GhostfaceZX Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Zenith Port Royal El Primero Chrono Would you take it over the Tag Calibre 36 Link Chrono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I strongly prefer Zenith over Tag anyday... but the 12 and 6' oclock markers are reminding me of our reps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostfaceZX Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) Actually, you're only seeing half the 12 and 6 markers because of the reflection...I guess it's not a good picture. Here's a flash slideshow from the manufacturer's site: Link Edited May 19, 2006 by GhostfaceZX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Zenith Port Royal El Primero Chrono Would you take it over the Tag Calibre 36 Link Chrono?

But of course if I spend that much money on a watch, I want the name to be recognized. I've never heard of Nivrel before, and I doubt most of the people here have heard of it either.

robertk Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Tag= chevrolet (but a damn fine watch) Zenith= mercedes benz (class!) and one of the great watches ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 It is a brand know by horologists for example omni certainly knows this brand... I have had threads about this brand in the past on RWG and also here on RWGjr abouy Nivrel. It is a great brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostfaceZX Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Tag= chevrolet (but a damn fine watch) Zenith= mercedes benz (class!) and one of the great watches ever made. But the thing is the Tag Calibre 36 and Zenith El Primero chronograph share the same movement... The analogy is more like this: Zenith Port Royal El Primero = Mercedes McLaren SLR Tag Link Calibre 36 = C6 Corvette with the SLR engine swapped in I think both of them look good, but the Zenith is cheaper!

oswald Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 That Nivrel chrono reminds me a lot of a Speedmaster triple date... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I think most will always think of TAG as entry level higher end, but Zenith is class However I do like that Nivrel Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sye46 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Tag and Zenith are owned by the same company. The Tag Caliber 36 is a Zenith El Primero movement. In a sense, the Tag and the Zenith are the same quality, it just comes down to brand preference and style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I had a Tag Link Calibre 36 Chrono... fine watch although the dial was too busy for me to read quickly AND what Ken said. I sold it to fund a more practical watch, so got a gen Pam 91 and some reps, with some money left over for straps. Here in Australia (and many other places, I suspect), everybody and his brother has a Tag. I feel this alone cheapens the brand... Omega is almost like that, but just a little past that line IMO as they have come out with some major horological advances and separated themselves with the likes of Tag, B&M, Oris etc. IMO, any Zenith will outweigh any Tag in regards to wow factor and significance for those 'in the know', after all, it's their movement and probably the finest production chrono movement available I only hope that LV leaves them alone and doesn't change their direction in regards to their product.
