Get the Panerai, then the Omega. You might as well do it right, and not waste your time on a Tag.

And I would buy your watches off of the grey market or through an AD here in the US. Prices overseas in my experience are higher, and they discount less.

Its actually 43mm and almost as thick. More on the "utilitarian" side as opposed to dressy. Rolex did increase the size of the Explorer to from 40 to 42mm for this year.

Sometimes I see watches listed all over the place as far as size, depending on source. For the new model, from rolex.com: 44mm. I agree, it is definitely thick and bulky, too much to be a dressy divers IMO.

I really like them, especially with the carbon fiber face. I'm also thinking about another Tag.

Yeah, the new Deep Sea is definitely 44 mm. The first 2 years were 43, and either Rolex decided to bump it up a mm or just changed it to 44 mm in their description. Either way, it is a hunk of steel. The Planet Ocean isn't nearly as thick, and could definitely be worn as a dress watch.

I like the Panerai most, because only a few people know, what brand this is and how much it cost and I adore their brown leather and black rubber strap(i am a student) . Big discount can not be problem I think.
But on the other hand, Omega has this classic look. What about chopard grand turismo xl?

Why not a Tag?

65,
great choice i got one for my bday last month
i agree with Gray
go for the Ti version (on bracelet)
but of course buy what is more comfy on your wrist in the end

E, my vote goes to the Omega based solely on aesthetics
and i also think it is more toned down and can work as a dressy watch AND its colours are definitely daily material

I am not a big fan of Tags, mostly because I think that they are poorly constructed. I have known quite a few people that have had hands fall off, movements just stop working, etc., so I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. If you want a great watch go with a Panerai, Omega, or a Rolex (not necessarily in that order). All are very well made, and will take a beating and keep going. Of course, all of this is just my $0.02, and should be taken as opinion, and not fact.
