need help making my decision (Moon or Tag Heuer Chronograph)

[huntr]

I am looking at both Tag Heuer Link automatic chronograph which comes with asian 7750 movement and Omega Speedmaster moon watch with Lemania manual movement. Since I have no knowledge in both movements, can you give me a brief descriptions as I'm looking for the reliable as I plan to wear more often. I like the look of the moon watch as I plan to purchase one or Tag from Andrew.

If you plan to sell one that does not have to go through custom and in excellent condition, let me know. I'm in USA.

Thanks!

Omega of course

The Tag Link Chronographe is a very good rep (have a look at By-Thor`s great review), put a nuclear 7750 and be happy!
The Omega is great too, Pugwash refered nice on it with stunning pictures...

Cheers

What do you think of Lemania Manual Movement? Better or the same as Asian 7750 Movement used for Tag Heuer?

I like the Omega better. just my 2cents

I prefer the omega, and prefer the "venus" copy movement. You have to live with an hour dial that tracks the hour hand or is non-functioning. So if that is an issue for you it may affect your decision.

If you're looking for accuracy as compared to the gen watch, Tag Heuer wins, no contest here. If you're simply going to settle on a beautiful watch, the Omega gets my vote.

i would certainly go for the tag. the omega has so many flaws you can spot one of them 10 feet away. the tag is extremly close.

don't get me wrong, i would like to have white broad arrow very bad, but i cannot live with that many flaws.

 

[takashi]

Yeah... That's right. That's precisely the point. If the major flaw is not a concern at all, the Omega is a good choice too.

Broad arrow is bad, but standard is pretty good except for subdial spacing, see this comparision:

the subdial spacing is what kills it for me. it is so far off you don't even have to be close to see it. the really small stuff i don't care about.

 

[sash5]

i guess i will go for the link chrono... much more closer to the gen!

 

[daytona4me]

That is the only Tag rep that I would ever consider. :?
It is on my list.

 

[takashi]

And also this one if you're not satisfied :lol:

I have a gen moon.

I <3 it. It catches all attention, hence why I never wear it. Its one of the pieces that you buy and never worry about again.

Esp the reps w/ the Lemania movement, wow? I think so.

I am going to get a rep moon soon just to kick around

 

[apfan]

the sub dial spacing for the tag chrono looks delicious!

Never heard it described that way but... ok.

i know that dial color is very subjective but that grey just blows me away! if i were to buy one it would defiantly be that color.

Lovely the Link may be, but the amount of times I've been frustrated by dicky 7750s, and never had a problem with the Venus'. Once in the Moon reduced and other in the Navitimer venus rep. Although both of these have their cosmetic flaws...

I'd still go for the Moon watch rep for its reliability

 

[seank]

Tag Link Chrono gray or white dial. I have the gray and its awesome. I do love the moon watch and Pugs makes it look awfully nice but man the Link is close to the gen.
