Hi guys,

I'm looking into getting a Tag Heuer from the Aquaracer collection for situations when I don't feel like rocking a Rolex. The problem is, I've picked out three that I've fallen for, but am only going to purchase one of them. I need your help in deciding which one is best suitable. Two of them look almost identical, but do have subtle differences if you look hard enough. Lets get started.

1) Aquaracer Calibre 5.
2) Aquaracer Calibre 5 blacked out .
3) Aquaracer Processional.

-C.Anderson

I like the last one, but I have a thing for orange.

I really think you ought to put a couple more dollars in the watch fund and just get an Omega PO. But nothing wrong with Tag...

Why does the last one say 500m next to the date and 100m below Professional?

Depends if you want automatic or quartz movement. The first (automatic) and third (quartz) watch are exactly the same look, except for the movement. Obviously the automatic movement will cost you more. The first and second are identical, except for the bracelet.

The decision comes down to what movement and what bracelet you want...then you'll have your decision.

strange how things becoe the norm ,,, lik date position , i know shirt cuffs and ease of reading , but i do like the date on the other side for a look.

I would go for one of these instead..(borrowed pics)

TuonoRider · 24 December 2011, 04:49 AM

Gotta go with the automatic. I completely missed that the 3rd one down was quartz.

That one is nice, but I'm dead set on having a cyclops. For me it's a must. Thanks guys. All of you have given me a lot to think about!

Hi,

The first 2 pics are automatic models while the last one is quartz.

I vote for the first pic (automatic with steel bracelet).

Strangely, the price diff between automatic and quartz is not much.

Congrats Anderson, I own the one on the rubber strap and it is a fantastic watch. With the reverse cyclop and rubber bezel it has it's own unique flavor!!

FeelingTheBlues · 17 July 2012, 04:11 AM

I quite like the first and the second one. If you're looking for something that looks more like a Rolex, I'd suggest you to go with the first one. Otherwise, I think the black rubber band would be a great idea.

Bangel · 18 July 2012, 06:43 PM

Congrats.

Rags, I like the ones you suggested too.
