Is Rolex a good move up from Tag?

I wouldn't say Rolex is old either... My parents bought all of us a Rolex when we turned 18! I have a middy that's like the one in the picture but with a white face and diamond markers... No one thought that was too old for me!

Omega has excellent pieces too.. but if you have your heart set on a Rolex.. Go for it!
 
I don't think Rolex per se, is an older persons watch!
I just think the larger sizes, are more currant. As I said, I have a few of my own, with the 26 mm face, and they sit in the safe deposit box unworn.
But thats just my preference, I prefer larger watches, in general.
 
The great thing about the Omega Aqua Terra is it's a mid-size for a LOT less. Even if you get it blinged out it still comes in under a Rolex.

nvie's is actually an Aqua Terra I think, (I mistyped above when I said aqua master ..I was thinking seamaster). All blinged out in two tone it's around 8-9k I think. It's been a while since I looked (probably when nvie got hers..hers is still my favorite). I think with just markers it's around 3-4k and with no diamonds 2k ish? I'm guessing off what I saw a few months ago though.
Gosh I sure want one. REEEEALLY bad.
 
Most jewelers can discount up to 25% on them. If there's been no increase in the past few months, the diamond price was about $5500 and the non-diamond was about $2500 after standard discount{s} IIRC.
 
If I bought it it would be the small dial bc I can't afford the larger. Sounds like I might need to pick another watch. Ideas?

i know you ruled out cartier, but i just got a tank francaise and i really love it. like you, i'd been wearing the same watch for the past 10 years (mine was a movado, though). i was able to get mine 20% off at neiman-marcus since they had marked down their current in-stock items to make way for new inventory. i'd priced out cartier at independent jewelry stores and was also getting quotes of 20% off retail. if there is a neiman-marcus near you, maybe there's something in stock (even if it isn't a tank) that catches your eye and has been reduced in price.

good luck deciding :D
 
^Omega is repositioning itself upward and definitely going after potential Rolex customers. Recent design and technological upgrades are attracting favorable reviews in the industry.

There's a place for Omega respect, always has been, and rightly so. And not everyone likes or wants the same thing, whether in bags or watches.;)

I did not say that I dislike nor not respect it!
I was saying was a Louis and a Chanel
LouisVuitton is respect brand as well, and I do have 9 or 11 purses as of now.
while Chanel is higher range.
