1 men’s watch a good gift ? Any other suggestions for a Max budget of 1k?

I think it’s a nice first watch for someone who isn’t into watches yet. I just got a Tag Aquaracer for my assistant (would be his first automatic). Also check out the Longine HydroConquest.

I rarely recommend this, but at this price point you could probably find a good deal on jomashop.com. Go to their Men’s watch section and set the price filter to $500-$1000 and you’ll literally see hundreds of options. You’ll be able to find some things at 60%+ off that gets you more bang for your buck. Just know that the discount is driven by the watch not coming with a filled out warranty card.

Brands That are comparable to Tag at this price point are: Oris, Ball, Alpina, Frédérique Constant, Baume et Mercier, Maurice Lacroix, Seiko, Raymond Weil, Tissot, and Hamilton.

I’m not a fan of tag, and believe there’s better options in your price range. I’d look at Oris, Hamilton, seiko, and Tissot.
Oris makes some fantastic watches, and you will be hard pressed to find more value for your buck than Seiko at that price range.

The lower end Tags are very solid watches. Got this 2000 series a year after college (22 yrs ago), my first decent watch. It’s still almost like new, never had an issue, super reliable.

Hello does anyone have experience or know of a case where a team or at least a group of people moved together to another employer.

For context we are a strong developer team that has been saddled with less than ideal migration with a vendor that is really not up to scratch and a big chunk of the team is not ok with that. So I wonder if there is a precedent of people just moving in bulk.

I really like this look and thinking about buying but talk me out of it. Feel like IWC has so many different watches, there’s a surplus in store, it’s bronze not gold, and may not hold its value like Rolexes do. What do you think? Is it worth it.

I’ve noticed that some silver Rolexes have a bit more luster/sheen than others and I can’t tell if it’s attributable to age, whether they’re SS vs. white gold, or a combination of both. Appreciate any thoughts.

Question about white gold watches:
I've been fantasizing about the day I can afford a PP 6119G (which is still likely a few years away). Like with other jewelry, does the white eventually wear away to yellow? I assume it can be replated(or whatever the usual jewelry process is too get it back to white), but does that impact value at all if it's not "original"? I love the white/grey look of that watch, but curious about long term wear considerations
