Saw it all weekend during PGA Championship commercial breaks. I like it and I’ve just about talked myself into buying it.


ETA is there a mechanical or performance reason to not purchase this watch? How hard is it to swap bands/straps on something like this?

Gorgeous watch. Would look sharp on a leather strap too. I say pull the trigger

If you like it buy it. Looks sharp - personally I’d swap out the band.

Just ugly watch in my opinion and that's without seeing the price..... but it's going on your wrist not mine, so if you like it, piss on what anyone else thinks.

I care because there are some posters here that know a lot about watches. I do not. I didn’t know if there is possibly some mechanical/performance reason that would make this a poor choice.

How hard is it to swap out bands/straps on something like this? I figure if I buy the watch I’ll buy multiple bands so I can switch it up when I want to

Shouldn't be that hard to do. Watch is definitely nice, the band, not so much.

Nothing wrong with the Aqua Terra, I am a fan of the 8900 movement. That said I unless you really want the green adorned Garcia version then I would suggest getting one with the bracelet and wearing it on NATO or leather from time to time. This is especially true if you don't have at least 3-4 watches in rotation.

The Golf versions Garcia or Rory run about $4000-4300. I think retail is about 5400.

NATO straps can be switched out in a couple of minutes, moving to leather or other bands that enclose the spring pins (NATO straps wrap around them) can be done in 5-10 minutes depending on how proficient you are.
