Opinions on this Tag Heuer watch

[PinkSuadeSoho]

Agree with Swanky's post. I have a Tag which I have had for years. I didn't know that they aren't regarded as great watches by watch lovers.

I haven't had any problems ever.....with mine. I love it!

^how many people are really 'watch lovers'? And out of those, how many do you care if they like it or not?! I don't!
My watch loving Jeweler recommends Tag's and they sell Tag, Omega, Breitling, and a bunch others.

Most swiss watch companies share movements (Mainly ETA Movt's) Only a few high end companies Rolex, AP, JLC, Piaget, etc. have in house movt's.

For example Omega is actually part of Swatch Watch Group (Basically a Upgraded Swatch Watch) Other Brands of Swatch Watch Group are:

High-range
Blancpain
Breguet
Rado
Omega

Mid-range
Hamilton
Longines
Tissot

Low-range
Calvin Klein
Certina
Mido
Swatch

Tag Heuer is part LVMH, which has other watch brands Chaumet, Dior, OMAS, Zenith (Which for some time provided Rolex Daytona Watch Movt's)

Basically all swiss watches are the same, some can be better than others but it all comes down to personal preference. One watchmaker use to tell me if you want a watch that keeps time well, Buy a Casio Digital.

So choose whatever style or brand you like or can afford. Between Automatic or Quartz, I think Quartz keeps better time, Autos lose time but battery changes not reqd. My auto watches are sitting in my watch winder, while my quartz, I can just leave it on the table w/o worries.

Where does Cartier fit into this hierarchy?

I have the same watch without the yellow gold, all silver and I LOVE IT!

Where does Cartier fit into this hierarchy?

Well, Actually Cartier is an Independent Brand, Consider a Jewelery House by Many. Whereas other are Watch Conglomerates or own by Large Corporations.

It's a lovely watch.

The only thing I would say, is that the gold plate can rub off a little, at the edges, with normal wear.

If that doesn't bother you, go for it!
