the B&M tends to remind me of those fake watches i see at the markets back in malaysia.. :s
and i've got a tag the mother of pearl link series in blue! so TAG TAG TAG!!!
 
I have the Tag Aquaracer with blue MOP face and diamond markers.. I LOVE it! I don't particularly like square/rectangle faces.. so that B&M is not my fave.

GO TAG!!!
 
I vote TAG!

I am not sure if this will be of any help but here is a pic of me wearing my men's TAG (the one I stole from DH :devil: because he wasn't using it):

I tried on a B&M Hampton Milleis with diamonds on the sides of the bezel today and it was GORGOUS! TAG is beautiful, but looks like many, many other watches. This one was very uniquely crafted -- sat on the wrist like it was poured there.
 
The B&M looks 'inspired' by the Cartier tank. If you want the Tank shape, just get the Cartier.

Go for the Tag, I own the aquaracer, and it's gorgeous. I think there are some pretty amazing diamond versions you can get now too.:love:
 
Which one did you buy? If you haven't, my vote is for B&M. I love the brand, its beautiful and not as common as Tag is (although TAGs are very nice too). My husband has a Baume Mercier Capeland Chronograph and I plan on asking for the Diamont for an anniversary present next month.
 
My vote would be for the B+M too,you don't see them around as much as Tags,they don't change their styles as often as Tag,some people prefer this as they feel their watch will become outdated too quickly,some people love how Tags are always changing and evolving thier styles,. Baume Mercier also make excellent movements, btw,love the Capeland,I think the size can look seriously cool on a girl!The Tag on the girl in a previous post looks cool xx

Like a few others have already said, the B&M looks a bit too much like the Cartier Tank minus the perfect dial design of the Tank. If you really like the B&M I would save up until you can afford to buy the Tank; trust me, you will NOT regret that choice. The Tag is nice. I have the automatic version of the aquaracer. It is a sporty watch and is very different in aesthetics compared to the B&M.

I personally would try to save up for Tank. Cartier watches are classics.

Good luck,
Diana

True,you can't beat a top end watch for that totally lux feeling when you wear it,I love wearing a Rolex,maybe go the extra bit on cash ,or save for a Cartier,you certainly WON'T regret that choice,and they are i'm afraid to say for risk of offending Tag fans, much more exclusive,and steel ones are not that unatainable price wise.
