TAG Heuer Men's CAF2110.BA0809 2000 Aquaracer Automatic Chronograph Watch
Product Description
Designed with professional divers in mind, the Aquaracer Automatic CAF2110.BA0809 from TAG Heuer combines state-of-the-art timekeeping technology with sporty, prestige styling. Equipped with calibre 16 automatic movement, this watch winds itself with the natural motion of your wrist and does not require a battery. It features a round black dial with luminescent hands and markers, a monochrome TAG Heuer logo, and an automatic date calendar at the three o'clock position. Three subdials display 1/10 second, small seconds, and 30-minute registers. A stationary inner bezel, with a seconds ruler, frames the dial, surrounded by a unidirectional rotating outer bezel with a dive time scale and a luminous marker. Set in a 41 mm brushed steel case that fits comfortably to the contours of your wrist, this watch presents on a handsome and durable steel link bracelet with brushed and polished pieces. The bracelet features an extension system for divers and fastens with a fold over clasp with safety.
I order this model from Amazon, for US$1,299.00 the only difference was that it was in white. I was unsure because the price was too low, but decided to go ahead, the watch is original & Brand New, and in perfect conditions, LOVE IT!!! Specially the price. Of course from Amazon you do not get an international warranty, just the Amazon one which I think is enough, I think in this issue consists the price reduction becuase Amazon is not an authorized retailer from TAG, but in this kind of watches rarely you'll need to repair them, ans you have a warranty for it... The delivery was amazing, right on the spot.
The Watch:
At first I was not too keen on the shinny markers of the rotating crown, until I gave it a very strong hit against a pool bottom, while diving, this markers are an excellent protection against this kind of accidents. Sapphire crystal has already been given various tests and pass with flying colors. Of course this is an automatic, do not expect the accuracy of a quartz, but if you know about watches you'll get an automatic, well worth timepiece. What I liked most about this watch is the disposition of the chronometer, very similar to the Link (200m Water Resistance), and Carrera models(50m Water Resistance), but with 300 meters resistance to water and with lower price.
On the down sides, the crown rotates to easy for my taste, the bracelet polished parts will get scratched as well as the shiny markers on the rotating crown and the security clasp will wear down over time, but still FIVE STARS for the watch, TAG HEUER and AMAZON are my personal favorites...
Be sure to check all offers, this watches become available from time to time in the great deals around $1,300.00 from AMAZON... I surely will buy another one for my collection.
Tough as Nails
I've had this automatic chronograph for a little over 3 years now. I wear it to work every day (I work in a restaurant) and really just beat the h*** out of it, bang it on hard surfaces, get it close to really hot heat sources, submerge it in water, you name it. It still looks really great despite a few nicks in the black part of the bezel. Every Saturday night I get home from work and clean it under running water with a mild soap and a tooth-brush, and it ends up looking almost new. It took a little while to get used to the feel of it on my wrist (Its heavier then any of my old Omegas I used to own) but after a week or two it felt like it was made for me. So after 3 years and much uncalled for abuse, it only loses a few minutes a month. The chronograph is exceptionally accurate, and very useful when cooking. Bezel still turns like new. Its very versatile and looks just as good with a suit as it does jeans and boots. My one and ONLY complaint is that it is becoming rather ubiquitous these days. I see on average 1 person a week with the same exact model (Black dial). I suppose its my fault for not having more unique taste in my timepieces, but its still rather annoying. Cant blame that one on Tag though.
Great service!
Made a mistake and ordered this watch. Called the next day and they were extremely helpful. Cancelled the order with not problem. Made me want to shop with them in the future.
Ultimately ordered the watch. It is beautiful and runs flawlessly so far (with a valjoux 7750) I would expect it to. This is one of the main reasons I ordered the watch aside from price was to get this movement in a less than gigantic watch that can dress up or down. Amazon's service is great -- no problems. Two amendments: The first time I ordered it I received a used watch (links removed, no plastic wraping). They took it back immediately and sent a new one. Also the price quoted is the price without tax. I am not used to paying tax on the net and amazon should alert you to this added expense.
