<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2768151, member: 76194&quot;]The problem with Tag Heuer is that it is barely one step above a fashion watch company. The real Heuer watch company died in the early 70&#039;s with the Seiko quartz revolution, and Tag bought the remains.&nbsp; The reinvented &quot;Tag Heuer&quot; company (what came out of the ahses of the Quartz Revolution appocalypse)&nbsp; was a company with a highly exagerated history, overinflated prestigue, and just plain marketing BS.</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone gifted me a Tag Heuer, I&#039;d re-guift it to the first homeless person I saw, or the first Good Will thriftstore I could find. If I was forced to wear it for the benefit of the person who gifted it to me, I&#039;d have a paper bag in my back pocket to cover my head as soon as I could get away from them. I wouldn&#039;t want anyone to see me wearing a Tag Heuer in public, and word getting out. <b>The paper bag over the head would be far less embarrasing.</b> I&#039;d much rather wear a $60 Casio watch, or a $100 Timex over a Tag.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what&#039;s the problem with Tag Heuer? They are liars. They got busted years ago for claiming they invented a new &quot;in-house movement.&quot; Turns out that all they did was modify a standard automatic ETA movement, and then lied and claimed it was their own watch movement. Then in 2011 they claimed to have invented Caliber 1811, a new revolutionary automatic watch movement no one had ever seen before. Except those of us who know about watches were not fooled. It was a mid-tier Seiko movement which Seiko put on some low to mid-tier watches back in the 1990s. Tag Heuer bought the rights to the movement, then their PR people pretended Tag Heuer had invented the whole thing from scratch. To make it worse, when people called them out for the lie, they sent their teams of high priced lawyers to try and intimidate their customers for daring to speak the truth. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I could go on, but I don&#039;t want to hijack this thread further.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
