I'm currently in the market for a new watch. However, after months and months of research I still can't seem to decide which I want to invest in. I have narrowed my choices down from 100's to four, but I still can't seem to make up my mind and pull the trigger. I was wondering what ones, if any, you would choose if the opportunity presented itself. The watches I am considering are as follows.

1) Omega Seamaster Pro Black Dial (Non Bond version) Automatic

2) Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 Automatic

Just from the looks, and not knowing anything about the watches, I like #3.

[oldsurly]

Honestly, I am also leaning toward #3. Although it's still a hard decision. Cheers for the input.

Also, not knowing anything about watches, I like #3 the most.

Have you actually held each watch in your hand and tried it on? How did they feel? Too heavy? Too light? Too big? Too small?

Watches really need to be seen before bought. If you haven't seen them, don't even consider buying it. If you have seen it, you should know which is the best.

To answer your question, I wouldn't buy any of those. I'm partial to Omega and Tags, but those are just too busy. They kind of look cheap to me. I love my Tissot Le Locle because it's classic and simple.

kprrok, to answer your question, yes I have, hence the problem, they are all very similar in design and weight (well at least to me). I own two newer Tissots the PR50 and the PRC200 as well as some older classic watches. All great watches in their own right. I do understand how you can say that they are too busy, but I think that is the reason why I like them. I appreciate the Input.

Cheers,

They look cheap to me, from another person who doesn't know anything about them.

Number 2 is my preferred one because it's less busy and the strap is more likely to fit my oddly shaped wrist without catching hairs all the time like loose metal straps tend to do.

I'd take the Longines. Tag is way overrated for the price, and Omega's just an expensive Swatch.

But honestly, I'm a bit of a watch buff and I don't like any of those either. It's about the most ripped-off watch style in history. If you want that kind of style, I'd just get the Rolex Submariner in stainless (because it's basically the style that these watches rip-off anyways... )

There are so many other watches that look much more distinctive - and, were it may laying down that kind of coin on a watch, I'd really want something that stands out.

Just the fact that you can't decide between the three here is telling.

Anyways, it's always a personal choice - good luck with your purchase!

What's the purpose of the watch? You have two chronographs and two standard watches. Personally, I have a Swatch Irony chronograph, but I like to fly airplanes and it comes in handy for just that very purpose (as well as other time/distance/fuel consumption activities). When I'm not using the chrono, I have a very simple Swiss Army watch.

Personally, I don't really like any of the watches, but I'm more of a leather strap kind of guy. The one without the metal straps came across as cheap looking to me as well.

Just my two cents.

From those I'd take #3.


OT:

I'd get this one for myself, if it was: a) of a better brand, and b) kept better time (accuracy).

Vostok-Europe Gaz Limousine 14 (white)

This is what I have, given to me as a graduation gift 9 years ago.

I didn't like the gold finish at first but it really grew on me. i have worn it every day for 9 years and still not a scratch on the sapphire crystal and I live a very active life.

I don't like any of the ones you have posted the faces are all too busy

[SeoulFinn]

I know exactly what you mean. V-E Gaz Limo 14 is one of the best looking watches I have ever seen, and it's affordable, too! Maybe I should just stop p*ssyfooting around and order it.
