I bought mine from goldsmiths and got a hefty amount off which i was quite shocked at. The manager took over from the dopey bird that was serving me and i got £200 off.

Had a quick look on there website and they dont list the one im after so not sure if they do it!

Been looking at a few websites and found it elsewhere, this seems to be the going rate for them aswell! Everywhere ive found so far that sells them is listing them at the same price!

Anyone got any further ideas?!

Dont quote me but im pretty sure all shops have to avertise at the rrp but they do knock a bit off obviously that depends on where you go.

I must say if i was buying another tag again i would rather buy second hand as the do take quite a hit and take some time to gain value.

Im hunting for my first rolex at the minute, will defo be going second hand!!!

Hold the bus mate!

I'll send you a contact. The guy can be found in the watches section of PistonHeads.

I bought a TAG F1 Chrono recently with both rubber and stainless straps and for about £200 under list.
