Reluctantly I’m selling my Tag watch which was bought for me as a gift a couple of years back. It’s a “dress” style watch which I only ever wore in the evenings, when going out; or for special occasions. It’s still in great condition and thanks to the sapphire coating on the face, it doesn’t have a single scratch after years of use! All the original leather gift boxing comes with it, along with the warranty card and manual.
Aside from general minor wear that’s visible from the pictures, the only real concern is that of the inside strap wear there’s some cracking on the strap where the leather meets the metal clasp. (see pic below) Straps are relatively inexpensive so hopefully this wouldn’t present an issue for the serious buyer.
Interested buyers are able to drop by at my offices in Fourways, Johannesburg to view the watch if they’d like.
I am the MD of Mantality – hence using this account to sell through – so you are assured this is not a scam and is the real deal. The proceeds from the sale of this watch will be put toward an engagement ring for the Missus, so you’ll not only be securing yourself a luxury timepiece but also helping out a soon to be engaged couple. ;)
If I was a serious watch collector or privy to buying watches as an investment (and all that would entail), I wouldn’t dream of selling! Sadly though, I am neither, so it’s time for this watch to find a better home.
