**New Pics added 10/10/15** Tag Aquaracer Calibre 5 white dial

Recommended Posts

Lagger

Hello all,

 

I bought this 500m Aquaracer white dial knowing fine well it is a fantasy dial on a super rep, and incidentally the first watch I bought Wholesale (WS over at RWI FYI) saving a very useful $80.

 

I bought it on rubber with a white dial because if I had another dark dialled bracelet diver I would scream! and I wanted a tag in my little collection which is nearly finished photos to follow!

 

Anyway the watch,

beautiful you would agree, it has a nice tight bezel and it would be easier listing its faults as minor as they are, please don't think I'm knocking it as the only 'perfect' watch I have ever had is my gen Hamilton (thanks DVNE!)

Right the rotor is slightly noisy, like it needs a dab of lubrication, which it will get as it is off to Rolie for a half service, not really bad but a bit louder than my other 2824 clones.

 

the pearl is slightly and I mean slightly raised not recessed like gen, I can't capture tis but I give it a go!

and the deployment is a little to 'gaping' when closed, its not loose but I Feel it could do with being closer to the rubber

A few random shots for you

overall very pleased and would recommend this rep!

 

 

 

*****EDIT NEW PICS******

 

 

Well after deciding I don't like rubber straps that much and not wanting another bracelet watch I was just about to list this M2M but decided to try it on a BOB (Waccex) Buffalo strap,,,,,,,,,,,and I think it has just earned a slot on the keepers list a bit longer, great straps for the price that's for sure!

Nice. I've been eyeing that very watch.

 

WS is hard to beat, I've ordered three watches from them and all have been stellar!
