What do you think of my watch?
Discussion
I have had this watch for about 5 years.
From what I understand I believe it to be a 2000 (approx) model, but was old stock when I bought it.
It had been a watch I saw in a shop years ago and fell in love with and had wanted ever since, but then they changed the ladies Tag's and made them all shiny, and took away the chunky numbers and hands, and I felt like I had lost my chance to buy the watch I loved.
One day we found it up for sale from a company in USA who had bought some old stock, and I just had to have it.
I have been wearing it every day since. It has been amazingly reliable. I am not a careful person, and must bash it on something most days, but there is not a scratch on the face what so ever.
Just thought I would share, from a lady who likes her watch...

You've posted in the watch forum, easy mistake, however this thread is now about your next watch purchase.
I'll assume that TAG is a quartz, therefore you now need an automatic. They're much better as they stop dead in the middle of the night, and keep terrible time.
How's this for some big numbered low-key German quality ?

Love the sinns. Bit too manly for me though. But when I have saved up enough cash I will treat my bf to one.
So back to your 1st point... Why am I mistaken to post in the watch forum? Surly not because it's a tag! Each to their Ian and all ...
Lucky boyfriend. I'm not allowed to buy my own let alone expect the missus to buy me one. So back to your 1st point... Why am I mistaken to post in the watch forum? Surly not because it's a tag! Each to their Ian and all ...

Don't forget "and will tell you what day it isn't, occasionally in a foreign language".My Monster currently thinks it's الأربعاء after stopping at some point in the last couple of days and me setting it wrong this morning.
Women wearing men's watches is really sexy imo and there are plenty of 38mm watches about to choose from that don't look to big
.
When Tag (who were a F1 company making turbochargers) bought Heuer they changed the direction of the company product from a Omega type competitor to an image making it more a 'high fashion' watch aimed at the F1 audience.
Consequently most true wis wouldn't have anything with 'Tag' on it.....sorry
Modern quartz movements are a bit sniffed at too, even Spring Drives are a 
with some and it was Seiko who developed quartz! Early digital Quartz from the 70's are quite collectable from Omega and Pulsar and can still be bought (carefully) for reasonable money.
If you don't want an automatic how about a vintage electronic, this was my first purchase after stumbling into this sub-forum....
From 1974 the electronic movement that changed watch making and was later developed into the quartz movements of today by other companies...
This is another recent purchase which has an alarm and the first and I think only one where the auto winds up the alarm as well as the watch.
If you think a watch of 40mm is too big I spotted Mrs. Stoner wearing one of these (which is 46mm and 16mm thick) at one of the MotoGP races!
Think vintage and joining TZ-UK can seriously affect your bank balance!
