Re: Omega much better than Tag, IMO!
In Response To: Re: Omega much better than Tag, IMO! ()

I also agree that Omega has a better history and prestige than Tag does. I would put Omega in the same class as Rolex. It is just that when you are looking for a modern, great looking watch Tag does a great job.

: 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.
