    Has an interesting retro look to it.

    You need Gorilla wrists to pull that off though.

    Yeah, I like the red and black, but I always felt like a kid with a dick Tracy watch on when I tried on those giant face ones.

    If you are in the market for a good watch at a reasonable price, take a look at the Pulsar Railroad watch. Sells for about 80 bucks, water resistant to 100 ft. I wore one on the railroad for about eight years and it worked fine. It is rugged enough for work and looks well for a dress watch. I have more expensive watches, a Hamilton 992B and a Rolex 1007 that i seldom wear. My everyday watch now is a Taser.

    If I can wear my Hamilton 950 every day you can wear your 992B also. You know what they say, use it or lose it.

    Need an opinion, been hesitating pulling the trigger at a local store for an older Tag Heuer 2000 Automatic Chronograph, it's retro, mid 80's to mid 90's I believe, water resistant to 100 m - very nice two toned watch, it's model number 765.406, any thoughts on this watch?

    Any opinions would be a great help, can't go wrong here at SRP.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Pixelfixed, yes, was all serviced up by Tag, including the pressure seal and all the push buttons. Just wanted to know if there were any opinions on this model.

    cannot speak for the Model,I would never buy a tag,are just mass produced watches,But if it turns your crank
    Than go for it,enjoy.

    The 2000 was towards the bottom tier models. Just basic mass produced watches with ETA Mvmts. Back then the Tag models didn't have the rep they have now. If you could find the older models before they became tag like the Autavia or Carrera models then you would really have something.

    It all depends what you are going to pay for the 2000.
