    I'm considering getting one of the discontinued blue and orange Aquatimer Chrono, but I would really appreciate some of your input and valued opinions.

    Thanks in advance!

    I had this AT color combination very early in it's product life cycle, but I still considered it a "NY Mets" watch as orange & blue are that team's colors.
    Being a lifelong NY Yankee fan I switched to the current white and blue colors version when it was released. The AT watch itself is a great piece we are only talking about colors. If you like it as I did go for it.
    Just MHO.

    Regards,
    Kevin

    PS Jeronimo, I'm not sure where you are located so I'll just say Mets and Yankees are USA baseball teams.

    Thanks, Kevin!

    I'm European but I live mostly between southern Africa and the Far East, as you guessed don't know much about baseball. I already have an AT, and I think both your blue/white and the latest Cousteau are much more discreet and elegant, but I have quite a few discreet and elegant watches and the originality of the Blue/Orange has been appealing to me for a while.

    If you like the orange go for it. Color is a matter of taste. The "Fanta" AT 2000 is another orange Aquatimer which attracts those who like an accent color.

    I like that watch. If there was a lot more orange it might not appeal to me but what's there makes a nice accent. I don't think it's a watch that could be dressed up but as you note, you have other watches that are elegant.

    Thank you, David.

    When I bought my Black/Yellow AT I was actually pondering one of these, but they were already discontinued. These past few days when I found one new (old stock) with SS bracelet it just started another attack of our very well known virus! :-)

    I was contemplating the new Inge AMG limited edition that you saw a couple of weeks ago, but I reckon that when I manage to get myself to a Boutique (probably in December) I'll hardly find one available... I also thought that, since next year we will likely see a few new Inges, I might as well wait and see.

    Cheers!
