'Thin" TAG Heuer

[ianreeves]

Hi Watch Folks,

I'm after some advice, I'm looking for a TAG watch, but have some requirements;

Leather or Rubber Strap
Date
Thin / light

Does anyone have some recommendations ? or maybe a TAG isn't for me.

Thanks

Ian

Automatic or quartz/battery

[ianreeves]

My preference would be battery/Quartz

Why do you want a Tag?

You could try going to a watch shop and having a look.

Gotta agree with Mike. Tag is a brand that people who know very little about watches consider aspirational. For anyone wanting a watch that everyday folk will recognise and say "Coo, a Tag", then they are de rigeur.

I thought you must have ingested something to post your previous comment.

Then I realised that my irony meter wasn't turned on this morning!

This + look on Chrono24 + Watchfinder - there are better value for money options available.

the advise is Ian ....don't waste your money on a second rate, overpriced watch that will be worth the same as a dog turd 3 minutes after you buy it .....TAG's are for the losers of the world who think they are winners ......dont join them

Drugs have kicked in and I feel much better

Not all of them; the Zenith El Primero and 1887 movements are some decent bits of kit inside nicely designed cases. Also the iconic Monacos, Monzas and Silverstones use perfectly decent decorated workhorse ETA movements; they are pricey of course but are close to being on a par with Breitling or Omega comparing like with like.

HOWEVER the quartz versions use the cheapest available movements, are not even TAG stamped or branded and are held in place with awful plastic movement spacers. The quartz TAGs are on the whole, terrible value for money

Want a quartz, go Breitling or Seiko. Or my favourite, the liquid fluorine-filled Sinn UX. 12,000m case water resistance...

I didn't know they use El Primero movements in TAG's ....i stand corrected

Anything with Calibre 36! Don't forget the parent company LMVH owns both TAG and Zenith...
