A dilemma for me…

I have the Professional 300 but managed to purchase the BNIB 200 at a cracking price to sell on. The problem is I think I prefer the 200.

I am a big fan of the 300, with an Orange one on my wrist right now like @Jemagloh. I also like the 200 a lot too.

I have to admit that whilst I love the Green fumé dial, I didn’t think I liked the Black version. That is until I saw your photo. It looks great in that light, so I can totally see why you are torn, as the Black 300 is also very cool.

As suggested already, is there space for you to keep both? If not, on the strength of those comparison photos alone, I think the 200 edges it.

If only it had a quick adjust clasp…

I agree it looks cool in that photo. In person I found it had a tendency to look brown...

It didn’t matter to you anyway, as you were adamant the Green was the one. Which has since been borne out to be an absolute solid choice.

True. And I still think the green dial is the best one. Yes.

But maybe not if you only have one watch.

I wouldn't have a green dial as my only watch I don't think... more likely black or dark blue

I could see your green Aquaracer being quite versatile, @Aquagraph. 👍

I agree. I bet it looks great with jeans or shorts right now, but equally suited to smarter outfits too.

Better than the old green one for sure, that was very green.

That’s all I ever wear, last suit time was in January due to a funeral attendance.

Same as me then, albeit it was last month for me.

I hope no one I know dies, I don't think I will be able to fit in my suit

Nice! TAG should use black mother of pearl again.

Indeed. If Rolex can do it…

I think your Aquaracer looks better, honestly

Sorry, I don’t follow Rolex closely enough to know what is in or out of production, but I do like their MOP offerings. All the men’s Tag MOPs also look great!

Agree that some Tags look better than other brands. Speaking of which, I’ve been close to pulling the trigger on another Aquaracer, WBD2111…
