Rolex and Tudor are trippin'
Omega killing it, though. Just too pricey. The 60th anniversary bundle is

Tudor looks weird with their new steel bezels, it kind of makes them look cheap because they're brushed?
Omega is cool, I like the Railmaster but nothing really impressed me, somewhat all of the same like Rolex.
Tag wins with the Autavia so far, I do have a soft spot for vintage watches and while Omega is vintage-ish, it feels more like they just put brown patina markers to make it look old.
I also like Hamiltons Intra-Matic 68 (not exactly introduced in Basel but still new).

Yeah. Agree with the fake patina ruining the look. Would have been a better re-issue with regular lumed indices.
Also, the Intramatic 68 is
Tudor could've just launched a bezel-less Black Bay with the same-sized Black Bay Black dial, and it would've been loads better. 41mm seems to big. 39mm would've competed with the Explorer 1 for market share though.. Maybe that's why. :/

eh, Tag passes enough of the requirements so they can call their watches Swiss Made
most watches in it's price range likely has parts made in China too

I spy fake watches on the previous page. 
Anywho, finally some rubber I wouldn't mind using, pun intended.

I said in their price range, Tag is a notch or two below Rolex and the Air King or Explorer equivalent for Tag is still going to cost you a couple of thousands less. Like a Carrera Auto = Explorer, one retails for $2,400 (that could be had for close 50% off) while the other retails for $6,550 (where you'd be lucky to get 5% off) and the Tag had a date function while the Rolex doesn't.
sure they have extravagant pieces that could run you 10k+ but those are more of an exception than the norm and the Rolex equivalent
Tag slander is just getting really old

It's not slander. They deceivingly manufacture the majority of their timepieces in China and use a loophole to brand their watches as Swiss-made. In most circles, this would be considered unethical.

I mean it would be nice if you posted an article for those who aren't aware of the situation...
It sounds like slander if you just post it without anything backing it up assuming.
If it is from using Seiko parts, well I don't think it's a secret anymore and it still passes to be labeled as Swiss Made.
If there is an issue there then blame whoever is governing the Swiss Made label.

Looking at it further at Rolex's new offerings, I like the new steel SkyDwellers, $14,400 isn't something to sneeze up but it's definitely more affordable now.
Comes in black, blue or white dial.

I hope the new skydwellers don't have a 3 year wait. That's a great watch for the price. $14,400 for a Rolex w/ annual calendar, that would be a dream daily beater.
