  Between the two, I prefer the Monaco.

I'm just the opposite as I prefer the Carrera as it is nice enough for dress but sporty for daily and active wear. Don't get me wrong the Monaco is beautiful but for me it would be limited to dress occasions. Just my $.02

Choosing a watch is never simple, right?

So true, I have seen the Carrera C16 up close and it compared to some sport watches is not gaudy at all, it is very elegant and even the tire tread band is nice and you really have to stare at the thing to realize what the pattern on that band is because it is so elegant

 Remember this is just my opinion and watches like so many other fashion items are personal taste. I like TAG and either is a wonderful choice but then again you are the one wearing it

  Thanks mate, I love podracing and I love Star Wars.

Yes, my love and knowledge stems from my eleven year old who I'm pretty sure has left no stone un-turned when it comes to anything Star Wars on film and by Lego

Time to post mine I guess and, since this is Head-Fi, combine it with a bit of cans shot

Both are nice and now I can say if it were I the Monaco might edge out the Carrera since you have a nice sporty already

Cheers, mate. I had a Tag F1 before, but sold it after about a year since I thought it was a bit gaudy. Now I like the Carrera C16 a lot, but I just fear I may grow tired of it after a short while too.
 
 
But I guess the F1 is a bit gaudy without being elegant, and the Carrera is nothing like it.

I can't argue with you on that and I obviously love the Formula 1 (Sorry as I have posted this several other times out here), bought from my local Jeweler in Austin in 1987 for $187.50 and has been flawless to this day

  Not sure if any of you like Tag Heuers, but might as well ask this here. Which one do you guys like better?

 Without a doubt the Monaco takes the cake.  It has a rich history and some earlier pieces are highly sought after by collectors (ala Steve McQueen).  Go for the Monaco ....its more of a timeless classic.

Agreed 100%. There are a lot of watches that mimic the Calibre 16 but the Monaco is a classic and soooooo beautiful. I really love the look and will be saving hard and selling inventory to ensure I have one within 6 mths...
