Tag Heuer Moonphase - any good?

hi all

I very much like the dial of this watch, esp. the moonphase. It is a Tag Heuer 188.205 Edward Heuer Lemania Chronograph for the brand's 125th Anniversary (1985). From what I have found there are 4 refs with small variations.

Anyway, I am new to the hobby and wanted to ask if anyone knows about this ref and/or Tag Heuer more broadly. Basically I'd be happy to buy it but want to make sure it is an ok ref.

The picture is just for reference, I have seen prices at around $1300.

Thanks!

Hi, I don't know much about Tags but this one looks like it has the 1883 lemania movement in it, effectively the same as the omega 1866 used in speedmaster moonphases and closely related to the famous 861 / 1861.

I've got another model with an 1883 in it, it's a reliable and enjoyable movement, and it's nice you can get that kind of pedigree in non- omega examples which can be quite cheap in some cases.
