welcome aboard anyway :thumbsup:
-
thanks..
any recommended watch which better than this??
-
depend on your budget, whats the max you can pour out? if you have a watch u always dream of, start saving for it now it wont be any late, at least an automatic watch, unless u prefer a quartz
many swiss brand have below 3k watch, such Ball, Oris, Tissot and etc..
-
nw, by budget around 3k++...
last time i bought Tissot chrono, but once problem take time n money for service..
nw want to try TAG..
n need others opinion..
-
all watch take times to service and repair no matter what brands. It all depends on your budget and your desire. We can help to recommen but we need more input from you such as u prefer automatic o u prefer quatz movement. sports model o classic model? etc etc....
-
if u go 3k budget , go other brand better thn tag.
-
Go for Jap brands - value for money!!

true, i prefer 100% SEIKO rather than wearing those TAG outside but SEIKO parts inside. Another Swiss Made watch below 3K is Davosa.

Please don't stereotype all Tag Heuer movements are using Seiko's.
The only movement derived from Seiko is caliber 1887, where Tag Heuer has outright purchased the IP rights from the Japanese.
With all the parts are made in Switzerland, it is qualify as Swiss made.
But to declare to the world that the caliber 1887 is an in-house movement from Tag Heuer, this is misleading to the public.

I personally worn a tag heuer carrera chronograph as daily wear few years back. I do think the quality is good though. Never encounter any problem before .
Why not go for pre own carrera if u add 2k more to 5k ?
-
alot of new n fresh member was attrack and mislead by the brand. so they always TAG TAG TAG, if rm3k is your max budget then i will also prefer to get a seiko, at least all fully made by a brand. hahaha.
if you consider a preown, then omega speedmaster is a good option can consider.

I own a Tag grand carrera, I believe that if you consider the purchase value and the resell value, big brands such as Rolex is the outright winner. But looking at the quality of Tag against other brands at the same price tag, i personally prefer tag over others.
-
At same price range, I felt some other watch made better watches
ball, damasko, Tudor...
R u comparing it with the above?
- material
- finishing
- toughness
- accuracy
- warranty
...,

thanks all for your opinion.
currently,all my watch collection are japan brand Seiko, Citizen, Orient ....all automatic movement.
this time, want to try quartz movement for swiss watch within the budget.
i chosed Tag F1 for the sport design..
any other suggestion??
-
For swiss made quartz, i rather go for luminox's...
-
anyone can comment,hw about Tag accuracy and toughness?? compare to others..

Accuracy? Quartz are all the same.
Toughness? Sinn and Damasko.
-

for tag quartz model.... mights well get some internet watch brand with mechanical movement n play....
stowa, steinhart, zixen, laco, lum tec, dievas......

I can't really compare material as they're mostly stainless steel and i don't have the technical spec sheet of what stainless steel they use, the finishing is brilliant, the design as well, compared to IWC portofino at that price range (approximately 17k), I'll prefer Tag, because i myself have compared it on the spot before. Accuracy and warranty wise i have no idea, but since its chronograph, i believe the difference will be microscopic.
-
St steel range from no standard light feel one to industrial grade like 304 to 316 n 904
Titanium also have its grade....
They are company who produce or using newer and superior st steel, with surface or whole steel hardened...
But if all the above make no different to u
N u like tag design n think they hv better finish product then go get it...
Afterall in Malaysia, wearing a tag giv u a status! Jus bit lower than rolek!
-
how about Tissot ? the T-Touch range is sporty looking and comes in titanium, the accuracy is less than 10sec a month (once read it somewhere) ;D or the motor GP chrono which looks good IMHO
just my opinion :thumbsup: more importantly choose the watch which makes you smile even in the sleep :laugh: :laugh:
-
Tag F1 is not really my kind of watch, but hey, it's entirely up to you as you're going to be the one wearing it. Keep you options open though, you'll never know.
-
I have worn the Tag Formula 1 first gen quartz entry level watch some time ago. The quality was not too good as the rubber guide beteen the crown peeled off. It looked bad when you wear it.
I have another Tag Grand Carrera calibre 6. The quality is much better but it was pricy tag of its brand name.
In short, don't go entry level Tag Heuer F1 with 3K budget. You can choose other brand like ORIS formula series, BALL etc.
Like one of our bro mentioned, spare more budget and go for a better watch sych as pre owned speedmaster, carrera chrono, ....
I understand also this is kind of the personal taste and hard to pick for other brand name unless you have no other choice.
Good luck with your choice. :thumbsup:
:Cheers:

very personal opinion, tag is just too commercialise and mass produced. U will be better off to save a bit more to get a omega or rolie if you want 'more recognition'. But if u want a reliable swiss watches, there are plenty of brands like tissot, oris, epos, frederick c, raymond weil, hamilton, mido, ball, luminox etc to consider. But again, thats just me. I just dont quite like tag.
