I'd go with the Carrera- very nice and classy, and the Carrera heritage is a deal-clincher, IMHO. Aqua seems to be really common these days- you see every Tom, Dick and Harry wearing one.
yeah... most of them i see are wearing the quartz 39mm version, but most people won't be able to tell if its quartz/mechanical, they just know it's a Tag :Confused:

well... went to the Tag boutique in KLCC... got to know that:
1. white dial Carrera no more in stock...
2. price increase of around 7-8% next month...
3. discount capped at (removed)

anyway, since i was there, tried on the white dial Aqua... and the black dial Carrera

white is definitely better looking ;D


the black dial Carrera... too small... not nice :'(

No discussion on discounts. Please us PM. Thank you. Hanz

I felt that it is quite easy to choose between these two.  Do you prefer a sporty watch or a dressy watch? That is all really.  ;)

Aquaracer due to it's sporty characteristic. Can be worn for both casual use as well as more "serious" times. .

since you are allergic to leather, Aqua then.
my choice will be black carrera twin time amongst the 2.

Twin time with white dial. specifically. The dial design of twin time is more balance with the present of curtailed hour marker beside date window. Hour marker at 3 o'clock position has been omitted in Aquaracer. The inner GMT ring is also a ingenious design to render classical look.
