For those of you who have heard great things TAG Heuer watches, and trying to decide whether to buy a TAG or Rolex watch, I am writing to clean up this comparison, some common misconceptions about these brands. On request with many fans of luxury watches, I learned a lot about technology, chronograph movement, and the reliability of the Rolex watches TAG vs. My results are listed below:
Quality / Value: Surprisingly, not as the best Rolexseen among high-end watch expert, but it is still the best known brands in public. It is also not the most expensive watch. Both brands are fine for the manufacture of mechanical watches and quartz known. If you are thinking of trading in the street, can be a Rolex is a better choice, since it retains its intrinsic value and worth more than a day to look over time.
Warranty and Service: The two companies will give a 2-year warranty on most models and threeYear warranty on others, but is not guaranteed for life more. Service is to look when worn regularly is usually required to see this every 4-5 years. This can be observed costs over $ 500 for a day and up to $ 1200 for a couple of Rolex. It will be remembered, if you have the watch is not COSC (Controle de Us stopwatch Journal) certificate, once someone has been done to the watch's movement. You can be certified again when you return to Switzerland, theis almost never done.
Diamonds: Day use uses F to G color diamonds colored diamonds and Rolex D. Most models come with a 2-year warranty on the stones.
Movement: Rolex used its in-house movement on most models, which is automatic. TAG watches use ETA movement, which is owned by Swatch. Both companies are mechanical and quartz versions, but it is important to understand the difference. Quartz is not only accurate, but is likely to be more reliablein the long run. They are also cheaper than mechanical chronographs. Mechanical chronograph can be incredibly precise, but are not for everyone. This is because their self-winding mechanism can be activated only by wearing them. As a result, they may lose accuracy when you move frequently observed.
Accuracy: This depends on whether you prefer automatic or quartz. The quartz is accurate over time because they do not require automatic movement, but mostChronograph vectors are more interested in the treatment of intrinsic value and a chronograph Swiss, as they are with consistent accuracy.
Appearance: Rolex rarely changes the look of their watches, which means that the look of a Rolex watch of the '70s is very much like you buy today. While this is testament to its timeless charm can win loyal customers, as a matter of time to update time. By day, look at the new models released every few differentYears.
Cost: A Rolex watch is usually more expensive than the TAG, if you compare similar models, but it is often possible to justify, if the Rolex is its value to be taken into account during the period of reserve.
Overall, it was my understanding of what many of you already know. The choice of a TAG Heuer is compared to a Rolex really more a matter of personal taste.
