Well you are asking the question on a Breitling forum! :lol:

Conventional wisdom will say that the Breitling is a 'better' watch than the Tag, but ultimately, you should buy the one that you are happoer with when they are on your wrist - that's where it's going to live.

The Breitling cause it has a timeless design. Tag is a modern design which is nice now, but maybe in about 5 years not the design you want anymore.

And ofcourse is Breitling tha shit.

The pic of the 'Ling doesn't do it justice at all.

It's a far more imposing watch in real life.

Also a timeless design which will be good in years to come.

The TAG is nice enough but it comes down to personal taste.

The Tag looks like it came out of a Christmas cracker.

A couple looks at the pics Ron posts of his Evo will make the decision very easy for you.

That was a very restrained response from you there Roff! I'd have expected some "Hurlers" kind of comment............. and thoroughly justified it would've been too! :wink:

Having owned 2 Tags I can safely say I will NEVER own one again. The auto Aquagraph gained horrendously and was far from a "timeless classic" in terms of design, and the quartz Aquaracer I had as a knockaround watch was a little flimsy and certainly built no better than a Seiko. Oh and I think they suffer a bit image-wise - a bit Chavy if I'm being honest! But in the spirit of inclusiveness I'll say "each to his own"................. but really you should obviously buy the Breitling! :wink: :D
