RWebb can probably bring you up to speed.

Sniper, I think this ones for you, pretty nice just a little busy. Goes well with Porsche.

Yeah, they're giving those away. You could buy a nice Porsche for what that costs.

I'd pay $50.00 for it.

LOL...

BeyGon 01-01-2010 01:16 PM

Well, IT is used.

Christ, A. Lange & Sohne. One of my favorite watchmakers...if I had a spare 75 grand.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm not concerned with resale value. I'm interested in wearing a watch that I like. The Omega is very similar, but its a bit more rounded and bubbly than the Tag.

I bought my dad a Tag dive watch (basically a Submariner clone) about 10 years ago. He is an avid fisherman and outdoorsman. The watch has taken collosal abuse and never missed a beat.

Unless the wife springs for a Rolex Milgaus, I'm probably going to go with the Tag.

BeyGon 01-01-2010 02:00 PM

OK Snipe, here is a cheaper one for you

I like Tags and as long as you like it you can't go wrong, you are wearing it. But then I like everything.

I love cool watches, but I am Cheap (note the capital "C"). I just can't imagine dropping thousands of dollars on a watch when Invicta, Citizen, Seiko, etc. have very nice watches for $100-$300, if not less.

The moon phase dial is handy for werewolves...:rolleyes:

I'm a fan of the abuse potential of Tag Heuers, as well. My older one is now 20 years old. It's an inexpensive Formula 1 model, which I bought for about $160. I think the modern equivalent is about $350, now.

That would be good for sniper when he is out hunting.

My '06 Interstellar Mk 1.0625 Wahtsch watch: doubled-down, heavily modified kryptonite crystal, KIOSK certified. This is an extremely fast watch that can only be worn for 4 minutes without a wrist brace:

If i had a spare 75 grand i'd buy a really, really, really nice car and put my 928S back into daily driver mode.

Well, actually, i'd invest it in real estate, ie a house...but if i'm dreamin'...

LOL
