Just ordered a Tag Aquaracer 500M

Any fans out there? I've really been drawn to it since I saw it at an AD. You can find great deals off the MSRP on amazon. I got the rubber strap model. Cant wait to get it in the rotation with my GMT and Sub. I've heard different opinions on it....what's yours?

I have owned the silver face auto on bracelet. Much higher quality than I was used to from Tag. The bracelet was fantastic. Great watch...congrats!!

I've had mine for 5 months and love it but have an itch for something else so I'm selling. I'm sure I'll take a major hit but such is the biz. :)

Hi Jack. I'm new to the forum but saw your post & wanted to share. I received the Aquaracer 500m Limited Edition as an engagement gift from my fiancee last December and I love it. I just picked up the rubber bracelet to use for the summer and it's even more striking. I hope you're enjoying yours just as much.

I got the 500M last year, black dial, automatic, stainless steel bracelet. It's a beautiful watch, but starts feeling a bit heavy on the wrist at the end of the day. It's in a display case/winder now, as a SS Sub-c is my daily wear watch.

I think it's a nice watch that has elevated the Tag brand a bit. It is designed as a tool watch, unlike so many Rolexes that everyone thinks are such tool watches. It has a rubberized bezel (no cracking no marring), brushed case and bracelet, thick bracelet links befitting a tool watch, and a perfect sized case. That said, I love the limited edition version with the polished case sides and center links, and the gorgeous dial.

RJ, can you share a picture of your TAG 500M Limited Edition Aquaracer? Not sure I've seen one.

Thanks,
Randy
