I love impulse buys, it lets me know I'm not alone in the world. Very nice, and always a pleasure to see pics.

I bought a TAG because it was supposed to be a great watch. I wear my watch 24 hours a day. I am not gentle. Within a few months of buying the TAG I had a huge gouge in the bezel (I have the women's link ss TAG, with the smooth polished bracelet and bezel).

I took the TAG in and they tried their best, but you can still see the gouge in the bezel. Within the first few months the polished stainless bracelet looked horrible.

I bought my Rolex a year after buying the Tag. Prior to that I wore a Seiko for 8 years and it still looks great! My Rolex does have a few tiny scratches, but I have been wearing the Rolex for 2 years now. I even shattered the Rolex crystal and hardly any dings.

So, good luck with the TAG, but mine sits in a watch box at home....For me the Rolex has been great! If I buy any other watches they will be Rolex.

Hopefully you will have a better experience than I did, though TAG did send me a nice baseball cap that I wear often!

Good looking watch and looks solid too!

I really hope i have better luck. I have a GMT master II and I told the tag lady this watch is 20 years old and it looks brand new. sh claims the same for hers. well only time will tell. I am impressed of the ruggedness of this new model never realy liked the older tags

Before my Rolex/Breitling, I wore a TAG since I was about 9 years old. Never had a single problem with any of them. In fact, I was wearing my 2000 Professional when I wrecked my motorcycle. Got dragged across the pavement, scratched up the bezel, but kept ticking. I think they're great watches and don't deserve the bad rap they get. I'll post pics of mine in a tad.

EDIT: and I think the one you bought is SWEET!

Very nice watch! This is indeed my favourite Tag Heuer watch to date! Made a topic about it a while back on this forum. So much watch for a good price and a very rugged yet great looking one that will last like any others. Big congrats again and enjoy in good health!

Here's my 3 ... the Blue F1 was my first. The small one was in the accident (you can see the scratched bezel) and the other is a MOP Aquaracer with diamond markers. Love them all!

[Welshwatchman]

It looks very smart and very sturdy, congrats.

From experience thats a great watch. I bought one myself a while ago and wear it regularly. Nice, heavy, robust, all around goodlooking. I'm definitely enjoying it. Let us know your views on it in a couple of weeks. I also bought the rubber strap.

[cody p]

that's my favourite tag, congrats.

Thanks for the positive feed back. 2100 after 20% disc is a lot for impulse buy but, hey!they gave me a box of tag golf balls, a pair of tag sunglasses, and a tag polishing rag. Considering i dont play golf I say it was a good deal :)

Even though I'm not much of a Tag man, I have to admit that watch could convert me. I like the size of it, the bezel is really nice and love the fact that it has a clear back. Hmmmm.... this is the second time today I've seen this very watch. Maybe God's trying to tell me something.

How is the weight compared to your Rolex?

It weighs much more than GMT master II I would say. I dont mind the weight the only drawback somebody might find is that the Kick But crown might dig in you a bit. its a bit over sized but looks great.
