The mail room at school was finally open today, so I was able to pick up my newest ebay purchase, a used Tag Heuer Formula 1. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I've taken some decent pictures of it-

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The round case it came in is in pretty poor shape, not exactly sure how that even happens...

There are a few minor scratches on the bezel, and the rubber bumpers on each side have a few scrapes, but otherwise it's in pretty good shape.

So all in all, I'm really happy with it. It fit perfectly out of the box, so I didn't have to take out any links, and the looks have really grown on me. Obviously a non-chronograph Formula 1 isn't the best Tag out there, but I liken it to buying a Ferrari Mondial. At the end of the day, you've got something unique, and you can still tell people you've got a Ferrari. I'd say it was worth the $250.

That watch is sick and I'm officially jealous. Nice purchase.
