·Hi,
I'm thinking about buying this model (WBP1114).
https://www.tagheuer.com/fr/fr/mont...r-aquaracer/40-mm-th50-00/WBP1114.BA0000.html
I perceive several advantages (after owning several Aquaracer 41mm and 43mm 2015 editions and after several Aquaracer Pro 300 black dial and one Pro 200 black dial (2021/2022 edition), all with that Sellita movement shit :
- no Sellita movement
- a nice size of 40mm.
I think it's a pity not to have an adjustable buckle like on the Pro 300.
I'm actually hesitating whether to take a black dial Pro 200 or this steel Solargraph.

·I loved the Solargraph concept from the moment it was released, but even more so after my issues with the 300. Would have bought instead of my Orantebone if I could have found stock.
I have since tried on the Titanium version alongside the Carbon bezel and the Carbon version felt and looked so much better. That’s my personal opinion anyway.
Your mileage may vary, but the Titanium felt toy like with its weight and hollow feeling.

·Hi,
I think you're right, Jim.
I fell in love with the concept very quickly.
It will allow me to wear it whenever I want without worrying about winding the watch, and to wear my Carrera, Monaco and other watches in peace.
My problem is that I've been a true Tag Heuer enthusiast for the past 22 years and I've bought 66 Tag Heuer watches over that period.
Even if for tool watches I prefer the quality of my Tudors, my favourite brand is still Tag Heuer and when I wear something else, I always feel like I'm cheating on my wife 😀

·Clearly watch collecting is not a rational logical thing. I think many of us here face a similar situation where the brain knows the TAG is not the best watch from a functional and quality perspective but our hearts and emotions can't let go of the favourite brand. I guess this is why we refer to TAG as the Alfa Romeo of watches, we love the designs and how they make us feel, but we know we will have problems and that maintenance will be a headache from time to time.
Many have a problem with a one tick per second ticking seconds hand, is this a concern to you when considering the solar power?

·You're absolutely right, and you've summed up the situation perfectly.
The second hand is the only thing that bothers me (as well as the central link which is polished and not brushed, but that can be changed without too much difficulty).
But with the "tool watch" role used from time to time, I really don't think it will bother me.
The trio of Tag Heuer CBS2210 / CAW211B and this Solargraph may be just right for me.

·No idea. They all tick at the end of the day, just some more than others.
