Premium / Heritage branding

[BobSaunders]

Dear all,

I am making my first forray into more premium branding of watches for general day to day wearing (office and meetings, and bar and restaurant usage) etc.

I've had my eye on a Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 16mm DD CV2A1R.BA0799 for some time, but upon discussion with a close friend over the weekend, he does not see Tag as a heritage branded watch compared to Breitling, Rolex, Omega etc.

His opinion, which is held highly by me, has made me seek further advice before purchasing.

What is your advice? save up some more for a Breitling Navitimer for instance?

Thanks, Matt
