The 2254.50 is a discontinued classic and is rising in price. Grab it if you can get a decent price.

I had an Aquaracer full black and the crown stripped twice on it. I’m not all that impressed with Tag’s quality so I’d go with the others and get the Omega.

Get the 2254.50 if you can. My 2254.50 is 10 years old and still going strong. It has been through all kinds of activities including many dives.

Omega. No question. IMO that tag is a sub knock-off.

Funny..so I went to the store to look at the omega. It was in pretty good shape, but it ran for about 5 minutes before it crapped out. Couldn't get it started! They're watchmaker opened it up but didn't know what the problem was..I took at as a sign to keep my beloved aquaracer haha :)

If you like the Tag keep it.

I would chose the Omega personally.

I have both watches and the Omega 2254 is by far my favorite of the two. As other post said the 2254 is discontinued, and still very much in demand.

I like omega but I hate the helium release valve..Keep the Tag. It's a great looking watch. I might pick one up myself... I like Tags..

I would keep it, especially if you "love" your Aquaracer. Omega is great but just not my cup of tea.
