It's nice but for me, the very pale colours just doesn't do it for me. Here's one for sale on Jomashop at a pretty nice discount:

Thanks for the link !
I like the power reserve on the dial. Could it be the only heuer with power reserve indicator ?

By the way this is the IWC that i told you guys price so cheap

I was surprised to find IWC with price that low.

I heard Panerai also launched a diver watch with only 30m water resistance with cheaper price.

Jealous of Tag's recent sales numbers perhaps 😉 ?

I feel dirty.

Had a closer look at B&R and must admit that this is one sexy watch 😲

That's pretty nice. But I bet it's quite big.

I like these but I don't have 22,000 Euros... and if I did I'd buy something else.

43 mm is ok for a chrono I would say

Well it's OK for a watch with a bezel I guess as it means the dial is smaller in comparison. I have a 36mm Carrera chronograph so would argue the point on chronos needing to be that big 😀 This would be absolutely humongous if it was all dial.

This BR is crazyly priced. I was surprised when they launched it. My friend owned a BR01 big dial and it was far from this BR skeletonized in term of the price.

If you like BR then i recommend get the BR Red Radar. It is the most unique of their watch and doesn't cost arms&legs

The non-limited editions are fairly priced, and you can get good deals on the grey or used markets.

So i went to Longines store last night and saw this longines diver.

Gosh it was great and at the right price as well.

I am still waiting for any last minute regret that might come out.

The finishing level is surprisingly well. And i am surprise it was build domed sapphire (couldnt tell from the picture) like most of zenith elprimero chronograph.

Anyone that already fall in love with this longines should just pull the trigger. Its a superb watch IMHO

^ you did well; I am often tempted by this particular one.

Hi guys,

I wanna ask your opinion on this aquaracer calibre45.

What do you think of it ?

On comparison, would you choose calibre45 over the calibre16 ?

Looking forward to hear you guys opinion

Cheers

If it matters to you, the Calibre 16 is an ETA7750/Sellita SW500 and the Calibre 45 is a Sellita SW300 with DD4510 chronograph module.

I also rather like the Grand Date display on the Calibre 45.

Do you prefer the 3-6-9 configuration as well as opposed to 6-9-12 ?

I'm not sure I have a preference as I own both styles. My Maurice Lacroix is 3-6-9 and my two 1887s are obviously 6-9-12.

The reality is that if I was buying an Aquaracer it would not be a chronograph as I prefer the 3-hand models, but that is just my opinion.

That's what i thought too. Until recently i dont know why suddenly chronograph AR looks so attractive for me.

cal 45 is easier for me to read with the 3-6-9 and the date location but I like both (better of two good choices)

dtf · Oct 9, 2017

I prefer the 3-6-9 layout in general, and consider calibre-16 to be a very done layout/movement (I am currently wearing a cal 16 aquaracer). However in this case, I think the cal16 is the nicer watch, I don't like the grand date and the ceramic bezel of the new aquaracer looks fantastic.

You know what i also like about the cal16 AR is the second hand. It looks sharp and fantastic. I think they made a good choice differentiating it from the sub minute and the sub hour hand.
