Hi,

I went to the TAG Heuer AD in NYC and really loved a lot of what they were selling. After looking through the listings on C24 I see tons of watches I'd be psyched to own and could be perfect daily drivers.

I see tons of hate towards them on some forums but I don't get it - what am I missing? Is it the quality isn't great? The actual "mechanics" are sub-par? Seems like given their history they should be up there just below the big boys...

Thank you, Fed and the team! My first purchase from the dealer market was a great experience—the process was very smooth and I really enjoyed the prompt responses.

I ended up pairing the watch with an original Tudor alligator strap I had from another piece but never used, and it fits the aesthetic perfectly. Hopefully, this is the first of many more to come!

FTW community (and Fed obviously) - does anyone have any info on Anton Suhanov?

A buddy of mine was rocking a beautiful chrono and gave me his name but there's limited info and even more limited watches available for purchase.

Thoughts?

Hey ya'll, this thread is a follow up to a discussion we had during the live stream on Sunday. We discussed spinning up a group watch, customized for us as Delray did with Tourby a while back. Fed had generously volunteered his time to help us source a manufacturer and facilitate the project.

Fed perhaps you can give us a little color as to the procurement process and time from order to funding to delivery?

I think the best way to kick this off is getting a list of people interested and understanding what their maximum budget would be for their watch. If we generate enough interest we can further refine the vision by voting for movement type, bracelet material, dials etc.

There is no right or wrong answer on budget, just shout out what you are comfortable with if you would like to participate. I'll kick it off:

1) Josh B - $7,000

Just wanted to drop a quick note and testimonial for the site and purchasing experience. I wasn't planning on buying a watch (but I always remain open to it) when I opened the dealers market. I had the SM300 on my "want" list for a while now and saw a great example (it's still there as of this writing).

The purchase experience was simple, including my speed run learning curve around Zelle and realizing that wire is just the way to go. Fed & team were super responsive. This was well-packed and overnighted and I just took delivery 30m ago. Very easy experience. Watch looks fantastic.

Pro-tip: Count the links! This watch has -exactly- the number of links I need (I could pop on an intermediate for a little breathing room). I could've made a rookie mistake, but instead it was only a learning experience.

I'd highly recommend the service and will be buying again.
