Hello Forum, I have been lurking, reading posts, and finally decided to share my story. being a hardcore F1 enthusiast and even a racer in the past, I have always been a TAG Heuer fan. Still have several TH watches that I like and wear, but almost accidentally bought a PO 8900 last Fall, and it changed something in my DNA. Don't get me wrong, I still like TH watches and wait for them to create something less stupid than a Super Mario-themed tourbillion, but I feel more and more that Omega pulls me in, like a black hole 馃榾 I am still above the Event Horizon, but with my second Omega (Speedmaster Moon phase), I feel that I am getting closer and closer to the point of no return. Should I seek a professional help? .. probably from my AD? 馃榾
Here is how my collection of TH looks, hope that Omega collection will match. Cheers!

There are some chronographs in your collection that have been on my radar for a long time. I think you鈥檒l find that Omega and Tag chronographs coexist very nicely in a collection, and the Speedmaster rabbit hole鈥ell鈥t鈥檚 just that.

Speaking of Tag and Omega coexisting together 馃槑 @TheorPhys may enjoy knowing (If they didn't already) that the Tag Heuer Forums is a sister site to Omega Forums.

https://tagheuerforums.com/

Your OF login information will work there as well 馃憤

Very sharp collection btw! The Monaco is such a classic and I know of a few members here that have some as well!

I've seen him around over there, only confusing thing is his thread title but no Omega in sight in his post.馃槜

Nothing wrong with having iconic watches from two brands. Those new "glass box" Carrera chronographs are sweet. Wish I could get one.

Could not agree more. Thinking very hard about the new black glass box. Tag, Omega, and probably Breitling have done such a great job lately of revisiting their classic catalog and updating them in some truly gorgeous ways.

To tell you the truth, this is how I migrated to Omega forums - from TAG. It was a downhill after that 馃榾 Thank you for the compliment to my collection. Cheers!

Yep, thought about the new Carrerra as well, but I already have Heuer 02 Autavia flyback. Except for the bezel, there is not that much difference, but Autavia has more F1 heritage.

Yep, agree. That B25 Datora from Breitling is sooooo tempting, as well as Super AVI B04 Mustang... But first things first, I still have an unfinished business with Omega 馃榾

Keep in mind that time dilation keeps you on the event horizon forever. The more you speed up, the slower it goes by.

馃榾 great point. What I may add is that the time will extend forever only for me, but for an external (non-Omegian) observer, I could, and probably might already be gone into a singularity 馃榾
