Great reliable 7750 movement and great design. The only issue I've ever heard is scratching the aluminum bezel as there's no edge to protect it. But that's a small issue and wear & tear shouldn't be a huge concern.
The resale is not much compared to current prices which are out of hand.
It's a looker for sure.

Cheers Dan, your thoughts are much appreciated.

Basically I am looking for a nice watch I can wear when I am out with my friends drinking or othewise would be a little concerned about wearing either of my Rolex watches. Having owned Omegas in the past and my Rolex watches now I can't bear to go back to a cheap watch. That said I am looking for something cheaper than a Rlex of course.

So my thinking was this Tag (one of a number of possible options). As you say a nice looking watch, not cheap, but if it gets the odd scratch or little nick on a drunken night out it won't bother me too much.

Mark,
Bet you can find a preloved chrono for a good price.

Hi Dan

If I could find a pre-loved examle of this watch it would be ideal. Sadly not a lot has come up on my searching in the UK for one.

For any TAG, I would recommend getting it pre owned... Because the resale value on these things are atrocious. The Carrera ia a beautiful watch in person. I was going to get one but then I got a speedy instead.

My other option is the Speedmaster - would you suggest this is a better watch than the Tag?

I have that exact watch, and I like it a lot.

Bought it about a month ago and got 35% off at an AD (you shouldn't have any problems to get that sort of discount).

Retail is 3400 but you can get it down to 2400 easily.

There are a few things to be considered: it's a little heavy, looks a lot bigger than 40mm sport rolexs (mainly because it's got a thin bezel), and the bracelet is very thin considering the size of the case.

Also, it's harder to adjust perfectly than Rolexes because it doesn't have an extender etc.

I usually wear it with black T-shirts or dark shirts and it looks great.

I also like the Speedmaster but the Tag looks better on me.
