I actually really like the base model's band. I collect watches and wouldn't mind have this one but I have to be able to wear them as well as "collect" them. It would be tough the change the band on a "Limited Edition" piece but I'm not sure I could sport that orange band.

So... you wear something that you really don't like because it gets attention?

I'm contemplating between two watches right now.

Tag Heuer Carrera Tachymetre 41mm and the Omega Speedmaster Racing 42mm

I've owned a mid size Seamaster Professional (007 style) for 6 years and I love the quality. It's beautifully made. But I want a bigger watch, something a little different. I'm leaning towards the Omega Speedmaster but the Tag is looking good.. and it's almost a grand cheaper. Don't know about Tag's quality vs. the Omega tho.

I think the silver dial Tag is where it's at.



The Breitling Navitimer World is what's on my Xmas list this year.

As the name of the watches imply, I like the "sporty" look of the black or the carbon face.


Ofcourse the Omega Michael Schumacher red is real sporty but a little too flashy for my taste.


EDIT: the Breitling is in a league of it's own.

Meh, if the Omega you already have is black then you should mix it up. Think of it like a pair of shoes, you need different types for different "looks". My current Movado is similar to the Carrera so I'm lookin for something a bit different... although I really have no idea what you mean by the black being "sporty".

FYI - The one in your second picture is different.

My Omega is a mid in blue.. want a large black and maybe, in the future, a Panerai Chrono Luminor after I start a family.

I just realized it also. Silver dials and stuff. I really don't know much about Tag's except I know they're considered a "nice" watch.

Here's the entire Tachymeter line --&gt; http://www.topperjewelers.com/....html

I change my answer to this one. I still like the silver face but this watch is badass!

I saw the Hayden watch in person and thought it was pretty sick, the only thing I didn't like was the orange band. GP version looks good though.
