arepuj Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi everybody I really like the Tag aquaracer 500m all black. I have seen that the actual version have big flags like red "calibre 5" words instead of white ones, and that is made of stainless steal whereas the Gen is titanium mmade. do anybody knows if new version is coming at any moment? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Im pretty sure that the genuine Aquaracer has a ss case,just like rep. Im not a Tag expert but this looks to be a excellent replication. Take a look here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway what it´s more important for me is the flag of writing "Calibre 5" in red rather in white, too easy to realize this is a rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 There is red claibre 5 version, here you go. The problem is that the date suround Is black Instead of white like the gen. If I were to pick up a Tag rep right now it would be the black chronograph model. It Is about as accurate a rep as you will find. Remember there is no such thing as the perfect rep,they all have flaws. The thing is to determind what flaws are accepteble and which ones are not. The tag site says "polished SS" as case material. I also checked a few other sites and they also stated "steel case". Dont know what else to tell you bro,good luck. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogstar Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I maybe wrong but is there a rep out which made of titanium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 The all black Tag 500M rep is very, very poor indeed, buy any other version for better acuracy The rep case is steel PVD, should be titanium PVD, the Calibre 5 lettering on the dial is red, should be white, no AR crystal, the all black has single sided AR, the case back on the rep is clear, the gen crystal has a "smoked" finish, the lume is not the right colour at all, the date wheel is white, not black and the crown/bezel are not rubberised like the genuine..... Seriously, don't buy it, it looks and feels nothing like the genuine watch I maybe wrong but is there a rep out which made of titanium? There isn't a titanium rep, but I really hope they release a proper version, not just this half assed effort, I mean all they did was PVD the black dial version and blacken the hands, rubbish!

zzipy Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Mickey, I was seriously considering this watch from what I thought were good reviews. Looks like you have punched a lot of holes into into. Maxman has given link to a SS, Red Lettered version. What version do you recommend. I have read that the blue one is off in color. Also see, Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi to all and thanks to Mickey for clarification, it was what I though, REP is not good enough to spend around 300-350$. I also hope they release a proper version, in that case I´m sure I will buy it, meanwhile I will wait. Thanks to everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I have the stainless steel black dial version with red lettering, excellent rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arepuj Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi everybody, I have found this page where they say that the all black is in black titanium case http://www.timesshop.net/10785-tg291...ss-sw-200.html do you know if it is true? it would be a nice advance, nevertheless I don´t understand why there is still a major flag in the red lettering "calibre 5", it should be white letters.

Mickey Padge Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I very much doubt it is titanium, even if it was all the other flaws still make it a poor quality, inaccurate replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
