strattakan Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Lost some of the Bold Design, smaller size (41mm), lost some originality and became looking like another common dive watch. At least for me. Looks good but looks more like an invicta. The ceramic bezel is cool, although. BTW the old model is still in production http://www.calibre11...r-500m-ceramic/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroAvia Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I like the old model much, much better. They don't even look like belonging to the same collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Same-same, but different.. I was not too impressed by the last Aquatimer, and not by this one either. They are all variants on the same theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 They lost the cyclops at the factory! I guess they do listen to their customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I would have kept the unique "carved" HeV design. This one looks like they stole a pallet of Planet Ocean helium valves from the Omega factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slask111 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Its boring and dosent stand out. Perfect! I want one.. it it were a tad bigger. 41mm is just to small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryaku Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I DO love it, I might even like it better than the PO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Brilliant, looks much nicer, no cyclops, better size...more in line with classic smp/sub. Dial is cool. Whats not to like. Lets get this repped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 This one is sexy also, pity about the heavily branded strap, but the watch itself looks sleek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I like the previous one better, this one is too boring and i think they're trying to imitate the PO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I like it better than the old model. Would have been nice if they'd kept the date window on the left, though--it was distinctive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBattler Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 The Pearl looks pretty cool. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 In Blue? No, Black? Hell yes! I love the new pearl and the much cleaner overall design. Oversized in a 43mm would be perfect and I can see them doing just that (the Calibre 1887 was recently released in a 43mm if I am not mistaken) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroAvia Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I just love how different people are! So many different opinions. I must admit that the watch is nice - the all-black in particular, but I still prefer the previous model. If the factories decide to copy this new version, one thing is clear: we won't have the poor logo issue, as the logo is now painted on the dial instead of applied to it. Every TAG replica with a painted logo has it correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilazn Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Definitely like the previous version better with the date and cyclops on the left. The 43mm size was perfect and the bezel was much more eye catching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I like it. The size is just right it lost the cyclops (which only belongs on a Rolex IMO) and the new dial is so much nicer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronixshock Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 not bad but I don't like the pearl, looks out of place... Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 My proverbial boner for this watch has recently been resurrected... so to speak. I think this will be my next gen purchase, I have also completely come around on the 41mm size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Saw these at my local AD, they look and feel cheap, quite frankly awful watches..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
