My "New To Me" Gen Tag Aquaracer 500m

Recommended Posts

I was very excited to receive my "New To Me" Gen Tag Aquaracer 500m yesterday in the mail.

 

Thought I would share a few quick pics from yesterday.....

A few wrisities when I was on my way out the door for golf ....

Overall I was very happy with the condition, the crystal was in perfect shape.

However, the bracelet is pretty beat up as you can see below....

I'll post some before and after pics once the bracelet gets the Cape Cod/Scotchbrite treatment.

 

Anyways, overall I am very satisfied with it and though my Carrera Day Date from WI feels like about the same build quality (the bracelet on the Gen feels nicer), I was still happy to pick up this Gen to add to my collection.

 

I'll do a proper photoshoot when I get the bracelet all cleaned up.

Nice one, bit of work needed with the scotchbrite but other than that its looks very decent.

 

GLWS - good luck with Scotchbrite :giggle:

No doubt, if I had gotten the rep of this I would have done a side by side, but HWG has already aptly covered that with the chrono, so not necessary.

Thanks, it's funny I kind of wanted something to do a little bit of work on. Almost like a mini-restoration, makes it feel a little more personal.

...nice watch mate...I've considered the blue rep of this for quite some time...the only thing that has held me back is the supposed date font/magnification flaw?

 

...sooooooooo, if poss, when you do another photoshoot, could you do a clearer shot of the area in question...thanks... ;)

Thanks Scone, I can definitely do that, I'll get a nice square on front shot when I put it in the light tent.
