Tag-Heuer Nismo Watch
 
Finally saw a worthy(?) Nismo watch with an ETA 7750 movement. At 5k it is the other half of the twin turbo I dream of. Sorry if this has been posted before. Thought this was interesting. Fontana Nissan has it.

I'll just slap a decal on my casio

/Angelo350Z/ 05-19-2016 09:04 AM

I'll stick to my Thundercats digital watch, thank you very much.

TerribleONE 05-19-2016 09:11 AM

I dig it but would be very hard to justify the price especially since you can get a entry level rolex for around that.

hurahn 05-19-2016 09:13 AM

Damn that's clean. I don't like watches that much.

JARblue 05-19-2016 09:22 AM

Sweet watch. Pretty outrageous price though.

I found this guy on eBay:

Nismo Wheel Watch

The photoshop job makes it seem like quality craftsmanship :rolleyes:

:icon17: Nissan has 0% financing right now. See if they'll throw it in with financing on a new car purchase :tup:

The bulletproof movement and the Nismo designation makes it special for Nissfolks. For watch collectors and Nissan fans this will make sense.

barncobob 05-19-2016 12:46 PM

id be afraid of a Chinese copy, they make some accurate looking, not working watches.

EzDz 05-19-2016 12:59 PM

That watch or a turbo kit for your nismo 🤔

Omega Submariner? :confused: Maybe you mean Rolex?

I'm more of an Omega guy myself (currently have Planet Ocean 8500 and Seamaster Professional 300m). Not too familiar with Tag so I can't comment on the price. If it's an in-house movement, then the price is justified. If it's a modified ETA movement, eh, not so much.

Gonna need a lot more than that for some boost.

fanboi check in

UNKNOWN_370 05-19-2016 03:19 PM

No doubt... dopeness.

ChaseZ 05-19-2016 05:07 PM

Not a Tag fan myself, overpriced suburban shopping mall wares. To each their own, but that's a lot of cheddar for a relatively standard movement. Carrera does have some car racing lineage so I won't take that away from them, Gulf Racing has a Monaco edition as well.

That said, they should have teamed up with Tudor instead in my humble opinion.
A Nismo Grantour or THC would be sweet!

or had me make them lol.. :stirthepot:

birdman71 05-19-2016 05:56 PM

$5k for the Nismo Tag... not bad but too much for that watch at that point. If you're going to buy a fancy watch to wear on occasions and not as a daily (plus are making enough to afford a $5k Tag) save up a bit more and buy a damn Rolex haha.

My daily watch is a $600 Tommy Bahama that is awesome! Other than that I have my $3500 Tag for occasions
That watch is pretty nice though.

cigarclifford 05-19-2016 06:12 PM

:icon17: nothing like a Rolex :tup:


Go big or go home ;)

My thoughts exactly! What's next, a Ford Z/28 SS Camaro? While it is a nice watch, it is quite overpriced for what it is. That's coming from someone with a HUGE watch fetish.

hurahn 05-19-2016 08:32 PM

I looked at Rolex's whole catalog and I don't really like any of them. Could y'all throw out some other watch manufacturer names? You also talked about movement. In house, ETA? Are there others? I want to research some of this stuff. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the "carrera" line is not based on a Porsche. Carrera means race in Latin based languages. So it's just a line that was developed to target racing enthusiasts.

U are correct "seamaster chrono"... submariner is a rolex nomenclature

its titanium with 18 carat rose gold, not flashy but now a collector item as the prices indicate,,its gone up substantially in last few years but I bought it used at a great price..appreciating more than my Z is:icon17:

Lots of watches out there that has their own movement. Try Patek Philippe or IWC to name a few.

Love my Tag Nismo! I was the only one in US to have one back in Dec...

layhum 05-19-2016 09:02 PM

Here is some in-depth info about the watch.

Like njobe89 and layhum, I love watches myself, just ask my wife. Tag's have always been one of my favorite as well. One reason I like Tags is simple, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman wore them!!:tup:
