Yep but it does not bother me. As long as it does a good job, I'm happy with it

Not sure what is the "surprisingly" element you mean?
mind to share around?

I think he means because recently Tag has announced that they are reducing their reliance on ETA movts, and developing their own in house movts with collaboration with Seiko.

So this new model having an ETA movt seems surprising.

spot on

i thought Tag announced that they started using Sellita 2-3 years back and by now should be full fledged...

Googled around found that there's actually no sellita movement that is equivalent to ETA2893 although they have the equivalent to ETA2892 the SW300....
guess that is reason...?

there are certain issues regarding the machines and technical abilities of the Seilita factory.

I think we sway a little from the original subject. No worries on the movement guys. Just providing a platform for Aquaracer lovers to share their piece. Cheers!

[swleong]

looks like a cool and robust watch to me 

is the bezel ceramic?

[Narco]

Yep swleong bro, the first Aquaracer ceramic gmt. 

[james]

wow... i like it. may i know how many % discount ? how much for it? tq

[gunsnroses]

Yep swleong bro, the first Aquaracer ceramic gmt. 

A lot of firsts of late from Tag Heuer.

The new Formula 1 range has an automatic Calibre 6 as well and it looks real good.

[Timeless]

Nice sporty look, may i knoe what's rhe case size?

[Narco]

James bro, no discount for this and this is only available in boutique.

Gunsnroses bro, I agree. The other 500 series is also on ceramic (make a good collector item in years to come?)

femann bro, it's 41mm. Just nice on my wrist
