The Shit That Killed Elvis 10 / 12

Now before you even say it, yes, these bear more than a passing resemblance to Tudor Subs (circa 90s), or even a hybrid of a Rolex Sub and a Black Bay.  But I think that what those comments do not take into account is the various different little aspects of them.  Note the RED 20 on the bezel above, for example.

Hager continues to make some really cool watches at very accessible price points.  And the Aquamariner continues that winning streak.  Ollech & Wajs seems to have petered out, so thankfully there is still Hager to offer the consumer something desirable at a competitive price point.

This was originally available in three flavors - Black, Blue, and Red (bezel), but the blue has sold out, and the black and the red appear to only have a handful left.  And having spent some time watching the interactions at a recent collectors event in Virginia, I can tell you that these watches were desired, appreciated, purchased and are certainly being worn.
