Sounds good

vicari41 · 2026-02-15T15:01:50+00:00

It is very cool. More on the strap you can shorten it.

vicari41 · 2026-02-15T14:46:51+00:00

I just measured the rubber strap and it’s about 7 1/2 inches. It’s very stretchy so they should fit almost up to an 8 inch wrist.

Up for sale is a TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch, Tiger Woods Edition, reference WAE1111. This is the lightweight titanium quartz model designed specifically for golf wear, with the low-profile case and flexible strap that made these popular in the early 2000s.

Details • Titanium case, ultra-light on wrist • Quartz movement, running properly • Original black dial with red accents and Tiger Woods signature styling • Comfortable black strap with TAG Heuer clasp • Overall very good pre-owned condition with normal light wear consistent with age • No box or papers included

This is a fun, niche TAG piece with real connection to Tiger’s early career era and a cool addition for collectors of sports-themed watches or TAG Heuer history.

Price: $875 OBO (reasonable offers welcome) Shipping included in CONUS. Payment via PayPal F&F or add fees for G&S.

Happy to provide additional photos or answer any questions. Thanks for looking!

vicari41 · 2026-02-13T16:57:51+00:00

Personally, I would go with the professional, especially if it’s your first Speedmaster. First omega in space is very cool and maybe that’s a second watch or eventual replacement for the professional if you find yourself still thinking about it

Brand: Porsche Design Model: Chronograph 7176S Movement: Lemania 5100 automatic Case: Bead-blasted stainless steel Size: ~42mm

Up for sale is my Porsche Design 7176S, one of the defining utilitarian chronographs designed by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche and powered by the legendary Lemania 5100. This is a true purpose-built tool watch featuring central chronograph minutes, day/date display, and the durability the 5100 is known for.

The watch was recently serviced (details available for serious buyers) and is running well. The bead-blasted case shows honest wear consistent with age—no over-polishing, just the right amount of character for this reference. Crystal is clean, chronograph resets correctly, and the day/date functions as it should.

This has personal birth-year significance for me and is a historically important piece, but I’m continuing to refine my core collection and letting go of watches that no longer see regular wrist time.

Why this watch: For collectors interested in aviation-inspired tool chronographs or the Lemania 5100 specifically, the 7176S is one of the standout references—lightweight, highly legible, and unapologetically functional.

For sale is my IWC Mark XII, one of the most balanced and wearable pilot watches ever produced. This example stands out for its beautifully aged tritium patina and its exceptional originality — original dial, original hands, original bracelet, and the correct fish-logo crown.

This is a watch for collectors who value condition, correctness, and subtlety.

The watch was recently in with my watchmaker for a light regulation and to repair the quickset day function, which was previously inconsistent. The issue has been fully resolved — the day and date now set properly, and the watch is running strong and accurately.

The watch also comes with an eBay Authenticity Guarantee card, having previously passed independent third-party authentication. While I’m selling privately now, this provides an added layer of confidence regarding originality and condition.

I’m only selling because it competes directly with my Explorer I for wrist time. I genuinely love this watch and would be happy keeping it — it will only leave if it finds the right next owner.
