Wich Dive watch should i go for? I know the TAG Heuer 2013 Aquaracer 500m Ceramic Calibre 16

Feel good diving with this Classical watch, look good underwater watching the time, this is a stylish diving watch that will make you feel like a million bucks, is this most divers favorite watch ? i would hope so, with the looks of it, the question is who would not love a dive watch like this? how much would i pay for a dive watch you may ask, well if you are a regular diver, you would know diving is not that cheap, so if you can afford to scuba dive, you most probably can afford a watch like this, and you can pass it on for a few generations, because of the quality parts its made off

Here is a article and specs for the  TAG Heuer 2013 Aquaracer 500m Ceramic Calibre 16 : Source

The final piece of the 2013 Aquaracer range has now fallen into place with these photos of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500m Calibre 16 (Ref. CAK2110). Like the Calibre 5 watch and the Calibre 72 Countdown Chronograph, the new Calibre 16 model features a re-designed case (the same as the Cal. 72 Chrono.), a helium-escape valve, re-designed dial and a ceramic bezel.

The Calibre 16 Aquaracer 500m carries over the design principles set by the other watches in the 2013 Aquaracer range- a more elegant and classical diver watch, but one that is closer to the Aquaracer 300m models than was previously the case.
You can also see in these photos the combination of highly polished, scalloped sides and the brushed finish used on the lugs. This detailing is carried over to the grips on the bezel, which are also polished to a high shine.

One of the best design features of the new model is the contrast between the horizontal streaks on the dial and the circular pattern on each of the three sub-dials- it makes the three registers stand out from the rest of the dial, giving them a three-dimensional quality.
The hands are carried over from the current Aquaracer 500m Chronograph, as is the large-arrow tip on the 9 o’clock register.
Like the Calibre 72 model, the new Calibre 16 ceramic Chronograph is available with either a bracelet or the fantastic Isofrane-inspired rubber strap.

The changes from the 2010 model (left) are quite stark and obvious when the two watches are placed next to each other:

    Redesigned case- softer design consistent with the original Heuer 2000 and the Aquaracer 300m
    43mm (new) vs. 44mm diameter
    Ceramic bezel vs. Hard rubber bezel
    No cyclops
    Smaller TAG Heuer logo; printed “Aquaracer” text
    Larger 9 o’clock sub-dial
    Rubber- ringed crown and Chronograph pushers
    Horizontal vs. vertical streaks on the dial
    Smaller helium-escape valve
