Im in the market for a new watch, budget wise upto 4k, I must say the Carrera keeps calling me, what would you choose, or what do you have as personal choice?


TAG Heuer
Breitling
Omega

Vintage Heuer or vintage Omega ?

The Breitling Navitimer is a beautiful watch, the blue dial on a blue leather strap is my personal favourite.  2010 RRS TDV6 3.0 Autobiography - Stornoway Grey
2006 RRS TDV6 2.7 HSE -Java Black
2008 BMW 3 Series 2.l
2006 BMW 5 series 2.l

you could get one of these for 4k if you look round

Omega by a long shot

breitlings look too fussy

Tags bracelets were very cheap feeling on ones I looked at, though I believe the latest models have improved quality

@Cossiedave-Nice, but i want to be able to wear it most of the time, without the worry of being mugged.

@Npinks- Agreed the tags have got better as my mates new one is so very comfy.
Yes Omega is very nice to.

I'm really happy with my Breitling Super Avenger

Nice,I was looking at this a few days ago.

i wear it every day mate, a lot off people think most rolex are copies lol

Tag all the way!! Subtle and understated (bit like my RRS )

Serious note, their after sales care is fantastic and the watches are great. All comes down to what you like at first glance I think.  TDV8 Java Black, Overfinch 22s

@CossieDave, what put me off, its a very well known watch (lovely don’t get me wrong), but three guys knocked at a neighbour’s house just two weeks ago, pinned him down in the hallway, took his watch and run.

Now the police recon he was spotted out, and followed home, the trouble was he was pinned in the hall, so he couldn’t move or fights back, as one guy approx 20 stone covered his mouth while kneeling over his chest.

Its kind of put me off wearing that type of distinctive watch, or at least restricts the times i wear it.

@ Alex, i cant stop putting on the Carrera Rs that my mate just got
but i need to keep my options open

thats terrible mate and puts you of wearing a nice watch, might have to get my longines out and start wearing that for a bit

I would choose Omega out of the three brands you mentioned, here is one I picked up recently. It is well made and feels solid

 MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

2012 3.0 SDV6 Luxury gone, but a great motor
