Debating between these two, although the Omega's are growing on me more and more. It'll be my first watch of this magnitude.
Go for the Omega. It is a stunning watch. I have an Omega Deville - a classy, understated, elegant timeless watch. I bought it for myself as a belated Christmas present in January 2010, having spent at least the previous three years drooling over it. I haven't regretted it for one minute, and wear it daily, with a nice, understated dark leather strap.
While I absolutely love my Tag Carerra, I'd take the Omega Seamaster first.
Agree completely.
For myself I'd choose the Omega because it's understated, elegant and wearable for any occasion.
They are both excellent watch companies however and I've owned Tag in the past. The choice is really up to your personal preference.
My thoughts exactly.
Which isn't necessarily a bad sign - why change an excellent design? I just love my regular Speedy Pro. Can see myself buying the Alaska though but not quite sure about white dials.
Ah, twietee, as so often we're in agreement. Precisely. It is the enduring classy timelessness of the Omega that makes it so attractive.
That's true of course. Josh220 should definitely try them out in real. Personally, I'm not too fond of both models posted. They look somewhat overloaded imho. And for me a Seamaster needs a Navy strap.
Yes, a solid, beautiful piece of elegantly stitched leather. I agree.
I just made almost this exact decision. I love that Tag, but everyone I talked to that knew timepieces said go Omega. So I did.

And, again, I'd say you made the right choice.
Great watch! Love to wind it up every single morning. My only concern is the contemporary bracelet....it looked better before imho. But it's also one of few items that look actually better with a black leather strap and white seams. Going to get one this christmas probably.
You'll enjoy it - especially if you have been anticipating, or planning to treat yourself to one for a long time.
