Tag Heuer For Christmas
Are you looking for a gift to give that can be enjoyed everyday and not break the bank? Here we have three superb pre-owned Tag Heuer watches which offer high recognition value as well as everyday durability. We always stock superb examples of Tag Heuer watches.
The watches:
Tag Heuer 2000 quartz, £595, Tag Heuer 2000 quartz Chronograph £795, Tag Heuer Kirium F1 £795
See also:
Omega, Rolex, Breitling
Vintage & Prestige acquires and retails the finest pre-owned wrist watches, handbags and accessories including branded jewellery, pens and other fine objects.
We celebrate Christmas by displaying some of our acquisitions in our Vintage & Prestige advent calendar. Because all of our items are unique by definition, we cannot guarantee that items will be available for sale at the time of the advent calendar’s release, as we photograph in advance and items may have been sold in the intervening period. We continually add inventory so if the item is sold, we may be able to source another and would of course be delighted to discuss your requirement and suggest alternatives.
For 2016, Vintage & Prestige are also celebrating with a festive raffle. All purchases between 1st December 2016 and 21st December 2016 with a value over £1000 will be accompanied by a raffle ticket. The raffle prizes are a £500 voucher to spend with Vintage & Prestige, a Mont Blanc pen and a Tiffany & Co. keyring. Please contact us for details.
We are always on the look out for new stock, so if you are considering selling items similar to what we have in our inventory, please let us know. We regularly part exchange against items we sell.
We will be open throughout the festive period until 23rd December. We close between 24th December and 27th December, operating skeleton hours until 29th December 2016 and closed between 31st December 2016 and 2nd January 2017. Normal hours resume from 3rd January 2017.
Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5
What gift would you like to open this year? Funky socks, a beautiful Tag Heuer, or both?
We have two Tag Heuer Carrera dates in stock. Opting for practical steel with black dial or rose gold and steel with slate dial, both of these watches feature a sapphire glass display back so you can see the Calibre 5 movement. Representing outstanding value for money against new RRP, there’ll be plenty of change left over for the socks.
The watch:
Steel Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5, reference WAR211-A with box and papers dated 2014 £1295
Rose Gold and Steel Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5, reference WAR215E with box and papers dated 2016 (still under warranty) £1995

Diamonds Are Forever | Diamond And Gem Set Watches
With the festive season fast approaching, Vintage & Prestige highlight the value for money offered by extreme luxury watches in the secondary market, with a focus on ladies diamond and gem set watches.
A walk along Bond Street, Brompton Road, Fifth Avenue or Avenue Georges V, will no doubt witness some incredible diamond and precious stone set watches at eye-watering prices. These pieces are often unique, and at the very least limited in production, whether as a stand alone limited edition or special edition or likely as not, limited by the number of buyers prepared to pay the price tag.
Buying in the secondary market offers, in the main, an opportunity to purchase at significant discount. It is quite common knowledge that diamonds are traded, that diamond rings and jewellery have a lower trade in value in the short to medium term and this principle applies frequently to watches as well. However, once bought, pre-owned, the value will, likely as not, remain relatively consistent in the short term.
We will not discuss diamond dials or bezels, rather jewellery pieces which make a statement of their own. Equally, aftermarket or custom diamonds have a place and a debatable add on value, but again won’t be covered here.
We focus on some of the pieces we have acquired and are proud to offer for sale.
Diamond And Gem Set Watches
Take Van Clef & Arpels. One of the world’s most famous and sought after haute joalliere, we have on offer the heavy and large diamond set rose gold dress watch which retails for £20,000. Our price is £5995.
Similarly we have sold and have for sale a range of Chopard Happy Sports which feature diamonds floating within the dial. All of which offer a significant saving over list price.
Our Cartier Tortue features one of the most stunning cases and movements we have seen, and for sale, as a full set for less than fifty percent of equivalent retail, which would be £40,000.
Equally stunning, and recently arrived is our Pierre Kunz Cupidon, which will be discussed later, but the saving is immense. Last known to sell new at £40,000 we’ll let you do the maths!
The majority of diamond set watches have little sign of use, by definition these are dress watches but at our secondary prices, so use the saving over new prices to go on holiday and be the envy of others with your choice of time keeper.
Inspired By Films | The 1980s Part Two
Given the usage of brand to demonstrate social status, films of the Eighties regularly used costume and wardrobe to delineate class and aspiration. Eddie Murphy was well known to wear a yellow gold Rolex Day Date President in his private time, a superb choice whatever the decade, but in Beverley Hills Cop he wore a digital Casio. We don’t sell these but we do like them rather a lot, in all iterations. In Beverley Hills Cop II a Patek Philippe Gondola is featured prominently, yet again highlighting brand and wealth as worn by the bad guy Maxwell Dent.
Watches In Films
Two of Tom Cruise’s greatest hits of the Eighties were Cocktail and Top Gun. Risky Business was also amazing, but the star was that awesome Porsche 928. In Cocktail, when Tom Cruise’s Flanagan starts to earn well in Jamaica, he wears a steel Rolex Air King, one of our favourite watches of all time. Understated and reliable, any steel Rolex wears well, especially getting air time on a mixologists wrist. When Coughlin marries into wealth, his choice, unsurprisingly, is a gold Cartier, which today has a retro class as opposed to the brashness of Coughlin and his “law”.
In Top Gun, theres a lot of online debate about editing issues, and it does appear that Top Gun pilots can change their watch before taking off. The film’s stand out watch is a Porsche Design Military Chronograph, by Orfina. An utter design classic which dates from the ‘70s, Porsche Design chronographs also feature prominently in The Professionals, as well as on Lewis Collins’ wrist in Who Dares Wins. We have similar for sale, albeit in titanium rather than PVD.
Weekend at Bernies is the daft comedy that has a Marmite following. We like Marmite. Bernie, the crooked insurance fraudster wears his Rolex Day Date throughout the film, until is is “inherited” by Andrew McCarthy’s Larry Wilson and is indeed considered waterproof. If you don’t get the reference, watch the film again.
Back to the Future gets a mention because it is utterly awesome, we all love a Delorean, and the Casio Calculator, no matter how cheesy, is one of the horological icons of the 1980s. Andrew at Vintage & Prestige loves his, and allegedly still has the receipt from 1985. In this case, the box and papers may make a difference, but its irrelevant, apparently its not for sale, although its rarely, if ever, seen on his wrist.
