OK now here's a topic where I know what I'm talking about in a big way. Few questions before I start linking suggestions:
1- Price range
2- What are you generally using it for, a watch to go with a suit is different from one you wear on weekends with jeans and a t-shirt.
3- Steel band? Leather? General color preferences?

That's a start, but also if you want to link any specific ones you're looking at I'd probably be able to point you to some similar options.

I love it -- on a poker forum, someone asks what kind of watch he should buy and the first reply is essentially, "it depends."

The fact that your current watch is a TAG Heuer means I can't possibly suggest anything of note. You're already playing in a different league than me.

And lol @ "it depends"

Tyresias knows wtf he's talking about regarding MANY subjects, not just time pieces.

Also, I'm counting the minutes before we learn about the launch of Feihua's Black Market™ Watches. Accept no substitutes.

Actually if you really like your Carrera, and assuming you're looking for an upgrade with similar style, this is a decent place to start talking:
