Any comments on tag heuer Aqua racer? Was window shopping and Saw got new model with ceramic bezel. Retail price 3.9k >_> I read online all the flak tag gets 😅😆. Horrendous resale value is one of them.

Its true that the resale value sucks. But i usually buy what i want and i am also thinking of this new tag aquaracer. But luckily i did not get it last year. This year they released the same watch at 43mm in size!!!

This is something about the way they work that i do not like. I would have kicked myself if i had bought the smaller version and jus a few months later, the bigger one is released.

Helped my parents test their watch accuracy.

One is a 1984 day date and one is a 1996 date just.

Quite impressed. Never been serviced Rolex

Hi may I know what app is that? Does it use atomic clock to check the accuracy?

Hi bro,

Use an app call hairspring on iOS .

It dun compare with atomic clock but rather measure the beat rate via microphone pick up.

No way a gold standard but general sensing is not too far off with my own testing at least in the magnitude.

Cheers.
