    I Picked up this Tag Heuer Calibre 5 Aquaracer a few weeks ago because I'm an addict and realized I'll probably never be cool enough to get on the list for a Rolex "Hulk" Submariner like Swaye. I simply can't fathom shelling out 20k for a stainless steel sub that retails under 8, so I needed to go another route for my green diver fix.

    It's a pretty beefy 43mm, satisfying bezel click(though hard to grip), and the teak dial plays nicely with light. Tag is definitely entry level lux so no in house movement on this guy, but the build of the case and bracelet is quality (if not a little chunky).

    At 300m depth rating it out performs a lot of higher priced divers and the lume is loud which I love.

    It will be a fun watch to bang around on the river/boating this summer.






    Edit Bonus photo of a wrist shot with my nephew after gifting him his first watch (a $7 Goodwill find, might as well be a Rolex to him)

    Put the tag on a green NATO strap and it's officially Sacramento River Trash Ready:
