Omega vs Tag Heuer vs Ball

[Iceheller]

Given 3k budget, TS can look at Sinn or Oris diver watch too. My preference is toward Sinn.

Hi all.. I'm considering a second watch with a budget of <$3k so now it boils down to 3 nice brands - Omega, Tag Heuer and Ball. Any advice or opinion which would make a nice diver watch?

Since its your second watch, and I am assuming you are not depending on it for diving anytime soon, I'd go out on a limb and suggest you continue shoring up (pun intended) your fund for at least a Rolex submariner, that is of course assuming that is not your first watch. You can thank me later.

There you go, as requested, my opinion for your consideration.

Haha.. the sub is my first watch. The reason why I suggested a diver watch is because I like my 2nd watch to be thicker/chunkier.

Hi TS, as an owner of the planet ocean and the aqua racer, I would suggest going with the omega planet ocean as it will give u the 'chunky' feel that you like while being able to fit under the shirt sleeve. The overall quality feels a lot nicer and better than a tag. Had mine for over 3 years and still running well, so getting a 2nd hand piece should be fine. =] whichever piece u choose, enjoy it! Cheers!

The choice is clear bro. The BALL Space master ORBITA limited Edition

Ball is the most value for money watch in town! Price, quality, tough, usability for day to day work.
I got a space master ORBITA few years ago! Rugged!

Omega! brand prestige, and quite a high resale value

[JonLim]

Thanks all for your comments! I traded in my sub for a deepsea and recently got the new Ancon m26. Wish I can show how the watch looks on my puny wrist but how to post pictures?

O,L,B
i got all 3 diver-type watches
PO runaway leader.
hydro conquest feels heavy for its size, no complaints dials and bezel look sleek
for ball the 'WED' on my DAY counter on my hydrocarbon looks crooked from the day i bought it, so not very impressed already, but that being said. the gas tubes are damn cool, especially when u are watching a movie haha
