sconehead 5 Posted March 27, 2009 Just looking at this for my first Tag. It's quartz I know but then so is the gen. Seeing as I golf most weekends this time I'm willing to make an exception for a 'ticky' watch. I've sourced it from one dealer up to now for $140 shipped. Can I get a better deal anywhere else? It doesn't mention a boxset, I'm not bothered about that but I know the 'TW' models came with one. Here's a rep v gen comparison... GEN REP REP caseback Obviously with the different lighting in the pics it's hard to judge how close the PVD is. Also the date font looks a bit off and the date window seems shaded on the rep. That may again be down to the lighting as the rep has a bevelled window just like the gen. The caseback looks to be close to the previous models but I couldn't get a view of this PVD model's on the Tag site to compare it. The watch looks more than passable to me though, what do you think?

alphakazi 0 Posted March 27, 2009 not bad - I like it - the crown on the left side is interesting. What do the buttons do? From the pic the rep has a green color to it - could be lighting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted March 27, 2009 The buttons release the caseback which in turn is basically a clasp which grips the band. The crown is on the left so that it doesn't dig into your hand and interfere with your golf swing...not that it'd make much difference to mine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted March 27, 2009 I voted nope - I like Tags, but this one doesn't do much for me. Also, the rep photos suggest that the rubber strap might be a dust magnet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sconehead 5 Posted March 27, 2009 True Greg, my gen Breitling rubber collects dust, they probably all do unless they're completely smooth... edit: tulip means yes as well, it's my poll so I make the rules... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True - although some are worse than others. edit: tulip means yes as well, it's my poll so I make the rules... I figured that'd be the case, but I don't like to be completely predictable B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sconehead 5 Posted March 27, 2009 Agreed Onze, but I was thinking of it for when I golf, which is nearly every weekend, as that what it's designed for. My normal beaters, an SMP or SFSO, really do dig in sometimes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AllergyDoc 40 Posted March 27, 2009 I've been meaning to get one of these for my dad. He's a golf nut, plays 3 times a week and would probably play more if mom would let him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted March 27, 2009 niblick. iron-headed golf club with steeply angled face, for playing out of bunkers. Golf-retard... Golf is most boring "sport" ever. Can't even imagine myself playing it at 68. TAG is good looking watch, I'd say - very elegant, but PVD??? I'd never buy any watch with PVD. Buy it, not a big money. I guess I can get it for much less, but as I said - no PVD for me. Maybe they have SS model? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted March 27, 2009 Golf isn't a sport but it does take skill. Having played it a little, I can appreciate how difficult it can be to play it well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General concensus has the V1 as being the closest to gen. You gave me two links to dealers you use a while ago, J***a and W****n will these be able to source it cheaper if I drop your name, or is there someone else you had in mind?

jameo210369 0 Posted March 27, 2009 I like the dial but that strap would be a nuisance, I believe golf is a nightmare for your watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
