Martyd3 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 They finally got the AR right. What else is good or bad about it? http://www.1-pc8838.com/tgaq00071-aquaracer-500m-chronocoming-soon-p-10781.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denniboss Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 To my humble opinion the following flaws which i did see in a quick look: the numbers alignment on the bezel, there is too much space between them (major flaw). Also the black surface of the crown with the tag logo on it: the rep tag logo is 'inscripted' in the surface while the gen logo is more 'stamped' on it (minor flaw). The colour of the tag logo on the dial: rep has more a bronze colour while the gen has more a white/zilver colour (minor flaw). And the gen is only available with a black dial and not also with a blue dial at this moment. For the rest i can't see more flaws at first sight. Hopefully someone else can do a 1:1 comparison between gen and rep. And of course i'm very curious to hear other members opinions about this rep!

slask111 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Here is the Rep and Gen. I like it, looking forward to read a review. I want a new Chrono at 44-45mm so rooting for this until a good Abyss 44mm is avalible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Like denniboss said, it looks like the numbers on the rep bezel are further apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I dont have the best eye for flaws but that bezel looks pretty good to me. What does catch my eye are the sub dials @the 12&6,they appear to lack the depth of the gen. Overall It looks to be a pretty decent effort.

seraphe Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) From a quick comparison between pic of a rep (taken off a dealer's website) and a gen (with rubber strap): - Spacing between numbers on bezel indeed look wider - Number font on bezel of rep looks more round ended compared to gen - The TAG Heuer logo (though not visible here) of rep looks like it's missing the arrow ends on the "G" - Everything else looks fine.

vindicator1977 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm a proud, satisfied owner of a 500m chrono rep, and it has become my daily beater right out of the box :-) only glaring flaw I can see is the Tag logo's G as well as its color, being a bit on the gold side, as opposed to chrome silver for GENs. Can anyone verify if the He valve on the GEN version is manual or auto release? The crescent shaped notches may suggest the need to turn it clockwise. Any ideas?

Jkay Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Can anyone verify if the He valve on the GEN version is manual or auto release? The crescent shaped notches may suggest the need to turn it clockwise. Any ideas? It certainly looks like a screw-down HeV, like a Planet Ocean. Not automatic ...

maxman Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Congratulations...a fantastic otb rep...really nice. I too would say that the rep HE valve is of the screw down varity...but looks auto. It looks like the gen is a auto He valve It could be the angle...but the magnifing glass/cyclops seems to obscure/Infringe upon the print above. It dosent seem to do this with the gen.

bobz777 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Does anyone have pictures or a review/opinion of a rep blue chrono version of the aquaracer 500m? I am concerned how the hue of blue is compared to the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazey Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Anyone know if they will be making the new ceramic version. I prefer the look if that. If it ends up coming out with corect arrows on G then I'm sold http://www.tagheuer.com/int-en/home#/int-en-luxury-watches-aquaracer-500-m-calibre-16automatic-chronograph43-mm-black-steel-bracelet-cak2110-ba0833 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindicator1977 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 The movement is probably the worst thing about this watch. Mine just died barely year after purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 The movement is probably the worst thing about this watch. Mine just died barely year after purchase. Chronograph movements are complex things. They cost money to maintain, like most complex things. Every newbie wants a fancy chrono watch but it's the worst thing you can do for a first purchase.
