Just picked up my Cosmonaute this weekend as a 10 year anniversary gift. I was sort of torn between the Cosmo and the Tag Heuer Carrera but decided to take the road less traveled.

So far I'm adjusting well to the 24 hour dial though the minutes are a touch hard to read due to their being 2 marks in every 5 minute interval. Something I'm sure I'll learn to cope with though.

Must stop staring at watch and get some work done....

I'm finding exactly the same thing with mine - I thought it would be the hours that would confuse me, but it's the minutes that are doing me in. But hey, that's just an excuse to stare at it longer :lol:

Congrats and welcome to the fold.

SURELY there should've been absolutely ZERO contest between the gloriousness of the Breitling and the ordinariness of the Tag!! :wink: Welcome aboard and congrats on making the right choice! :thumbsup:

I will say this, I do like the Tag Carrera!

In my opinion it's one of the best looking pieces in their collection.

If you include the infamous Car and Driver "gotta have it" factor (does BMW have to win everything?), there really wasn't much of a contest. It was just convincing myself that I was worth the extra coin.

The Tag is a beautiful watch, it's just not a Breitling. ;)

Thanks for the friendly welcome fellas.

Another welcome, and also congratulations! Of course you're worth the cost difference!
