What Longevity?
I made the decision to purchase this watch from a brick-and-mortar authorized reseller, since I was willing to pay a bit more for the factory warranty (and Amazon charges NY sales tax anyway). Big mistake.
In the first six months of owning it, aside from running a bit fast, it looked great, felt solid, and had no problems. Then the date stopped flipping over- it would bind up between the numbers, and require manual adjustment every day.
So, like the good little consumer that I am, I brought it into my authorized Tag Heuer dealer, warranty card in hand, and they sent it off to Switzerland. I get a phonecall about two weeks later saying that the top pusher for the date wheel was broken, and that Tag would not cover it under warranty, as I must have dropped or abused the watch. Meanwhile, I have babied this watch, and it looks as good as the day I bought it. Tag Heuer wanted $240 to replace what is likely a single, tiny part that should be covered under warranty anyway. I told them to go scratch, and am taking it to a friend's jeweler, since it's obviously not worth maintaining the Tag Heuer warranty anyway.
I should have known better than to buy an LVMH product, as the company is so obviously evil. I was contemplating purchasing a Grand Carrera, but in light of this experience, I'll probably get a Baume & Mercier instead. How Tag Heuer/LVMH has the gall to sell a "luxury" product that can't stand up to six months of intended use by a member of the intended demographic (young professional just starting to spend real money on timepieces) and then refuse to stand behind it is just beyond me. It's almost as bad as when Mercedes tried to charge me $350 for an oil change.
Awesome looking watch, but runs fast
My wife gave me this watch for Christmas, and I have to say that it is a stunning looking watch. Very classy, simple design, not too "busy", and very elegant all at the same time. I love the shine it gives off and the size and weight of it are perfect. HOWEVER, the reason I don't give this watch 5 stars is because it seems to run fast and apparently all (or a lot of) automatic wind watches do this. It's not super fast, but it seems to gain about 7 seconds per day, which at $2,000 bucks, it shouldn't lose or gain time.
Watch Review
I was a little nervous about spending this much money on a watch over the internet, but so far I really like the watch. The list price for this watch is $1900, and most retails will come down a couple of hundred dollars. However, ordering through amazon was a lot cheaper. I would suggest going to the stores first to look at watches, and then order the watch you like through Amazon.
