That TAG was the first “nice” watch I purchased. It accompanied me through most of my college years, lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons during the summer, concerts, my first “real” job, etc. I should get a new battery for it. Cheers!

Mine are similar, I had some other watches when I was younger, but the TAG Heuer F1 was also for me the awakening one. This was my first F1, back in 1988. I bought this one in 1991. Thanks for sharing your memories. Vte ...

I love the black/green second generation series 1 i.e. exposed steel case. I think that for a lot of watch guys, the Formula 1 is the 'gateway drug'.

I have been looking for a new one for years now and can’t seem to find one. I to wanted one 25 years ago but parents thought it was excessive for a young kid. Any advice on where to look for one?
