Aquaracer 500m Gold Bezel: your thoughts?

[Watchill]

Hi everyone,

I started to like the Tag Heuer Aquaracer with gold plated bezel very much, I found it on puretime.co for a reasonable price. Since I have never seen any QC-pictures of this one, I wanted to have your thoughts on this watch, is this pretty much gen-like or are there some give-away flaws?

If you have this watch, would be much appreciated if you could post some pictures of it.

Looking forward for your thoughts!

Regards

Its a nice rep. Maybe check the genuine version of this to compare. S0g3y iid, has posted a detailed side by side with the gen of the black bezel version, and the rep is scary close

It's a beautiful watch, I have the Swiss ETA version (with the un-decorated movement) Mine is the black version and it's a very accurate rep by all accounts.

I had some problem with the face emblem being slight off centre but the TD has rectified this by sending a new face via airmail.

Also check the QC photos to make sure the TAG Heuer writing on the rotor is good quality, mine appears to have bled slightly down the grooves left by the Geneva striping and it looks scruffy. I am hoping to polish off the excess when I open her up to change the face.

Good luck

Gen Versions...

Kavarsit always takes the greatest pics!

Rep...

Hrmery. The numerals on the bezel are polished gold on the gen, steel on the rep. Maybe they're different generations?

I can't find any with the two-tone bezel, all I've been able to see are solid gold.

I did find this by accident though!

I love this one, take it any day over black and gold!

Would be easy enough to sort out with an all gold one, using a dremel polishing tool on just the numbers, removing the gold to reveal a polish stainless steel finish

The steel numerals on the gold bezel is a major flaw then, I think I will rather choose the black version...

Thank you all for your helpful replys!
