Well, the question seems moot for now, but I would vote Tag -- not a close question for me. I don't see them as being on the same level.
I have several mid size (34mm?) Formula 1's (admittedly a bit toy-like), two Formula 1 chronos which I wear occasionally, a 2000 chrono which I never wear and have lost interest in and a late 90's/early 2000's Carrera reissue which I *should* wear.

as like luminox... but sold one because of damaged to the lugs from spring bars being wrongly used and had dug grooves in the lugs never meationed when bought. but the other one was stronger but price wise say a chrono from luminox and tag might roughly be the same price depending model tag look for hippy and funky ..luminox are to be tough and not very pretty ..think am going to have to get one of each and see
Yes. Luminox is an ok watch for what it is, but I can't picture the Luminox I would choose over a TAG. Some TAGs are repulsive, sure, but some are simply wonderful. TAG simply makes a better watch.

Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

I don't think I've ever considered a Luminox. I've had a few Tags including one of the early 80's plastic F1. I think I gave it to my brother as a first dive watch when I bought my Sub in 85. I had a black Titanium Aquaracer LE about 10 years ago which was quite nice. It had very bright yellow lume with better than average glow time, a Cyclops for the 9 o'clock date and a rubber coated bezel that was very easy to operate. I look for one from time to time preowned since it is one of my few regrets. I've also entertained a Monaco, but the ones with the more interesting movements have the indexes that drive me crazy. A nice last generation Silverstone would also get some consideration. Would prefer the brown. These might not fit in the range you were thinking?
