  I think the ones who got scammed are those who paid full price for a real one. I wouldn't be surprise, given the success of the Moonswatch, that Omega will come out with a version for the Seamaster in the future.

  The Fakes are fantastic quality for what they are, I have since purchased a genuine moonswatch, and the quality of the genuine is far better, in my opinion. Their is a certain element of marketing the moon swatch, which probably makes the price what it is. Are they worth the money? No, definitely not, but they are truly fun watches and a smart move from Swatch/Omega.

  Not sure about being a great entry level swiss watch, however, as a kid in the 80's I totally get the nostalgia of the TAG. As you pointed out these are to over priced new but you picked up yours for 1/3 of the cost used and that would make a heck of a daily beater for all around wear. Well done.

  I have owned a Tag and it was OK, but I can't say much more than that. I wouldn't describe TAG as a luxury brand, and would rather spend my money on a Chris Ward to be honest. Your title says it's 43mm, you stated on your video it's 40mm at 1 min 38 sec? The clasp on that watch is pressed, which surprises me.

• 
  @the_watchgentАй бұрын

  Christopher ward do make some fantastic watches and yes for the money they are probably better. In my opinion, TAG heuer are a luxury brand the the quartz is a entry level watch for them. Some of their Carrera and Monacos look fantastic.

• 
  @zsb70711 күн бұрын

  I agree with your point. I've owned several Tag Heuer watches and I don't consider them luxury either. I have a Carrera Heuer 01 (43mm, non-skeleton) in my current rotation; it's an amazing timepiece, but not Omega SMPc (black lacquered dial) level of luxury.

  I bought the blue version before this as it was on a heavy discount. It was so good I bought the black dial and the green dial also. I love them to bits. Regulars in the rotation. All run about 5 - 6 sec a day on the wrist. Certina quoted me a service pre pandemic at 180£. Apparently they simply swap movements and send the old unit back to swatch for a recondition. Work guaranteed by Certina.

  The discussion that has been going on for years about a plastic part in a Powermatic 80 is ridiculous and nonsensical....in dentistry we have been using plastic for decades with great success, because.doese have some advantages. and plastic is not the same as plastic. Certina has thought about using plastic in the escapement, but unfortunately ignored the stupidity of the customers

• 
  @slavemi301824 күн бұрын

  ​@@andreasmartinez2216 you have low standards that's why for you this is ridiculous. I ALSO work in the health profession. Our profession use plastics because they're STERILE-R, they're only used ONCE. Like can you imagine reusing a syringe over and over again? Listen, the reason WHY we're buying watches is for the metal, NOT the plastics. Okay? Plastics are cheap, they're meant to be used once or a few times. Take a look at syringes for example. Your typical Terumo/BD syringe costs about $15 box for 100 pieces. A stainless steel syringe (used in MaxFax and I guess dental as well) costs about $15 EACH at the cheapest. If Certina sells this watch for $150 then that's fine. Swatch did it with their MoonSwatch and Blancpain-Swatch and they're successful enough and the watch performs as intended because as you said, plastics has its advantages and has proven degrees of success. Now imagine if a Terumo syringe, one (1) single 10ml plastic Terumo syringe will cost $15? See what I did there? I have no doubt the Powermatic80 will work with a plastic escapement, but sell it at plastics-price. This is what you call VALUE FOR MONEY. $150 for this Powermatic80-equipped Certina, done-deal. BUT SELL IT at $1,000 about the same price as an ETA2824-2 (or Sellita SW200-1) equipped watch?? I'd spit on that Certina.

  I think 43mm is still alright for 6.5” wrist size. The green dial is an unusual green which is quite nice. The price range is reasonable for a Swiss made watch under the swatch’s group.❤

• 
  @lw297828 күн бұрын

  I think that a 6.5 inch wrist is stretching things too far for this watch. I have the black dial version and a 7" wrist, plus long arms, so it wears well enough. Any slimmer and I think the watch would really look overbearing. As well as the size, it's over 200g (183g with the links taken out for my wrist), so it's another factor to take into account.
