What would you choose?

[mx stu]

I'm after a bit of 'newbie' type advice if anyone would care to assist. I currently have two watches in my collection (wow-wee I hear you say), a round face Raymond Weil Tango which my parents bought me for my 21st and a TW Steel Canteen which my wife bought me as a wedding gift and which I wear as my 'daily'.

My 30th is rapidly approaching and to mark it I fancy investing in an extravagant timepiece. My plan is to ask for cash from family and then top it up (I say top up, I'll probably put the majority in) and have been looking around the £1,500 mark. I'm torn, at present, between an Omega Seamaster Professional and the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Ceramic Chronograph.

What would you choose and are there any pro's and con's of each? Also what are peoples suggestions of similar watches that I should perhaps may not have considered?

Thanks in advance.

Out of those two, the Omega every single time. IMO the Tag's simply aren't worth the money and ultimately you will be disappointed.

Are you looking to buy new or used?

Thanks for the prompt reply Chris. I know that people advise you get alot more for your money if you buy used but I'm leaning towards buying new.

That was my thoughts on the Tag so it's good to hear that from someone else.

I wouldn't write-off the TAG. You'll be the one wearing it, not anyone else, so I'd try both on (probably more than once!) and see how I'd feel.
