On my Wrist:
I want a Tudor Black Bay:
Damn sexy watch at 41mm and 10mm thick.
EDIT-BTW, the Seamaster 300m is still an ulgy watch.
Seiko 5 are fantastic, Orient has great watches for that price, and if you want an homage to a 'legendary' watch, and more dressy stuff, Parnis does an ok job. Have fun, and don't hesitate to ask if you want more details
Here's a blurry pic of the Tudor from when we bought it.

Hey Phoenix
So, very quickly, here are my thoughts:
As I said already a few times in this thread, Tag is a lazy brand, throwing millions to Leo 'teenface' Di Caprio and Brad 'badass' Pitt just to make sure they have an inspirational talent for any 20+ guy out there.
For the past 15 years they did not add much to their collection and just recycled old designs - the only thing I can think of is a proto watch that replaces the pendulum with magnets from last year... Meh.
And because Tag has lost the brand values that made it great once , I think you would just end up overpay given the current quality of their watches.
3 directions:
The used (even better if vintage from the 50s/60s) SpeedMaster. You can get one for pretty much you price cap used on Chrono24.com, it's a classic design, and anybody who doesn't like it has just awful taste:
A new NOMOS, fantastic craftmanship, crazy bang for bucks, just maybe a bit dressier than what you expected (also this specific model is very small, Orion 35mm, which I love, but they have bigger sizes), also a bit under your cap:
A new Sinn, simply among the most interesting watch company these days, incredible R&D and super cool design, and among the best cases out there in this price range, here I chose a 103 st sa, a bit under your cap, but there are plenty of others:
(Sinn and Nomos are exclusively sold on watchbuys.com)
Ah, thanks! I do like a smaller watch, anything over about 42mm is often too big for my tastes. I'll check out those watches for sure. Not sure about buying a watch at that price that I can't see in person first though.
As for the Tag, it wasn't the brand name so much, it was the only watch I could find that I liked the look of better than my current Tissot. :/ I have very narrow tastes in watches I have discovered! lol Well, not really, but for a good all round and work watch I certainly do.
For reference, my current work wear watch:
As you can see, not that different to the tag model, I'm a bit boring, I know.
Still. I will certainly check out those others, thank you very much for the info
The SBDB001 is a fantastic piece, and quite "inexpensive" considering its characteristics, movement and materials, but its dimensions are insane... (Diameter : 45mm - Thickness : 17mm)
It's actually a virus, you just caught it when you came here
Pics?
(and go for the NOMOS, it simply rocks)
This is a BIG picture
I'll give you my SARB029, then.
<3
I'll give you my SARB029, then.
Like I said, my fellow countryman, Seiko still offer plenty of those.
Like I said, my fellow countryman, Seiko still offer plenty of those.
Their new flagship is 13.5mm thick, which is quite "fat" for such a small and formal watch (with a flat sapphire, too).
It is not the aspect that I like the most in Seiko watches, but it may actually please or interest some
