I like the design, plus Hawaii is a special place for personal reasons. But it's not my favorite AR, I like the Night Diver more. Hence it was hard to justify the purchase.
I can appreciate the sentimental aspect can add value. Can also appreciate the Night Diver too, as that’s definitely more my thing.

Wouldn't it be awesome if they released the silver dial with the blue bezel though? That would be an easy win.

I agree. I very nearly bought that combo when I got my Seamaster. Great combination.

That Seamaster is lovely in the flesh but bland online. Still the green just pips it for me. Going to see what’s released this year but the SeaweedMaster is high up.

I agree all round. Only thing it misses is some coloured text on the dial.

I didn’t think it would make a difference but it looked odd after wearing my black one. Narrowed it down to that after feeling like something was missing.

Would be fine if I hadn’t worn the black one. Cool colour on the green nonetheless.

Welcome to the forum Bullitt1011. Great choice. If I could have got one back then I would have one too, but no dice. I tried and tried. Never mind I have the current green one instead.

Welcome to the forum, @BULLITT1011! With all the green releases earlier this week, it will be interesting to see whether the color presents itself again in the Aquaracers for 2024.

If TAG Heuer made this watch, I would absolutely buy one.

Thank you @Jim Dollares and @bpsmith - looking back on the model, there are some great looking watches. I’m not sure if asked to come up with my favorite ten Submariners that there would be enough variety to make an interesting list. Accessibility would be another factor, these Aquaracers are well within many collectors budget.

That looks great! Going on all the other bizarre evolutions of the Autavia, why not make an Aquatavia!

Has there ever been a two register 3-9 Aquaracer? Edit: kinda - the CAK211A countdown timer. Now, will a calibre 72 fit in a CAY218A case…

It's an abomination and you know it. But a quartz Formula 1 Monaco I could get on board with.

Will you have that in carbon fused ocean plastic or do you prefer grade 2 titanium sir?

Good point, I’d forgotten about the CAY211Z. I was never a fan due to the date window position. Those steel dive chronos are definitely chonky!

Don’t think they were good sellers. The quartz maybe. Personally I don’t mind it, framing is good & chrono hand doesn’t block it, it’s just not a big date which it’s trying to be.

I’ve always preferred a 3,6,9 dial layout for chronographs.

I also don’t think many doors would survive a whack against this watch.

An Autaquaracer. TAG has a chance to make the Aquaracer name even more of a mouthful 😁
