The Tag-Heuer

The Omega

I LIKE this Tag-Heuer !! However, it is one of the few current Tag's that I do like.

I have no Idea about the "feel" of the Tag, having never handled it in real life. I've looked at it in shop windows though.

To be honest, it looks like a slightly smaller Speedy pro, with some of the features I'd like to see on the Speedy pro ( automatic & date ) It would be EVEN better if it had an external Tachymeter ring though :-)

The Speedy ( this particular model that Mark has selected ) just doesn't do it for me. It is simply not "sporty" enough.

Finally, I have no ideas about the prices, but assume that this isn't a consideration in this comparison.
