·That twin time is a good looking time piece.
Any other TAG fans ?

·The Tag Heuer Carrera 1887 is the one that got me started into mechanical watches a few years ago, before I discovered Omega...

·I have a Carrera. It is the watch that got me into watches. Nothing inherently special about it from an engineering or aesthetic point of view, but I still smile when I see it sitting in with the rest of my assortment.
I’m on the hunt for a gold Series 1000, should anyone have one...!

·I've always loved the look of a lot of TAGs and the brand has a great history with some truly excellently designed watches. Today, though--and admittedly I don't have a lot of hands-on experience with them--the ones I HAVE handled don't impress me much. I know someone who was recently loaned a current Carrera chronograph model (brand new) and the way the chrono second hand herked and jerked all over the place was shocking to us. This is a $4,000-something watch (MSRP, anyway) and was certainly not impressive and certainly not good value. Still, I like several of the Heuer (not TAG)-branded vintage-inspired models. If the Autavia had a slimmer bezel and was priced at $1,000 or so less than what it is, I'd be tempted to grab one. As is, most TAGs I find appealing are priced at a point that I'd rather just buy another Omega or something else if I'm spending that amount of money.

I have more Tags/Heuers than omage - I ‘love’ both brands and tend to alternate between the two with watch purchases. Overall I have to agree that some Tags are a bit underwhelming and don’t feel quite as ‘high quality’, nevertheless I do really like the Monaco and Carrera ranges, especially the vintage reissues. Incidentally there are 6 chronos in my collection. 3 Omega and 3 TH/H. The one which has ‘wowed’ me with the smothest chronograph seconds hands? Well I was surprised too, but it is not made by omega.

·I've not owned a Tag for some time, the last one was an Aquagraph and I think the quality of their dive watches has went down hill since then.

·I've always liked Carreras. Having owned many TAGs over the years, I'm really impressed with the Autavia and how good their in house movement is.
I tried this on last weekend at my AD. What a fantastic piece, I like it better here with the strap over the bracelet, which combined with the polished case, was a little bit too "blingy" for me.
