In my experience no, it's not worth the money. The quartz TAGs I handled definitely had issues in the chrono seconds (and in time-only, centre seconds) hand precision department. If you want a quartz chrono, I'd rather suggest a Certina with an ETA Precidrive. Or if you don't mind pre-owned, a Longines VHP chrono - sadly, it's discontinued, but it's probably the best quartz chrono I've handled. Snap-reset, hand hits the markers spot-on, long battery life, perpetual calendar.
IMO, TAG Heuer isn't worth it unless we're talking about automatic chronographs. I handled Carreras with calibres 16 and 1887, and the Autavia with the Heuer 02 inside. These are some smoothest-operating chronographs out there. Bottom line, the cal.16 is effectively a Sellita clone of the ETA/Valjoux 775X series, but TAG does some serious work on it on their own - so much so, that even though it remains a cam-actuated chrono, the feel of actuating and resetting it easily beats that of the column wheel Longines L688.
I didn't buy any watch this year. That doesn't mean that there haven't been any additions to the collection, though.
Earlier this year, I got a gift from a good friend of mine - a 1951 Tissot bumper auto:
I'm just waiting for a custom strap to arrive, and for my watchmaker to reopen in the second week of January, so that I can pick it up all serviced and good to go.
Every now and then, there's a family emergency I have to deal with, so for some time now, I rarely drink at all - otherwise, I couldn't drive. So, while I like a glass of some good stuff, I just wish I had the peace of mind to drink it without worries.
Hmmm. If you need a dressy option, I'd go with the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium.
If has to be more utilitarian, a Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 38mm.
Both have a Powermatic 80, just the Tissot has the C07.811 variant with the Silicium antimagnetic hairspring, while the Hamilton has a C07.611 with a Nivachron hairspring. However, unless you work with strong magnetic fields, even Nivachron is very unlikely to be affected. Also, both are rated water-resistant to 100m.
If it has to be a diver, I can get along with the Certina DS Action Diver 38 suggestion. Like the Hammy, it has the ETA C07.611 with Nivachron.
I have way too many bottles of whisky/whiskey/bourbon. I don't think as many as watches, but I had to tell people to stop giving me bottles. I'm already out of shelf space to store all that booze.
Some of my favourites...
Bourbon or otherwise American: Wild Turkey, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Evan Williams, Jack Daniel's "Gentleman Jack"
Scotch: The Famous Grouse (both classic and Smoky Black), Oban 14, Royal Lochnagar 12, Talisker 10, Islay Mist, Dewar's Caribbean Smooth 8
Irish: Jameson, Jameson Stout Edition, Tullamore Dew Cider Cask, Bushmills Black Bush
The example you've used is a "flieger" based on the WW2 "Beobachtungsuhr" (B-Uhr) of the Luftwaffe. These generally did not have any branding on the dial. They were made by IWC, A. Lange & Sohne, Wempe, Laco and Stowa. Of these 5, currently 3 make B-Uhr-style watches - Laco, Stowa and IWC. IWC mostly reinterprets the design, while Stowa and Laco basically copy the dial and hand design 1:1, so in their case, offering variants with a sterile dial is a nod to the original watch.
