I don’t know what all Tags look like (the 2 I had were from the 90’s), but I look at this one and what immediately comes to mind is Rolex. Tag is not going to be the first or last that will make watches that look like a classic Rolex, I just think that given you have the real deal, I would buy something else that doesn’t look like what you have. My 2 cents.

I love Tag! They are what I call an "affordable luxury" brand. I would go for Aquaracer or Formula 1 over the Carrera though, I think Aquaracer is a fantastic everyday casual watch.
I hope people will think twice and dial back on snarking at other watch choices as mere Rolex "wannabe" brands. People choose non-Rolex watches for all kinds of reasons. I've looked at and tried on several Rolex watches but in the end went for an Ebel Wave watch with diamonds because I thought it was a prettier watch and looked nicer on me. And I have a Rendex tank watch that I really like and wear on ultra-casual occasions. My choices have nothing to do with not being able to join the Rolex "club".
I love my Tag and think this would be a great casual option. The carrera is a really cool watch with a special history with the brand behind it, I personally don't think it's a wannabe of anything else.
I apologize if anyone took my comment as ‘snarky’. It was the last of my intentions. I called it a ‘wannabe’ because the OP has a Rolex already and this Tag looks like a Rolex. My point was if you already have a Rolex, why are you getting something that looks like what you already have? I would get something different.
Nothing wrong if you like something even more than you like a Rolex. To each their own.
Gerard Genta designed the Nautilus after the Royal Oak’s success. They are different in some aspects but very similar in others. I have a stainless steel Nautilus and would love to get a Royal Oak some day. I wouldn’t get a stainless because it would look almost like the same watch I have, but would get a rose gold one.

I love real watches, mechanical, plain and not bejewelled. One con - no fluorescent materials on the hands
Yes. H.Moser & Cie. It’s white gold but no bling - that’s how I like my everyday watch
I do understand. I love the look of Rolex Datejusts so maybe that is why I'm drawn to this one. Since I was looking for a watch to wear very occasionally, another Rolex would t work for me financially which is why I was looking elsewhere. I also like the look of a similar looking Omega. I clearly have a watch "type"!
I saw this one in person today & it's beautiful (I didn't try it on - all the SAs were busy)
This is beautiful. Having wearing this for more that 5 years, in 30mm, I still love the Datejust 31mm. Easier to read date on the Datejust 31mm compared to the Aqua Terra 30mm....I’m getting old. LOL!
It's a beautiful watch. Did you see their Apple Watch style watches? I thought that was funny! I admire Moser watches at Harrods occasionally
Have you looked at Grand Seiko watches? They look beautiful and great quality, You might like their Grand Seiko Heritage collection: https://www.grand-seiko.com/global-en/collections/heritage
