CLC Aikon and Aquaracer are my two favourite 2k watches!!

I was in a Tag Boutique today, I tried on the blue dial and the Grey. Both were stunning, The grey won me over. It’s smart, Classy, sexy and sophisticated. Safe to say I am in love. So much watch for a low price tag 😉 It’s a 👍 up from me

Dude. Always good to see your videos. You always give me a laugh. What about your uncle flares when he hears “Corona”? As for the watch, it doesn’t do anything for me. There’s a lot of watches with that movement that have comparable specs and are a lot cheaper. But if it moves you, it’s def a respectable watch.

Excellent review thanks! I've a small wrist (6.5"), but I've a tendency for larger watches, e.g my 43mm Carrera wears pretty big. My smallest watch was a 40mm bezel-less microbrand, but I found it too small. I'm not sure how I would feel about this Aquaracer given it has a bezel, the dial looks pretty small. I really like the blue on this as I gather the 43mm blue version is more navy than blue. They dropped the ceramic bezel (pity) but added polished centre links on the bracelet (nice). I think I might still get the 43mm night diver aquaracer, as it should wear smaller with the black case.

@@WatchTheFreshFaces I must be in the minority for far preferring the 40mm size. This is a very elegant watch, and that elegance comes across far better in the 40mm.

Compared to b&m riviera, what do you think?

Damn, that looks sporty. Great dial, the strong pont imo. You said in the beginning of the video that they downsized, but you forgot to mention the dimentions. What are they? Also, you should talk sometime about buying pre owned, think it works very well with the brand TAG-Heuer, as they tank in prices. Bet this one will also, so it will be even a better deal given a few months/year

Thanks for sharing guys! I've always shied away from pre-owned for two main reasons. First, they're often single pieces meaning that the video will have little value as soon as the watch is sold. Second, this market is very much determined by sellers and their tricks. It would require me to fully trust on the information the seller is providing, which would be contrary to my principles. By far most sellers of vintage watches are swindlers - and not as much fun to work with as you might think...

Looks great but I'll take the (no date) quartz. From another Aquaracer review "I was recently given a £700 service and repair bill from Breitling (automatic watch)"

Like your channel and your video here. Interesting, the bezel actually has twelve sides which makes it a dodecagon-shaped bezel (LOL). So it's a dodecagonal-shaped bezel. Dodecagon sounds like "Dogecoin". :-)

Hi Lex, oh yeah, I think that would be a great choice indeed! Quality is unquestionable and I do think the looks are worthwhile as well :) Do you have a specific colour in mind?
