Cool watch suggestions

[D Chapman]

I hate Tag watches.

 

[pwp]

TAG rules, I have two

For me watches are about automatic movement, jewels, tourbillons, saphire crystals and how many meters can it handle (no I don't dive) all the things that make it the mechanical beast that it is. I preffer my GPS for the rest.
All of my day to day (work time) ones are quartz, but I don't even own a sigle digital one. But thats all just my bag, the real reason for the post is probably the best watch source online..............................

if you see a watch cheaper somewhere else I would be SHOCKED, not G-Shocked, just shocked. They carry a wide range, I have purchased high end from them and been very pleased. Let me know if you do really.

Bottom line is that you have to have a work and dress watch. You cant be rocking a G-Shock with a suit. So think bout that as well.

work and dress watch? NO NO NO........work and dress watchesssss

I mean band color, band material, face color, contemp/classic, the list goes on and on

 

[D Chapman]

Why do Tag watches "rule"? Because they rip off other more expensive watch designs and build them to a cheaper quality?

Right that is why :ack:

What are these other brands they are ripping off ?

-The foremost leader in almost all motorsports timing, as well as a stong presence in other sports timing.

-Decent product range for price and performance 1/10 to 1/1000 acuracy on thier watches. From quartz to automatic

-The new 36 Calibre in the grand carrara ???? first mechanical automatic chronograph able to measure and display 1/10th of a second.

-Oh and lets not forget Steve McQueen

who are they copying again ?

Who does Tag ripoff? Well off the top of my head, Omega and Rolex.

Here is the Tag rip off of the Omega Speedmaster:

Here is a cross breed ripoff of the Rolex and Omega Seamaster:

Actually, a better comparison would be the Omega Seamaster 007 and the copy-cat Tag:

Same color, same cut on the bezel, same camel hoof on the 12 o'Clock.....

 

[D Chapman]

Two-Tone?

 

[Ed Cheung]

Hard to believe, even Chopard is on their list.

I could keep posting, but I think I've made my point.

It's fine if you can't afford one of these watches. They're a lot of money. But damn, don't buy a knock off.

 

[Blueboy]

But damn, don't buy a knock off.

come on down to Canal Street in NYC if you want a knock-off.

The watch doesn't make you

especially a knock-off.

I agree a 100 percent, get something genuine within the budget, if it doesnt allow an expensive watch purchase at the time versus a fake Rolex, Omega, etc etc. Goes along the same line of thinking that a 300 Chrysler looks like a Phantom, hmm thats until a Phantom pulls up next to you. Buahahaha.

Here is a cross breed ripoff of the Rolex and Omega Seamaster:

interesting, i've never seen a submarniner with out Rolexes 2.5x magnifying date
I would preffer to see it in hand but that rolex seems to be fake

G-Shock

Hard to beat for the money.

Timex Ironman cant be beat for the money. get a compass. Tags are lame.

Here is the Tag rip off of the Omega Speedmaster:

sub dials are not even in the same location,

so every watch with 3 sub dials and tachyometer is a OMEGA knock off :rofl:

maybe the date indicator is the "clone" give away

OMEGA are GREAT watches no question, to bad TAG is copying all thier stuff,
hey one of my movados has a two tone band, bastards they copied omega too!

so in the end, I mentioned in my first post what whtches are to me and they are obviously something different to you, cheers, maybe one day I will be able to show you my favorite OMEGA knock off over a beer.

I just hope i'm not wearing my knock off blue jeans of your blue jeans

yea i used to have an omega seamaster. loved that watch. showered in it, swam in it, everything in it. bought it in high school with my saved cash. dropped like $1200 on it in the end.

was playing basketball at my parents house a couple years later. set my watch & coat on my moms car. ran down a hill to grab the ball that rolled away. when i got back she was gone. so watch my watch.

i went to the road and found the coat, but no watch. someone already snagged it!!! i was fuckin pissed that day...! lesson learned, don't buy a rolex unless you really need it or your retired. cause when you lose it/break it you'll be sorry.

The Monaco, the Carrera, the Monza - All great T.H. designs! I wouldn't call them knock-offs!

Watchmakers like A.P., J.C., and even Rolex "copied" the tank design Cartier made famous. I have an early 50's Omega Seamaster "Bumper" wind mechanical that owes it's case design to earlier watches - I would never call this watch a knock-off!

Check out Lum-Tec watches. They're designed and assembled in the US but many do have Asian Movements. Their b1 Combat Watch is great looking and has a nice large face. (Reminds you of the older Omega Railmasters in size.) http://www.lum-tec.com

You want an accurate watch get a Casio or some kind of Turbullon Movement($$$$$$). You want a show piece? Buy a O. Paneri.
