Appologies for being slightly off topic here, but I'm hoping someone can give me some advice regarding my issue. About 7-8 years ago, my wife bought me a TAG Heuer Monza Calibre 6. This is the first and only "really nice" watch I've ever owned, but I must say I've been sorely dissapointed in its performance. It runs 2 minutes fast each day. I've had it sent back to the manufacturer twice and it's still no better. I'm just wondering if this is typical for this TAG Heuer or even watches in the $1500 - $2000 range in general?

I contend Heuer is getting like Omega along with others by raising prices to boutique status, & acing out commoners by not offering good cost/value ratios. The patented limited edition schtick is also a blunt kick in the testes.

Ariel, this Tag is the first watch you've reviewed in quite a while that is truely beautiful. The old-style hands and numbers set in a tasteful, modern case -- all done with reserve -- make this a really nice piece. It's the first Tag I've seen that I'd like to have.

I am conflicted on the design of this watch. I think, over-all, it is a nice piece. However, that is because I really like the case and the face design (and the movement). The hands, the pushers, and the crown all seem like they belong on other watches. The hands seem a bit ornate and or the wrong era for the rest of the piece. The pushers are fine, but they break the flow of the case design, they are the standard for a round case, and show a kind of a abdication of responsibility to design a whole watch, in favor of grabbing some parts out of a bin ... or maybe they just look weird with that crown (or vice versa). I don't know. There is something about that part of the watch that looks lazy to me.

Although i believe i've said i'm glad the Monza has returned i do not like the dial on this the last reissue was much nicer. What to wear this with though is easy boatshoes, khaki's, blue button down oxfordand it's job done!!

I think it's a gorgeous watch. I love cushion cases. The hands are ornate but not overly so, and the numerals use an interesting font that looks both old-fashioned and contemporary. All will be sold out long before I could afford one sadly.
