Would like to order an AquaRacer (Calibre 5)... which of the Factories is producing the best rep?
Thanks

Honestly not sure, but there are a few Aquaracers in M2M right now that haven't sold. You may be able to snag one of those at a great price compared to ordering new.

Try searching a bit, I remember not too long ago I saw a post comparing a rep Aquaracer to a gen version and they were very close. Can't remember where it was posted though.

Thanks chr... saw the post but no reference to any Factory.
Think the initial offering of the AqR was well over a year+ ago... so the TDs aren't showing any Factory in their current listing.

V6f is probably the best rep right now.. I would've purchased it, but it doesn't come with metallic strap or an all black version like mkf.. But avoid mkf since it has incorrect markers.. Basically the split in 3 6 9 markers is somwhere around the center which should actually be around 2/3 1/3 split like v6f.

Thanks WHN for your info on the markers.
From pics on several TD sites re: AqR, it looks like they are V6f versions without being stated as such.

Obviously you can order it from a td.

In answer to your "what's the best sub" question, this I think is the best aquaracer rep ever.

Check pure time and intime.. Both mention the vkf and mkf version clearly in the title. Make sure you buy from a td and verify the model and version before buying.. Cheers.

Thank man. Wow Gens are give or take $1k almost doesn't make sense to get a rep of this.
I agree, which is why I've not yet bought one. I just couldn't decide if I'd be happy with a ticking gen tag. Granted it'll run pretty much forever...since it's watch outlet, no QA, no returns so it'll be a complete gamble. Also, the other thing that has held me back is I refuse to have a diver which is not able to go into a pool. I fear buying one, then it's not able to pass a 3 or 4 ATM test, so it's off to be waterproofed, and now I'm into it for $200+...

Agreed, next time I'm in a no sales tax state like Oregon, maybe I'll pick up a gen, the blue 43mm MKF bracelet looks incredible and gen-like, and ppl have waterproofed it for swimming, but that rep is over $300...
