Hi guys,
I own a TAG aquaracer chronograph, Im currently thinking to buy a TAG Carrera Chronograph tachymeter( black dial). The question is, do u guys think it's a nice watch or is it really necessary to spend around 2500.- to buy a watch which is similar to mine and only has water resistancy of 50Meters. Or should I wait for another watch.

pls help me out, thanks!!!!

Curt.

One Tag is enough... I would say branch out a bit.. maybe something large, or something gentsy. Something different than what you have though :)

A Super Avenger would be a decent choice haha.. :lingsrock:

If you like the 40 mm size watch, I would spend a little more and go with a Rolex Submariner or an Omega Speedmaster. Both have classic lines, more durable construction, better water resistance. For a beast a little larger, and I mean REALLY large, go with the Breitling Super Avenger. Same water resistance as the Rolex and Omega, but it has a HUGE presence on the wrist!

If water resistance is an issue, get a Rolex Sea-dweller, or a Breitling Seawolf or SuperOcean Steelfish.

Yeah, I'm regularly found at 2000m under the sea putting my Steelfish through it's paces! :wink: (If it gets splashed when I wash my hands it's a rarity!! :wink: )

I don't know about Sea Dweller owners, but I take my Submariner to the deep end of the pool quite often. I even do charity work with it on, like feeding some of the locals!

Thanks for comments.

I love diving almost as much as flying. I've got several hundred dive pictures from all around the Caribbean!

Brilliant pics, Brian!

I'm toying with the idea of a Submariner these days, classic look of a classic watch.
