Different price range. If you can, go for the Black Bay.

The Tag model that you mentioned caught my attention last week. I tried it on and decided not buying it. I have Tudor Black Bay in leather strap. Can be used as a daily beater. I like the burgundy bezel. However, the Tag quartz is about half the price of the Black Bay Tudor. So, decide on how much would you be willing to pay for a daily beater.

i have the black bay and i like it too. just thought the tag quartz is easier to wear. what was the price tag do you know?

Hi

Should be about 1900 after discount.
Ya, now I remember you own a Tudor Black Bay too. I doubt you will like the Tag quartz as you have a Black Bay. Save the money to get another piece - like a Rolex.

Hi, just wondering, is there any reason to buy online instead of buy directly from them? I'm thinking of buying a leather strap from them, and i need them to change for me.
Unless Gnomon's policy has changed, buying in bulk online from them means discount savings. Buying from their outlet has no such perk.

Hmm the ceramic bezel is under the accessories section?Cant find it leh.
No my friend. Shoot them an email to enquire.

hi guys, im looking for a watch to really go bring diving....though have a submariner i dont really wanna go dive with it....budget is below 2k...currently eyeing the helson shark diver 45 bronze....any other recommendations?
Stretch a little, buy the Sinn EZM3, there's an ongoing offer @ $2160 IIRC. Or Seiko SBBN015? SBBN017? SBDC001/003? SBDC007?

iirc, the tag that you posted earlier costs around $2k plus minus. I was beo-ing that watch a few weeks back :s13:

Yes, Rolex is definitely for those geriatric 30 year old guys who need the cyclops to see the date. Those old geezers don't keep up with the latest styles.

Damn, u guys guessed my age rightly :D I am in 30s....

not sure if there is an automatic version of it. the watch seems versatile to different bracelet to suit liking. not sure if tag has different bracelets to choose/ buy from..

Steinhart's customer service sucks big times! Ask them if can send the add on a ceremic bezel to my watch order and how much to add on until now no reply :vijayadmin:
I have personally experienced that myself. They are a boutique brand with a small group of employees so you gotta ry to be patient and send a second email soon if they do not reply. Good luck.
