TAG HEUER THINK TWICE

I have dreamed of owning a TAG watch forever. My delight when given a TAG connected after 30 years of service. Only for it to last just over a year. I cannot fault the professional service from Gateway branch. The watch was sent away. Johannesburg agents saying they are sealed and cannot be repaired. A trade in offer of R4000 on a selection starting at R45000. I'm a teacher! I responded to the email and have heard nothing until today when the Gateway branch followed up. My present watch, a Rip Curl, has been going for 23 years. A TAG, not even 2 years. Clearly not the prestigious time piece I've always believed them to be.
