Title: hard decision making time again !
Post by: Biokclub on February 28, 2014, 12:32:55 PM: After spending weeks reading this ADDICTIVE forum, finally decided to cre8 an account n post smth..
I owned a Tag carrera 1887 41mm and a Tag monaco calibre 12 both leather straps. Planning to get a third watch wif steel bracelet. Currently looking at:

1: Omega seamaster aqua terra 38.5mm steel bracelet
2: Rolex DateJust 2 41mm model 116334

Both caught my eye and can't stop looking at em recently. Any opinions from all the taikors here regarding both watches?

Post by: theseira on February 28, 2014, 01:01:39 PM: Not a fan of both models. But if I must pick one no matter what I'd go with DJ2. Also ..... I'd get rid of the tags.

Post by: jason_recliner on February 28, 2014, 02:05:39 PM: Aqua Terra. But I'm biased - loving Omega right now.

ya, somewhere around there.
while a vintage datejust can be found around rm6k+.
best of both worlds for less than the price of a DJ2 :P

Use photobucket, easier to post images. Read this too, http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php/topic,1228.0.html.

Post by: farhanbh100 on February 28, 2014, 08:23:07 PM: hey there sir tag fan

being a dj2 owner its inevitable for me to suggest it.. needing no further elaboration on y dj2 over aquaterra, i only c 2 reasons to swing over to aquat,

water resist greater than both ur tags n dj2
significant price value over dj2, at least initially..

regards..

Post by: dpkong on February 28, 2014, 10:44:53 PM: The wider bezels on the 41mm DJ2 never looked quite right to me.

Post by: dualcarb on March 02, 2014, 01:24:44 PM: My most humble opinion is, try them both on...then make your decision based on how the watches feel like on your wrist. Although I don't have an AT, I do own a speedmaster pro with SS bracelet. My thoughts on the differences of that watch compared with my 40mm Milgauss is...they are both different watches. They look, feel and carry differently. I also own a Seiko GS SBGR083 and while it oozes quality and workmanship (I love the watch btw), putting the Rolex on feels like driving a Volvo. Pure solidness...you know you can knock the hell out of that watch and it will keep going. While I don't own a DJII, and I know that the Milgauss a little heavier, in some ways, they are very similar watches...so here is my take...DJII. Omega makes great watches...but Rolex is pure solid-ness and tough-ness...

Post by: Biokclub on March 02, 2014, 02:07:46 PM: Just went to try Aquaterra on my wrist…it looked smallish even its the 41.5mm model…perhaps im used to the size of monaco that's why i feel its kinda small on my wrist…anyways gonna go rolex and hopefully they let me try DJ2…neva went in a rolex store before, perhaps they will scan my entire outlook before they let me have a look tim…hahaha

Congratulations! That is a stunner. Nicer than the Rollie IMO, better styling, better movement, and MUCH better value. In other words, you made the right choice. Enjoy your new watch!
