My Latest Arrival--Skyfall 41.5mm

This is my first new watch in over 2 years and man am I happy. I had been having a hard time making a decision between the Skyfall AT and the DJII. With the excellent guidance from mattcantwin, I decided upon the Skyfall AT 41.5 mm. The blue dial is amazing as it changes from one shade to another, depending on the lighting. Here are a couple of pics:




And here is a pic with the family. I think it fits in well.


Thanks for looking.

I still say the AT is the best looking watch in modern watchmaking. Well-found!

Len, watches tend to look bigger in pictures...


but the 41.5 Skyfall looks perfect on your wrist!



Hopefully, you'll soon agree with everyone who says it's the right size.



Great trio of watches, congratulations!

Between a Datejust 2 and the Skyfall, I would have picked the Skyfall also.

Nice watch.

At first I was not sure that I choose the right size for my wrist, but the more I wear it, the more I feel it looks just right.

Thanks for all the nice wishes.

I agree with you Joe, the AT is one of the best looking Omegas made. I might be a little biased though.

It was a hard decision, but the Skyfall won out.
