Post by: swleong on January 18, 2011, 11:30:14 AM: In my layman perception, Tag is always 1 (if not 2) grades "higher" than Oris.

If you like both designs, and the watches are priced similarly, go for Tag.

Post by: Sheng on January 18, 2011, 12:37:28 PM: Yup go for Tag Carrera. The best looking imo for Tags so far, other than the Monaco. Then again it depends on your style and usage occasions plus your impression of both brands firstly.

For the price of the Carrera you can actually get an Omega PO, if you like Omega, which is again imo an even higher grade than Tags.

I would always prefer Tags over Oris somehow. In my mindset Tags are related to golf and racing while Oris are related to superbikes.

Post by: Angryrodent on January 18, 2011, 12:57:26 PM: i'd go for the Oris.. but then again my Tag Suuuuuucks and is probably far from normal tag standard... love my Oris tough n hope to buy more models in the future :) Since Im mainly in2 vintage.. Id advice you to buy an old Heuer.. beats both Oris and Tag Heuer :Dancing_banana:

I have 1 Oris and 2 tags. Experience so far, the Oris (BC3 but before they became High Mech with the red rotor) great, Tag (1500 series and F1), 1 ok, the other suck big time.

Title: Re: Need Advice btw ORIS and TAG
Post by: Kziest on January 19, 2011, 10:33:59 PM: Highly appreciate for all the advice.. :thumbsup:

I have seen both Carrera and William F1 at the same time, both are gorgeous
really hard to pull the trigger on it. I agreed with the comments bout TAG
it's so called higher grade than oris... as for OMEGA it don't suit me now
because my aged was still early 20's.. :D

However I really need to try on both to find the answer for myself also
hope that price quoted will not exceeded my affordability.

Post by: Coco on January 20, 2011, 09:33:16 AM: Between these two, I I like Tag more.

Post by: kaka23 on February 11, 2011, 02:38:48 PM: If want Tag.. better buy within these few days before price increase! :P
Title: Re: Need Advice btw ORIS and TAG
Post by: rioet on February 11, 2011, 03:08:28 PM: i gt both, juz share with u some personal info

oris, is tough but heavy compare to tag. can wear it for some hardcore activity. price oso should b cheaper compare to tag. but if u plan to resell it later then the resell value is much lower than tag

tag, lighter than oris. if you wan to buy a more known watch then this is definately a good choice. but i have encounter the calibre 16 is not so stable. i dont know others have the same experience o not.

lastly if you have a budget to get tag carrera (estimate RM10k), then i personally suggest you can consider IWC pilot. a range that is much higher than both of them and the watch is really nice, price should be around rm13k+

tag carrera auto chrono

above all this
for pure tough - damasko & ball
damasko famous with super hard case..... black coating even harder... scracth resistant :thumbsup:
ball, may look more dressy.... but with better shock resistant and anti magnetic and wr. and the thick solid bracelet is best in industry to me! the tritium is to die for if u never hv 1!

for dressy
tag & seiko
seiko with much better movement, vertical clutch and column wheel in house movement. worth every cent u pay for...
tag u got to pay for tiger's lover.... :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:

for design
oris since i dunno where to put this.... spec wise, loosing all out for its price! but sponsor f1 team.... so mayb u like to associate urself with f1

A fellow vintage fan. I'm with you on this one. :thumbsup:

Post by: siodee on March 30, 2011, 12:44:44 PM: Regardless of Oris or Tag, both are good watch, just follow your heart, which one you like best. After all, you are the one who always wear it. But once you become watch addict, pretty sure you will buy more in the future for collection... :Dancing_banana:

Well, in that range, U could get yourself an IWC. Well, just me, as I dont really appreciate on Omega, and sorry for making that statement, just some personal preference.
Title: Re: Need Advice btw ORIS and TAG
Post by: kokies on April 07, 2011, 12:38:51 PM: IWC for RM10k ? Better go for it if chrono. But i have had a couple of Seamasters & Speedmansters, they are OK to me.
Title: Re: Need Advice btw ORIS and TAG
Post by: chrisyen on April 07, 2011, 01:23:06 PM: summary for u

Title: Re: Need Advice btw ORIS and TAG
Post by: siodee on April 07, 2011, 03:55:48 PM: I like this "for u, get what u want to wear" :Laughing_on_floor:
Title: Re: Need Advice btw ORIS and TAG
Post by: kokies on April 08, 2011, 01:57:51 AM: I think Ball or Sinn is good, design is very unique.
Title: Re: Need Advice btw ORIS and TAG
Post by: Angryrodent on April 17, 2011, 01:04:40 PM: Im with Chris on this one... we all have our standards etc.. but in the end "Value for money" is something deeply personal. As he said buy what you want to wear. You're already in trouble planing to spend that much and belive me, it will not end you'll end up with both sooner or later (the thing is it will make you happier unlike other poisons)
