·That pic is super cool, @Jim Dollares. Was this at a lake or a beach?

·Something very sensual, and sexual, about this video. The money shot in the end when he jumps in the water and gets his Aquaracer totally wet, I mean wow.

·I can’t help thinking that he would have added more flair though, if it was him creating it. 😉
This guy has just filmed himself walking/running in snow, then shown himself wearing a watch. Then chopped a log, wearing a watch. Then been on a boat, wearing a watch. I mean, other than swimming in a lake, it’s what people surely do every day in many parts of the world?

·Agree on the link to Jim in the video.

Maybe I enjoyed the throwback music! Agree was expecting some review, not just what normal IKEA men do

·All,
After months of B.S. I now have my genuine WAY201 back in-hand from Tag. I was able to get it on eBay form a seller who claimed it was given to her by Tag for a video. Watch was new and unworn. Thanks to all who helped along the way, and big eff you to all the scammers who tried to offer up counterfeit Aquas!! 😝
I sent it in for basic service (waterproofing) immediately after delivery. At least now I know it's genuine, and has been re-waterproofed which is always good. One thing I noticed about the watch was the end links were a tad sloppy. Tag sent me the correct pins at no cost, and put the old ones in a baggie. For whatever reason this piece had the rubber/silicone band pins on the stainless bracelet. No slop at all whatsoever after correct pins were installed. Also the faux leather box looks brown-ish under light, not sure if that is normal. Starting to think this piece was for marketing and not retail, either way, it's kind of a cool story.

·Glad to hear it all worked out for you, that is a modern classic you have there. Water resistance being confirmed is such a turn on, make sure to get that bad boy nice and wet and enjoy summer!
I’m going to call Tag tomorrow and let them know. I could probably buy a tool but I paid them $240 to waterproof it and I’d think case back is included in that. Sucks. Just got the watch back yesterday evening.

·You aren’t going to believe this…I literally just took the watch off so I could do yard work and was inspecting it in my bathroom under the bright light. The freaking case back wasn’t tight. It turned with two fingers and little to no pressure. WTF!

·@Aquagraph Rob, how do you find your green aquaracer, any faux pas on what to wear with it? Find it goes with most attires? The Omega Seaweed is becoming more appealing to me, yet I'm not sure if the green is a 'fad' @Jemagloh might be able to help out also.
Also might be on the hunt for WAN2110 once my bonus comes in the end of the month (that and a new bike) after my recent accident

…New Bike...
It’s only a fad if you buy it solely because they appear to be the current fashion. If you buy it because YOU like it, you then it will never be a problem! 😀
That was my feeling when I bought my Orange one. I still really like the colour and find it goes with a lot more stuff than I first thought. Green will be even more acceptable with nearly any clothing in my opinion.
I am hankering after that Ice Green Navitimer for maybe later in the year. It just really caught my eye and looks even better on wrist, now I have tried it. It’s not the fashionable dark green, and not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think it just looks epic when the light catches it. Buy for how it makes you feel and not others is my style.
I am intrigued by the new bike comment. Motorbike or bicycle?

True & I think the white accents & void of any other colour work on this one. Plus is a very dark subdued green.
True, by what you like & wear rather than conform! Is the ice green once the pistachio one? (which I like).
Bicycle I'm afraid, will just look to upgrade my now destroyed cyclocross for a road bike

I like the Pistachio Premier model too, but the Navitimer is as below. Like all three of those colours tbh, but Green is top choice for me.
I was actually hoping you’d say bicycle, as that’s my thing these days. 😀 What are you fancying?

I wear lots of blues, so the orange Aquaracer and green Seamaster often go well with my attire. Although I no longer have my WAY201S green Aquaracer, you may remember that it had a brighter green dial and bezel. I loved that shade (and it screamed green in a good way), and I did not find it limiting. As the green Seamaster is quite a bit darker (until blasted by direct sunlight), I find it to be even more versatile. Bear in mind that I do wear it on the bracelet which I know you don't like. Any rubber strap could make a piece slightly more limiting (to me), but with that being said, I intend to order the green matching rubber strap from my AD.
