Watch Opinions
First of all please do not degrade this into a this watch brand is better etc 
Just want opinions on looks
I already have this and love it as my day to day watch
have the op to spend between £1000 - £2000 on another watch (vouchers)
Seen this and like it
would wear it as an alternative to match my mood
Is it tooo similar thou ?
Thoughts?
Dave.

Are you frightened of change ?
If so buy the same brand your used to, and an almost identical model.
If you are feeling bold buy something total different.
Flavour of the month at the moment for me...Untitled Document
I like the Hydrocarbon series.

Thanks for the comments ...
I like the tag style - not frightened of change -- but most others I like are out of my current price range. And I have not seen anything totally different that "floats my boat" yet.
The ball watches are interesting but just not me ... dunno why
I have seen this in the Omega range
saying that I like this which it is also outside my price range
I am limited to new - I like the re-issues but I can only buy from Goldsmiths
I may just wait and see

Looking at your three choices I would take a guess that your ideal purchase would be a Rolex Daytona but the price and wait is not favourable.
You like Chronographs, you like a busy face and bezel, but you dont like your bezels to rotate.

Not everyone has an expensive watch sitting in the safe, some people actually wear them and enjoy wearing them.
I know I do.
Some people can stare at a fish tank for hours on end and they feel its theraputic...I do the same with watches, sounds sad and daft but thats how it is.

summed me up
I do also like the daytona but it will be out my price range for a while - maybe I will consolidate watches later on
M444GY --- How much have you spent on your car ?? I have a company car now and the money I would of spent on it goes into something else ... Do you wear designer names at all?? You are paying for something you like --- nothing to do with anyone else.

I take it you've cashed your Tesco vouchers at Goldsmiths? Clever man!
If ya look at the Grand Carrera it looks far better IMHO in black with black leather strap, £2300 IIRC?

Nice choice.....I am shocked you didnt stick with your chronograph face though.
What are you going to do with a bezel that rotates?
My wife has a 3/4 size SeaMaster in blue, and I have a PlanetOcean Chrono in orange.

Dunno about the bezel, is there a manual for what I should do with it somewere
Was a bit worried the at the bond tie in was a bit tacky - but unless you look close you dont see the 007 on the end of the hand.
Different to the Tag and I like it
so maybe next time something more different
