    Don't you think these are quite good looking....

    Dropped by the Tag's boutique during lunch time, and found these two interesting...

    Calibre 17

    Name: 17.jpg Views: 142 Size: 62.3 KB

    Size 41mm, Boutique only edition, with no display back

    Calibre 18 (there was an article on this piece some 2-3 weeks back A Blog to Watch)

    Name: 18.jpg Views: 127 Size: 85.7 KB

    Slightly smaller at 39mm, and this comes with a display back, though nothing too impressive to look at...

    Side by side for comparison

    Not cheap though, MSRP above US$5k.

    But they are nicely made, and I especially like the calibre 18 piece.

    I like the vintage vibe. I guess they use the Heuer logo to attract the WIS

    Nice find. The blue sub dials look great. Although, $5k USD is a bit much for me to buy one.

    Did the calibre 18 look different colours depending on how the light . I see pictures from a sliver colour to a golden colour on t'internet.

    The Heuer logo is working on me. Never been a fan of the TAG on the dial.

    Very nice. I'm sure you can get a decent discount off MSRP - you usually can with TAG.

    Nice. I particularly like the boutique-only one, with the red accents.

    Agree totally. I think there are certainly options given the price that are asking.

    It has a silvery sun-burst dial, and depending on the angle and the lighting, it does give off a different look. But not golden for sure.

    Yup. Her initial response was No. But after some chatting, putting both on the wrist, admiring, she said she could try asking if I was really keen. I wasn't ready.....so I didn't pursue.
