I have the same watch arriving soon - should be here on Friday. Really happy to see the shot next to your Sub, as they look to be pretty close in size.

Not a Skyfall AT. But "big bro"...AT GMT says hello. I've had it for two weeks now. Took awhile to get use to 43mm. But I'm use to it now. Cheers!

My AT Skyfall has arrived. I'll try to post up some pics over the weekend. What a gorgeous watch. Has to be one of the best looking timepieces that Omega has ever produced.

I really like those watches, the only thing that holds me back is the lack of the arrowhead on the hour hand. It looks like it just doesnt belong and broke off or something. I just cant get past it.

They are lovely though, enjoy it.

Snapped a quick pic. Love the watch, but man I hate sizing Omega bracelets!

Color me impressed, but my skyfall has been running +1 sec/day since I got it. No matter if I'm wearing it or storing it in my 'man caddy'.

Just curious as to why you leaned AT vs the DJ2? Considering one or the other for my next purchase, so any insight is appreciated. Both are beautiful pieces.

IMO, the AT is just better executed overall. I'm not taking anything away from the DJII, because it is a great watch, but I agree with many others that it appears bloated compared to the 36mm version. I think a 38-39mm version would have looked a lot better. The older DJ had an elegant appearance that is somehow lost on the DJII.

The fact that I paid half as much, got what is arguably a 'better' movement with equal build quality, with a superior overall appearance was icing in the cake.

Now that I've had this watch for a while, I can say it's the most comfortable of all I own (which is only a few watches). The "Skyfall" AT is really a beautiful watch. I can see why it's hard to source.
