Tag Heuer Aquaracer calibre 5 Help needed

[donny007]

Hey there!
I am looking for a decent rep Tag heuer to add on my collection but I need help choosing from the right factory. I see there is KOR, XTF, TARF, OF, and V6F. I read somewhere that KOR and OF is the same factory but I’m not sure if that’s true. Also, I see that V6F has a good rep with a decent price of $218. What do you guys suggest me? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Which model man calibre 5 is too broad?

The new release V6F is nothing like the old ones, price is you get what you pay for.

Its a shame as i like tag and wish they had more models.

Besides the movement, is there any difference between V6F and OF when it comes to bezel, crystal and the case?

Original Factory is way to go. Expensive but worth it.

Here my V6F is!

 

[andybilsy]

Here my V6F is!

Thanks I'm going to pull the trigger on a new one of these that's on special offer from TRUSTY TIME

 

[Caboose]

Here my V6F is!

Looks good! Can you give any insight on any flaws you have noticed or anything you wish could be better? For ~$218 from TT, that looks like a great deal. Any rotor noise?

@Caboose as I said ealier this morning to andyblisy

@andybilsy have you ordered the same V6F as mine? The strap is not that bad, just extremely hard to bend when new - it took me half an hour to patiently fit it on my wrist once I got it

I have it since mid January, this is how the strap looks like after having been in closed position since day one:



I have a tiny 16.5 cm wrist, so maybe the strap may accomodate more easily around a wider one.
Cyclope lens could be better: it zooms too much and ends up twisting the date
Rotor is extremely quiet, much much quieter than my ZF SMP's.
I also suppose that happens because winding here is bi-directional?
It's a nice color combo and the perfect diver when you want to fly under the radar.
And IMHO bang for buck is high .
