why buy from watchesofswitzerland? Crazy lol should buy from sincere and hourglass to build RS, so can build up RS to buy more expensive watches.

Unless the discount is really damn good la

Hmmm. The last sentence was what the thing that make me got the watch there..

Tag heuer brand is widely acknowledged due to marketing and is known to have that bit of resale value too. Aquaracer has wrist presense too.

But tag heuer done alot of price increase and discount cuts....

So i would rather you buy omega/tudor/sinn/breitling/baume mercier instead.


And tag is usually worn as a cheap luxury watch that people use as a beater until it gets alot of dings.

Anyway, c60 is a connoiseur watch, its not really a luxury watch per se...so really hard to compare.



Its like having preference for junghans/nomos over baume mercier/maurice lacroix

Srsly I agree with the price increase part.. Tag heuer's pricing has been ridiculously high for the past few years.. Just look at their formula 1 series. 2k for a quartz.. 4-5k for a carrera. Top up a bit more can get an omega alr. Don't rilly like sinn's designs. Tudor black bay will be my next watch when I come out to the workforce!!

Haha, but problem is Idk how to explain to him that I don't really like the design of the aquaracer anymore.. thats why I went for a c60 instead. I hope the charcoal bezel is a right choice tho. Else return shipping exchange for a black bezel very mafan picked charcoal cus I don't want it to be like an exact copy of a submariner/aquaracer/seamaster..

Where got mafan better than sg, buy wear 1 day change mind cannot return; may not even let u exchange! This still let u return and they pay for your shipping.

7K after discount will also be >$5K. I wouldn't spend that amount of $ on a Tag when there are much more better options.
If you don't mind preown, 5K+ to 6K can get you some very nice watches.

MTM NIGHT OPS BLACK VULTURE MILITARY WATCH

•SOLID TITANIUM WITH BLACK DLC PLATING
•660 FEET/200 METERS WATER RESISTANT.
•FOUR LIGHT MODES.
•RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM ION BATTERY RATED AT 10 YEARS
•QUARTZ SWISS MOVEMENT WITH LARGE DATE WINDOW
•ANTI REFLECTIVE, SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL - WITH ULTRAVIOLET PROTECTIVE COATING.
•UNIDIRECTIONAL, SOLID TITANIUM , RATCHETING BEZEL.
•LOCKING, SCREW DOWN CROWN AND PUSHER.
•CARBON FIBER DIAL.
•SUPER LUMINOUS INDEX AND NUMBERS.
•CHARGER AND USB ADAPTER INCLUDED
•3 YEAR WARRANTY.
•LIMITED EDITION, EACH WATCH INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED.

In the evolution of the MTM Pro Ops Line of tactical watches, the NIGHT OPS VULTURES represent a milestone in ingenuity and engineering.

The original edition Hawk employed a lighting system never before utilized in a military watch of any type.

Both the multi-mode lighting system and the Swiss quartz movement were powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that required nothing more to re-charge than placement on the charging stand.

The new edition BLACK VULTURE represents another leap in MTMs technological innovation.
The former VULTURE lighting module has been updated to 4 sequential light modes which now include a multi LED strobe and an ultra-violet light frequency mode. The former 316L stainless case has been replaced by an aeronautical grade titanium for strength and lighter weight. Previous editions utilized a PVP ion deposition plating over the stainless substrate. The plating has been upgraded to the ultra premium DLC, Diamond-Like-Carbon, available on few watches at any price.

Re-charging is as simple as connecting to a laptop via a USB port or other DC supply; or via an AC wall outlet with either a 110 or 220 voltage supply.

With an all titanium case, scratch resistant DLC plating and rechargeable lithium battery, the new BLACK VULTURE soars above the rest.

A omega better choice over Tudor.
Even a zenith is a better choice IMHO

"Even" a Zenith?! Good heavens, Zenith is vastly superior to either!
Bad choice of words?

 

[StephenHawking]

wow very interesting. thanks for sharing.

You are welcome. I think a lot of people would be happier spending their money on this sort of watch...particularly when servicing time comes around. And you can bet that nobody else in the office has one....

Too dull and small for my liking. Consider perhaps the Explorer 2 (16570 / 216570)?
