Hi All,

Please follow the link below to my review of the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500 range. These diver's timepieces really do offer exceptional value.

As always your comments and critique are always welcome.

Nice review.

I have always been drawn to the 3 hand version when I see it in the display. And the price is silly good. But the case is where it falls apart for me. The dial and bezel are so interesting that the bland case suffers by comparision. Still, for the price after discount, I've come close on several occasions.

I couldn't agree more Mr Shark.

I think that Tag Heuer should have afforded the Calibre 5 model the same satin/polish finish contrast as the chrono model.

Hi Mike,

I have just borrowed the Rose Gold Bezel model on the rubber strap. I shall update the blog in the very near future.

Here are a few tasters:

Not big on TAG, but I love that model, and have nearly pulled the trigger on it a few times. The rose gold is just awesome. Some seem turned off by gold on a diver, but I think its great.
