Folks — tag aqua racer was my first watch and now I want to upgrade. What would be a reasonable upgrade from this? Thanks in advance!

Below is the previous ceramic model, which I like better than the current. Super robust, looks amazing and high quality, and should be less than $3k new. I paid 2.6 for mine a couple of years ago, for reference.

It is the evolution of the famous Bond watch from Goldeneye and following movies (the previous auto version was the 2531.80)

I genuinely like its build quality better than the Black Bay (which I owned in the past), it is COSC certified and fits well both as a casual and dress watch

Nope! You can probably find them at a few ADs since it was discontinued (for the new model). It is also widely available used in good condition.

I just checked Jomashop (where I bought mine), and it is for $3.4 new. Seems that prices went up since the new model was released.

While I like this one I showed above better, the new one is pretty cool too (see below). However, it goes beyond your budget at $4.2k

Sorry, should have included bit more info. That Tag was about ~$1.2k and now I’m ready to shell out about $3-3.5k. I want a similar type watch — diver and a submariner would be awesome but afraid it’s a but above my budget. Thanks again folks

I recommend going in person instead of just calling

I terminated a former employee for consistently missing deadlines, v. poor quality of work (basic spelling mistakes), costed me $500k in errors and subsequently called him a “bottom-tier performer” to my girlfriend. Girlfriend thinks I’m being mean and not kind by calling people that because she thinks I’m putting them down. Note: never called any other team members that because they do good work. I don’t think I’ve said anything out of line - am I in the wrong here?

Thought/question I have been wondering for a while below.

I am about to start looking for engagement rings…. Thoughts on finding a jeweler that also sells Rolex’s and possibly try to get a bundle deal (looking for spend around 20ish k on the ring and just a datejust for the watch)?

I am in NYC but open to surrounding areas if anyone has any jeweler suggestions.

No idea if this is a stupid thought but figured it would be worth seeing if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this. TIA.
