aqua terra

[WS9D]

Back story:

So back in 2013-14ish I bought an Omega Aqua terra grey dial. My first "luxury" piece. I liked it enough but it was a "settle for" piece as I really wanted the blue dial and the AD didn't have any. At the time, I was a noob, knew nothing of the grey market, or other dealers. Needless to say, I ended up flipping it into a bluesy which was later sold due to divorce.

Present day question:

Fast forward to today, I know so much about the game now i'm sure my ex-wife vomits anytime she sees a nice watch lol. I really did enjoy that aqua terra. I found a blue dial master coaxial version of it, and I may pull the trigger. I've been out of the omega game for a while as i turned into a total rolex fan boy and then started exploring other brands, but it has come full circle back to omega. I had a speedy at one time, but found I am a date guy. Sorry for being long winded (TRF is way cheaper than a shrink who wouldn't understand watches anyways). I see back in 19 they updated the dial from vertical teak lines to horizontal lines and moved the date to the 6 position.

I was curious if anyone has any experience with either or both versions, thoughts them, like the change hate the change, etc. Yes I know it's whatever I like better. I'm fond of both. Just curious on some real world experience or thoughts/opinions on the two.
