Omega Seamaster AT 8500 PGA

Recently replaced my Rolex 39mm Explorer 1, reference 214270, with an Omega 41.5mm Seamaster Aqua Terra 8500 PGA GOLF edition.
This watch is a perfect fit and one of the most comfortable watches I own for everyday wear.
The current Omega magazine has some great articles about this watch and wearing it while playing golf.

Looks great! I'm hoping to add an AT at some point. Probably the blue dial. The green looks great though.

Congrats on a beautiful watch. If you want to try something unique, here's mine on a brown croc with green stitching. Btw, I ended up with one of your Rolexes way out here in CA - small world!

I still say the AT is the best looking watch in modern watchmaking.

Thanks for the kind compliment Sohail. The 372 I acquired from you is doing quite well also!
