This has been out a very long time.

I think I saw it a year or so ago.

It’s pretty nice looking.

I used to love TAG watches.

Kind of itching for one again.

With so many options in this world I'd not embarrass myself wearing a look-a-like watch. There's no need for that. One can find honest pieces in almost any price range to wear proudly, and a copy is not one of them. IMHO of course.

There are many Seiko submariner "homages" so i dont really see the problem with this.... again i wouldnt buy it but i guess there is a market for it
The TAG isn't a homage.

The Seiko's aren't homages either.

Steinhart and MK2 are homages.

That TAG has been out for a lot a lot of years. Don't think anyone was trying to copy anything.

Honestly it doesn’t look hardly anything like a BLNR but it’s just as ugly

Now all Tag has to do is don’t give any of their AD’s any of them and people will flock to buy them

BLNR Look-a-like

This thing is ugly. Most of the TAGs aren’t built like they used to be either.
