At the time of this review, I've only had for a week. I was able to get this AR when it was 62% off retail. This is a fabulous price for this TAG. I love this watch and the unique electro-mechanical movement. The orange second hand and sub-dial tips against the blue face is striking and a perfect match - an absolute must see in person. The solid look and feel of this watch make it look and feel bomb proof. This is my first venture into the premium watch market, and I am very pleased with this purchase, especially at the price paid.

Cool:
Blue face with the bi-directional subdial look great and are unique to TH.
Date indicated by subdials. Unique feature, especially considering it is perpetual until 2099!
Uni-directional rotating outer bezel surrounding a stationary inner bezel...neet!
Accurate 1/100th Chronograph! Not that you'll need this accuracy considering we humans can't react that fast.
Heavy-duty watch band and button clasp. Solid look and feel, no broken finger nails when opening clasp.
300M submersible. It'll go deaper than you ever will! (Except for the 1/10000000 persons that are trained for deep dive#.
It's a TAG Heuer Aquaracer for less than $1100 #at time of purchase#.

Not so Cool:
At 45mm diameter it is big, if you have small wrists this may be a problem, no problem if you don't.

I've done a significant amount of research on various watches in this and higher leagues. Many 'enthusiasts' will judge this as Quartz movement and thus not worthy to be considered. However, what I like about this Calibre S movement is it's unique hybrid movement #and appearance# is designed by in house by TH and used only by TH. Many of the other TH automatic's and most other Swiss watch makers share the same ETA made movements #not necessarily a bad thing# that may be slightly modified for the specific watch model.

For those considering, this Calibre S AR is now discontinued from TH, so many AD's no longer have this one in stock, and those that do are probably offering 30% savings for in stock inventory. However, even with the 30% off from a local dealer, it would have cost me $1500 more to buy local.

You won't be dissapointed. I certainly am not!

Happy shopping.


Phew! My Husband Like It..., March 6, 2010

I got it for my husband as his birthday present. Fortunately he likes it, as we stay outside USA, it is difficult for us to return the watch if he doesn't like it. Prior to the purchase, I've done research online and at the boutiques. I love the blue dial, which is much brighter than the picture on Amazon. The logo is rather dull though, it's not obvious that it's a TH logo, but he does not seem to mind it. The size is just right for my husband's wrist, I feel it fits better than the 41mm TH that he has, but may look too big on a thin wrist. I was happy with the packaging and the speed of delivery, it took merely 4 days for it to be sent to Singapore. While I paid a premium on delivery, it is still much economical to get it from Amazon, though our local retailers usually gives a good 20-25% discount off the retail price. I'm just crossing my fingers that it'll continue to work well, if I have to send it back to Amazon for repair, it'll be too costly. So far, I'm happy with my purchase.

Everything on time and exactly what I ordered!!, April 17, 2010

This review is from: TAG Heuer Men's CAF7012.BA0815 Aquaracer Calibre S Chronograph Watch
I have been interested in purchasing a Tag for years and have considered many models. When the CAF7012.BA0815, an Aquaracer Calibre S Chronograph, became available at such a fantastic discount, I decided that now was the time. I am very leery about utilizing the Internet for large purchases, however, this was going to be through Amazon.com, which reduced my skepticism. I had read reviews on other company's websites, where customers were stating that they were not getting the product they ordered, or it was not new, or that it was ordered weeks ago and still has not been shipped. Amazon's reviews were very favorable, so I went ahead and ordered the watch. I decided to use their 1-800 number, so that I would be speaking with an employee of Amazon. The conversation was polite, helpful and informative, so I ordered the watch. Three business days later, I was wearing the watch. It came in the original Tag Heuer box, with all of the original plastic stickers and wrappings and all of the booklets and manuals. The shipping packaging was more than adequate to protect the watch. They could have dropped this thing from the UPS truck at 50 mph, and the watch still would have been fine. So, all in all, I am very pleased with the watch, the delivery time and Amazon's customer service.
