Mickey Padge Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Just picked up this beauty, a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chronotimer using a quartz movement. All my previous watches have been mechanical movements, so it was about time I added a quartz watch to my collection, what do you guys think? Pics, click to expand! I really like the watch, I have been playing with the multiple functions since I received it, I guess there are benefits to having a quartz movement, aside from accuracy and continuous functionality (until the battery dies).....
Ruma Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Most of the members do not like quartz watches. I do not share this opinion, there are excelent quartz driven pieces and there's no hassle with time ajdusting when not wearing them. I would like to see good quality reps of this type of watches. Nice choice by the way. That Tag looks really nice
plaifender Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 awesome looking watch! is there a genuine version of this? looks like quality!
Mickey Padge Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Posted January 19, 2011 Hehe, this IS the genuine version of this watch! I have it with the full box and papers, as part of a trade for my Breitling Chrono Avenger franken...... I know what you mean regarding quartz watches, I felt the same too, but I decided that each type of watch (mech & quartz) have there own merits. It will be nice to be able to wear this watch, even after a week or so, and it still tells the correct time
Ruma Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 awesome looking watch! is there a genuine version of this? looks like quality! The question is in reverse, will it ever be a super rep of this nice looking Tag Aquaracer
By-Tor Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Great purchase Mickey! I absolutely love this case & size. Will never part with my gen Aquaracer chrono. Simply amazing!
chrgod Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Great watch! Multifunction watches are cool. It reminds me of my old Breitling Aerospaces.. There is a replica version of this. Not to shabby, shame about the round pushers and lack of crown guards. Edited January 19, 2011 by chrgod
Mickey Padge Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Posted January 19, 2011 Yep, the best of both worlds, multifunction quartz, but in the same mech Aquaracer case! Ouch, that rep is terrible!
chronoluvvv Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 what are you ... like 12 years old ? j/k i think its pretty cool but would prefer the yellow dial
By-Tor Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Isn't the case, bracelet and bezel finish pretty damn good? The bracelet is light and very Rolex-like though. But that is probably intentional from TH (to keep the overall weight down). It's a diver chrono after all...
Mickey Padge Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Posted January 19, 2011 34 going on 12 yes This was a trade, so no choice on the dial colour, but with my experience of the yellow dial Seawolf, the uniqueness of the yellow dial wears off after a while.....
importr Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 A great watch but the yellow dials are worth a lot less on the used market! Wear it well, MP !
plaifender Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Ahhh!! it's a gen! no wonder it looks sooo perfect conrats mickey!!
Mickey Padge Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Posted January 22, 2011 Case and bracelet finish is fantastic, and it's a very comfortable watch too Gotta love a gen, nothing beats it, spotless dial and hands, even with a loupe
plaifender Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Case and bracelet finish is fantastic, and it's a very comfortable watch too Gotta love a gen, nothing beats it, spotless dial and hands, even with a loupe Can I ask,, what's the price range of this model???
Mickey Padge Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 Price range is around £700-1200, depending on from where, and condition/dial colour.... Cheers!
