: Has anyone heard of this set? 5 Aquaracer-based
: watches commemorating 5 different F1
: racetracks. I saw a set and had never heard
: of it and wanted to know if it's legit,
: rare, or what?! This one is #130/300.
I remember a set of 5 but this was several years ago, before the Aquaracer was introduced. There were five Chronographs in a limited edition (Can't remember the number of set's released, could be as small as 150 or as large as 500, or I could be really off). Basically the same chronograph case with different dial combinations and a steel back with a F1 Circuit diagram for the track being commemorated. That is if I remember correctly, although, I suppose TAG-Heuer could have had a variety of Quartz, ETA-DD, and 7750 movements, now that I think about it.
I think, one of the tracks was "Hockinheim", but I can't remember the others.
I saw a set auctioned on eBay once and as it was for the complete set of FIVE, the bidding started somewhere around $2,500-3,000 and I wasn't in the market to spend that much money on a set like that.
Sorry I can't help more. Have you considered contacting TAG-Heuer for more information?
