Newest Aquaracer Calibre 5 300m 2016 model

[jovame]

Got mine, have to say this is one of the best reps I have had. Build quality is very high and feel and look is very genuine like. And the light play on the dial, that is something special. I know this has its flaws but I really could not care less.

Totally agree. I was one of the first to receive this watch (I'm the OP of this thread) and I also couldn't care less about the markers being off a little. It has quickly become one of my favourites and the build quality is amazing.
I guess it's the big question again: do you collect reps because you think they are beautiful and you love how they look and feel on your wrist, including any flaws they might have? Or do you wear them to impress people and to let them think you can afford a real Swiss luxury watch (and thus are afraid to be "called out")?

Almost wish I'd gone for the blue version lol.
I have ZERO issue with the hour markers. I recon the only people who'd ever call you on this would be a fellow "rep head".
It is certainly weighty!!!
Having had a Tudor Pelagos in titanium as my last rep and since Xmas, wearing an Apple Watch 2, this feels immense on my wrist.
It's wrist presence is superb. Build quality is excellent. And thanks again Ryan for a great deal. [emoji106][emoji41][emoji106]

Is this "Aquaracer" rep "Aquacapable"? Has anyone tested it in water or had it water treated and tested?

I have tested mine at 5 bar, and it pass. If your watch have all seals it will be wr.
I agree that this watch is good enought out of the box.

Did someone buy the cheapie? I'm wondering if it's worth to pay more for the expensive one.

My experience is if you buy a cheapie you will never really be happy with it and it will will either be flipped or never really worn

Totally agree with you. that beauty! Is this from MKF?

One more as it is a sunny day here in Sunnydale. Picture really cannot capture this beauty well enough.

Yes it is MK Factory model. Just got it water tested and it is good for swimming and bathing. The only "bad" thing to say about this is that the movement holder is plastic. It could be metal but really does not matter. Just saying. Other than that, the movement was super clean when I opened it and greased the seals.

You would not belive but the gen has also a plastic movement holder.

Good to know that. This will be my next purchase then!

That's good to know. Guess that's why Tags are not that popular, at least in my country.

One more reason not to buy the gen!
