SeanusMaximus 0 Posted September 11, 2011 Some of you may know, some of you may not, some may care and some may not, but I am pretty much selling all of my reps to fund a gen planet ocean. (second hand of course, preferably from an AD/watch specialist for obvious reasons) HOWEVER... Today I stumbled across my old favourite again, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500... and now I am between a rock and a hard place so to speak... Now - in the UK, a 45mm PO on rubber can be had for around £1500-1700, and the TAG can be found for £900-1000 in SS or £1000-1200 in its PVD form. So I put it forward to you guys; choose from the following: I wont be buying till the end of the month, but your input will help sway me hopefully so that I dont talk myself out of it!

onionbag 1 Posted September 11, 2011 I've always admired the Aquaracer, but I have 2 PO reps....so I'm no help to you. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeanusMaximus 0 Posted September 11, 2011 P.O. Reasoning? I've always admired the Aquaracer, but I have 2 PO reps....so I'm no help to you. :P Haha - I have a fantastic Po rep, gen swiss eta, 45 on rubber... but every time i pass goldsmiths on the way to work i end up drooling at the aquaracer...

Member X 91 Posted September 11, 2011 The Aquaracer reps are really good OOB so I'd go for the gen PO and get a rep Aquaracer :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeanusMaximus 0 Posted September 11, 2011 Ok guys, keep the input coming - I should probably add this WILL become a daily beater, and by that I do wear my watches in bed, in the shower, literally everywhere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tags are better now, but I've always seen them as over priced, and pitched at a market segment that every sales rep and footballer fits in to. So many other nice watches around..... Still ...whatever floats your CB canoe ...........:P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corv99 2 Posted September 11, 2011 Planet Ocean for me too... Very classic shape, although I do prefer the version with 3 subdials , being a dial whore!! the Tag for me doesn't look quite right ( personal preference only) If I was having a Tag it would most probably be a Carrera but like anything your the one wearing it and it is a personal choice.

Crusader 0 Posted September 11, 2011 Aquaracer on this great looking rubber strap, what else can you wish for? This is also one of my few candidates for gen watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sconehead 5 Posted September 11, 2011 The rep Aquaracer is a closer copy imo, this, combined with Omegas brand name being a tad more prestigious would make me choose a PO...on SS of course as the rep rubber is real close to gen and as cheap as chips...:Talking Ear Off: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
