Seriously man, I doubt that you got any kind of genuine TAG for $225, but if they do have a LOW end model (that I am not aware of) that is around that price, you get what you pay for. Why would you buy a dive watch that is the LOWEST model that a particular brand sells, and then complain about it? You get what you pay for. That is like someone saying that since Honda makes that NSX, a Civic DX (although much less expensive model) should be of the same quality level. Sure, Honda makes the DX, and some level of quality assurance is there, but the bottom line is that it is the cheapest model they make, it is not an NSX. The same is true with any retail good.
