bmw1racer wroteI tried to stick with brands that are innovators rather than brands that copy a successful style that was first introduced by someone else. Tag make nice enough watches, but on the style front, they aren't leaders. That's why Tudor isn't there either.No TAG Heuer?
Truthfully, I should have included Swatch, but I forgot to.

bmw1racer wroteWell, I haven't conducted an academic study of the matter, but I can say I haven't ever seen a Tag style that I didn't already see produced before by someone else. And I have a Tag watch and it runs and keeps time quite well. So both my points seem like fact to me, but lacking anything official, sure it's an opinion.Isn't that just personal opinion?

bmw1racer wrotex2!No TAG Heuer?
tony20009 wroteWhat about the Monaco, and the LS specifically?I tried to stick with brands that are innovators rather than brands that copy a successful style that was first introduced by someone else.

bmw1racer wroteThey haven't really, but Tag started out by copying the Rolex look, not to the letter like Tudor did/does, but close enough.From what I've seen, Rolex watches haven't changed much over the years.
MightyMouseTech wroteBoy folks sure get their panties in a bunch if something they like or have heard of doesn't make it onto a list somewhere. LOLx2! [regarding the omission of Tag from my list]
MightyMouseTech wroteThey look very much like a de Grisogono (http://www.alanfurman.com/noframes/degrisogono1.html), Pierre Kunz (http://www.alanfurman.com/noframes/pierre_kunz.html) and to a lesser degree Bulgari.What about the Monaco, and the LS specifically?
There are of course several brands I could have quite justifiably included, such as Jacob & Co, but I thought them not well known enough that putting them there would be of any value, even though one won't really find a watch that looks quite like theirs.
For example, All the watches in this link should be on the list.

smohr33 wroteI didn't, so, yes then, Tag has an original design. And I think their Grand Carrera watch is a bit unique. I don't have anything against Tag. As I said, I have a Tag, two actually. They are nice watches. I just didn't include them on the list. I don't see them as being at the forefront of design and style. It's nothing more than that.You do realize the Monaco was introduced in 1969 right? Long before the company above was even founded...
tony20009 wroteLike the Monaco V4, the first watch to be built with a "timing belt"?I didn't, so, yes then, Tag has an original design. And I think their Grand Carrera watch is a bit unique.

Sorry, just busting your chops. No harm meant.....The patented belt-driven transmission is a high-yield relay of 5 notched micro drive-belts whose tension is controlled by 2 turnbuckles. The transmission belts in polyether block amide have a 0.07mm section, and are 10 times smaller than any belt ever manufactured.
tony20009 wroteI think that's an extreme exaggeration, but that's the price you pay for asking for opinions...Boy folks sure get their panties in a bunch if something they like or have heard of doesn't make it onto a list somewhere. LOL
