Superb Watch for the Money January 3, 2010

This is my first Tag Aquaracer, and I decided to go with the recently introduced 500 Meter version because of its unique look that really stands apart in the crowded Submariner watch field. This watch departs from the all-too-common Submariner homage in several ways, with its molded rubber screw-down bezel and date window at 9 o'clock instead of 3 o'clock.
This watch is big and heavy but just oozes testosterone! My wrists are about 7.25 inches, so it doesn't look too big on me, although it is the biggest watch I have owned so the large diameter takes some getting used to. The diameter is 43 mm; the height about 12 mm, which is about 1 mm thinner than the automatic version, I think. The watch seems to wear smaller than its large size would suggest, however, and it doesn't feel heavy on the wrist.
I decided to go with the quartz version (although I prefer an auto) mainly due to the $400 price difference, and also I wanted a solid caseback instead of the see-through crystal caseback. The solid caseback is really cool, with the engraved diver helmet.
The detail and quality on the watch is superb, and I think Tag Heuer, despite the superstar hype and over-marketing, provides about the best quality watch for the money out there. I also considered Marcello C, Debaufre and the older versions of the Tag Aquaracer but ultimately decided on this one for the reasons described above. I very nearly purchased the Archimede Sport Taucher (Diver), but I thought the Tag looked more elegant, and not to metion the fact that it would be very difficult to service the Archimede in the US. (Archimede is only available direct from their website in Germany). I may consider an Archimede Arcadia dress watch in the future, though - they look very classie, yet simple.
Amazon's customer service is excellent. I ordered this watch with 2-day shipping (a $4 surcharge) and received it in less than 48 hours. It does not come with Tag Heuer's international warranty card, but instead with Amazon's 2-year warranty.... if you buy direct from Amazon. Watch the fine print carefully on that. Also, Amazon often provides 6 months interest-free financing on Tags, again, if Amazon is selling the watch directly.
Finally, don't worry.... This watch is a bonafide Tag Heuer, so don't be worried about authenticity!
I'm pretty sure this isn't an automatic model February 4, 2010

Just wanted to let everyone know that I think the information on the watch is incorrect. I believe this is the quartz model. The photo doesn't have the Calibre on it, and the model number refers to a quartz model. The automatics generally cost $1500+. Just a heads up--I could be wrong, but look into it before you spend the money. I don't own this watch (I only buy automatics).
