Seamaster quartz or Aquaracer auto

I'm having a really tough time deciding which to keep. I like the seamaster but dont care for the yellowing of the painted markers..what do you guys think??

Seamaster quartz all day long. The markers are not yellowing, that is the C3 Luminova that Omega uses...best available! I had the exact Tag, now I have this and will never buy another Tag:

Having owned both makes and still currently having an omega, my vote is omega all the way.

I'll be the one dissenter. I'd prefer the Tag as, Omega or not, I'm not a fan of "high end" quartz watches.

Both nice, but I'm giving a nod to the Tag in this case because it's an auto

If my 2254 were quartz, it'd probably get more wrist time (as a weekend watch). And I love my 2254. So I'm going to have to go with the Omega on this one.
