New Aqua terra...

For the last few years I've always had an Omega of one type or another in my collection....
Great white
Seamaster GMT
45 PO (black)
42 PO (orange)
Speedy date
Seamaster co ax
Seamaster bond...

Up until a few weeks back, when on the spur of the moment a mate wanted to buy my orange PO.... And I thought yep why not so sold it to him...

Although I haven't really missed the PO.... I have missed not having an omega...
So ordered this today..... 41mm grey dial with the 8500...

I like that model as well. I've tried on both sizes, and many different dial colors. I usually stay away from gray, but I like the one you chose...

enjoy it...

Well the grey arrived and was damaged..so it went back.... In the meantime I'd seen the black/green in the flesh, and actually preferred it.... So I swapped the order for this one





The trouble is... That on visiting the AD... I was so taken with the "skyfall" blue in the smaller 38.5mm case size..... I ordered one of those as well hasn't arrived yet but I'll do a side by side when it does
