I'd be more tempted for an Omega than a Tag personally, everyone has a Tag now days, Omega is the true conesoirs choice

My bro has one, its a stunning piece of kit. No doubt he will be along soon.
Go for it, it really is super. However, as said earlier try it on- some watches do/dont suit you.

Omega is to Rover what Breitling is to BMW.

Personally would avoid Omega, don't like its association with James Bond, somehow it has ruined the brand image for me.

I like the retro Tags, but having had a cheap Tag in the past I'd be worried about longterm reliability. Hopefully the more expensive ones are better, although I don't think price is always a guarantee of quality.

Breitling, would be where I spent my money, unless that is I could stretch the budget, then its an IWC Aquatime all the way.

I thought this was going to be a picture of a stickered up Porsche!

You sometimes find you get fleeced about £70 to change the battery on these watches.

Tags are too common(just look at the number of owners here)

Omega has a poster of ***** Brosnan looking camper than Millets as its headline. He looks ridiculous.

BTW did anyone spot the product placement of IWC in 'Lucky number slevin'?

you can't compare the movements in most Breitlings with the co axial ones in the Omega planet Ocean and the build quality is miles short of someone like Panerai ( similar cost )

I have a Tag Monza 'Calibre 36'.

Very pleased with it. Understated bling. Not like those huge ugly Brietlings

Good memory.I still think Omega lacks that little bit of quality,but they do have an excellent reputation.
