When I younger and lived in the UK Tag H was the watch to have ( it was an 80s Icon ) and I like many others had a 2000 series ( mine however was an Automatic ) it was strong and looked good . Later on the image went astray I got wealthier and left the brand .
About a month ago I was in a dealer in Singapore having bought a new strap for my Sinn U1 and I noticed the Aquaracer 500m in the case , I looked at it and it really struck a chord .. Twenty mins later and one tax refund receipt in hand a Tag Aquaracer was in the box , I wore it and I loved it it is truley a fine watch even if it is a Tag it looks good it to me is the ultimate "carved from a solid lump " look that I love so much.
Three weeks later while I was in the Phillipines I saw a 500 M replica so I looked and for a lot less money I once again left with a Tag ( this one having never seen Switzerland with its birthplace firmly in China ). I thought lets kepe the original looking good and wear the Rep .. These are the pics of why I do it with no worries of being caught out . The only clue is the the Badge on the face it is not so carved in its look but other than that the difference is NIL. In the flesh they are the same any difference you see here is the photo .
Which one is the original .. I will leave you to decide
