Salam to all PG members its been a long time since I have bought myself a watch but now as my birthday is drawing closer I decided to give myself a nice present.

Tag Heuer has established quite a name for itself in Pakistan as we have the authorized dealerships in Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore that I know of maybe they are in other cities as well so its not difficult for anyone to go and check their watches out as for many other brands we just have to rely on YouTube and the internet for all the information.

I am still living in Beijing so I bought it locally from an AD in wangfujing for roughly 16500RMB and I think for the money its an amazing watch the build quality is top notch and the movement is calibre 5....its nothing fancy its ETA 2824 and its been regulated and modified so it gives amazing accuracy its close to the chronometer standards but its not officially certified. The power reserve is rated at 38 hours but from my past experience it will be close to 40 hours or so lets see. Its a reliable movement nonetheless and easy to maintain and service.







The case has a very nice finish with a nice ceramic bezel and a very nice black dial with ridges that really pops under direct sunlight and in different lighting situations can look plain black. I personally feel the amount of yellow accent done on this watch is perfect its not like the one they did on another blue variant where the seconds hand is all blue etc.




















It comes with a sapphire crystal with the cyclops on the 3’O clock position and gives a really nice magnifying effect to the date window. Its the baby submariner is all I can say



The bracelet is finished very well and feels
solid, comfortable and reliable it has the divers extensions and double safety clasps so it will not fall off the wrist or just open accidentally or unintentionally the only gripe I have is with the push pins for links I prefer the screw links better but none of the watches I know in this price range offer it......sad.





The case back is so tastefully done really like the vintage divers suit.......bioshock !!!





It certainly feels like a 2500$ watch and It could be an amazing buy at 2000$ price range and can compare to more expensive offerings from the likes of omega etc.

Enjoy some more



















Accuracy:

Well now that i have worn it for a day and a half the accuracy is +2 seconds for this period of time i will take note of how it performs over the week but if it retains this then i’d say its excellent

Wrist shot:













NOTE: The pictures were taken from the iPhone so yeah the quality is as to be expected my 70D is in Pakistan at the moment l....miss it dearly and I haven’t worn the watch yet just took off the wrapping from the front and back for pictures that’s why you can see them all around the bracelet it does make it look ugly but since i am planning to wear the first time on my birthday i will keep them on to keep it in as pristine condition as possible

Thanks and yeah it feels really solid on the wrist it has the 43mm dial....I haven’t measured my wrist though i prefer bigger watches for more wrist presence so anything from 40-44 is fine

43mm is still on the manageable side. Watches with 45mm diameter look really big.

BTW congrat on the watch, I am digging the yellow accents and the dial looks aesthetically pleasing.

Yes like Breitling looks nice and all but just too big to consider....but it might be the only brand with big watches that I’d ever choose.

I was sold the minute i saw those yellow accents they’re done just right

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
