Kind of a blatant brag thread but not really meant to be.

Will be buying a new watch in the coming months and want something that in theory will last me a good few years.

Been looking at the http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/carrera/men/automatic-chronograph-tachymetre/index.lbl?w=CV2010.BA0786

Anyone got any recommendations or seen anything that looks nice recently. Pretty sure ffffeeeeeeelips and Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrprit like their watches.

Nothing like on the same scale, but really like the Storm watch I got last year, if you like something as bit different.

Is there anywhere you can get a Tag, maybe refurbed or an older model for 50% cheaper?

You looking at new new, or just new to you?

Omega Seamaster at that price point floats my boat (dum tish).

This is certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but I've worn it 24/7 for the last 10 years. It's not fancy, but it's virtually indestructible. The glass doesn't scratch, the cases is one piece (no opening at the back) and it never needs a battery.

It comes supplied with a Kevlar strap, but I had Citizen exchange it for a titanium bracelet with an expander when I bought it. Cost back then ~ £450.

This is a poor image, but you will find plenty of info if you google "Citizen Tough"

I'm an old fashioned person so would have to suggest something different.

No moving parts

No repair bills

If it becomes inaccurate we're all in shit.
