Re: Omega much better than Tag, IMO!

Not sure which one is better but I could not live with my seamaster 300M chronometer diver. 1. It had way too much text on it. 2. The Omega logo and wording was metallic which was not always visible especially in the shade. 3. It was deep blue and pretty heavy. 4. I wanted something more clearer and clean cut.
So, I returned the seamaster and ended up going with a Tag Carrera. I understand that the coaxial movement from Omega is probably is the best in the world. I know the quality on that watch was incredible. I just think that the looks were way too understated. I personally think that Tag may not be in the same league on the mechanical quality but their designs are really nice. In the end, I want to like to look at my watch. Just my two cents.
