Omega Seamaster or Tag Heuer Aquaracer?
Hey TRF, I need some help in deciding on which of these will be my next timepiece. I am considering the Omega Seamaster 2264.50.00. (first choice) This is the quartz version of the Seamaster with the black bezel and dial.
http://www.omegawatches.com/fileadmi...g/22645000.gif Or The Tag Heuer Aquaracer automatic WAB2010.BA0804, S/S with the black bezel and dial? http://ww2.tagheuer.com/_images2005/...010.BA0804.jpg What do you think? |

Both are nice, but I prefer the Omega. I would lgo for the automatic Omega for a few hundred dollars more.
I have read on another watch forum that the black bezel, black dial Omega Seamaster is discontinued. Another reason to get the Omega IMO. |

Definitely the OMEGA Seamaster. Try out the same watch with the electric BLUE dial and the SS bezel....very nice.

Val, I have no experience with Tag, but the Omega is a rock solid watch.
I love mine! Great looking, extremely comfortable, and crazy accurate. I think Omega has some of the best lume in the business. From what I understand the reference has been discontinued. The rumor is an updated version may appear at Bazel with applied markers and a co-ax movement. ($$$) I prefer the painted dial and jumped at the chance. |

Both are nice watches.
It's been said before, but if you can put a few hundred more out, go for the Omega. (1st choice) Otherwise, Go for the TAG. |

Thanks for the replies guys, I knew I could count on you. I am definitely going to get the Omega, I will be putting in my order next week. I really love the look and feel of this watch, I can't wait. I will more than likely put a black Nato strap on it as well, just to be different. This will be my second swiss timepiece, I already own a s/s Raymond Weil Tango with the black dial.

Yes Val, Omega is the best - absolutely top quality and v. elegant. I would see if there's an automatic available. Quartz watches often don't hold their value quite as well. But go with what you love! Larry.
