Tried out the new Tag Aquaracer GMT - Impressed!

[samson66]

Stopped by a Tag Heuer boutique a couple days ago and asked if they had anything new. The SA pointed me over to the new Aquaracers that came out this year. They had the green/black GMT in stock and a couple of the divers. Gave the GMT a try and I was really impressed. The dimensions are perfect for me at 42mm case diameter, 21mm lug width, 13mm thick, and 48mm lug-to-lug. The 3D wave dial looks amazing and the dual color ceramic bezel is really sharp. Winding and bezel action were smooth. I like the magnifier lens for my aging eyes even though some others may hate it. My only complaint is that it's a caller GMT, but at $4,300 retail it's a nice package. Glad to see Tag righting the ship. Nice stuff they're putting put lately.

Thanks for sharing and great pics.

It’s crazy we’ve come to a point where $4300 is inexpensive. I’m just getting old I guess. My first nice watch was a Tag in 1996 so they always will have a soft spot in my heart. I really love the Skipper, just not at RRP.

This watch seems to be if a Sprite and Omega 300m had a baby….

I hope you pick one up if you love it!

Tag Heuer gets a bad rap. The Aqua Racer, Carrera, and Autavia are excellent

As Einstein said, it's all relative

Yes definitely has some Seamaster DNA going on but it improves on the dial IMO and thank god no skeleton hands. Green/Black screams VTNR for sure.

We'll see. I have have the blue/black in my future...

Agree. I was in there because I just ordered a Carrera 36 date for the wife - another new release. They are putting out nice stuff and a very competitive price. I think they match up well against the likes of Tudor.

Nice looking watch Mike, the bracelet look’s especially good.

Check out the clasp Brian. On-the-fly 10mm of micro adjustment you can do while on your wrist. Might be the first one I've seen.

That looks great and the clasp doesn’t look too bulky either
