TAG, the Invicta of watch makers.

x zombie · 26 September 2014, 10:09 PM

I used to have a lot of respect for Tag.

Snow-Dweller · 26 September 2014, 10:17 PM

How blatant is that....

Rolexakias · 26 September 2014, 10:17 PM

Muzz · 26 September 2014, 10:19 PM

I doubt there is any confusing the two, but bad move by Tag.

kilyung · 26 September 2014, 10:19 PM

I'd stick to vintage Heuer thank you.

thewatchguy93 · 26 September 2014, 10:20 PM

I bloody hate Tag... Cheap n' nasty.. Sorry..

Dittox · 26 September 2014, 10:23 PM

A homage of a watch that was released last year is just another way of spelling rip-off!

theken · 26 September 2014, 10:26 PM

Imitation may be the greatest form of flattery but it looks more like a move out of desperation to me.
However, with a list price of $2200 and a 25% discount, should be a very saleable watch to TAG fans.

Jake B · 26 September 2014, 10:29 PM

They've moved from mimicking Omega to mimicking Rolex.

Ken B · 26 September 2014, 10:31 PM

Lol, now thats funny.

irish john · 26 September 2014, 10:36 PM

Thats nasty

zama · 26 September 2014, 10:36 PM

When they made em good.... this one has left me in any case, I know which if the two I would have.........

Jake B · 26 September 2014, 10:37 PM

They're aiming very clearly at the Chinese market, with both the date an GMT hand set directly at "8" (even though it should be at 10 minutes past the hour going by the min hand position). I bet you'd find a very aggressive Chinese market ad campaign for this one.

Psmith · 26 September 2014, 10:39 PM

Dare I say... I kinda like it

If the colours were different I doubt this thread would exist

I had respect for Heuer before they sold out to TAG.

The whole thing's a Christian Dior fashion project now.

Yes, TAG has destroyed the great Heuer history.

Oh dear.

Seiko has had a black/blue for quite a while

So have CFB (not a GMT though)

Noonan · 26 September 2014, 11:23 PM

I think it looks pretty good. Especially when you consider what they'll be available for on the gray/used market. Tag may not be the most loved brand but they make a solid product.

At least the Seiko is a quartz diver... not a replica GMT.

withthesword · 26 September 2014, 11:30 PM

Hate to admit it, but it looks pretty sharp. I think the modestly sized markers, hands, and typeface are pretty sharp.

Still, a blatant copy is a blatant copy

You're right, I meant Heuer. I guess I used "Tag" because it's the modern day jargon for the whole brand.

Nycturbovr6 · 27 September 2014, 12:14 AM

Not a fan of that

Gerardus · 27 September 2014, 12:15 AM

They rather stick with their (new) hobby, making sunglasses.
