Superb, Col.
Grey dial, brown strap, is a great looking combo
Great pic and lovely watch - well smart and just that little bit different.

I finally feel like a proper member of the forum! Go easy on me
Nothing wrong with that one!
I've always had a mild hankering after those Seiko solar chronos. My favourite is the one with yellow accents. They seem a steal at the price creation charge for them.
I'm sure he'll be turning up again in future Bond movies!!
Recent purchase from SC. Wears a bit bigger than the 39mm might suggest but it's actually really growing on me over the last 2 days.

This is new to me.
It very nearly didn't happen, as the package was incomplete.
But now I am happy to say, that everything is "A" ok :)
It still has it stickers on, as tomorrow I am going to try and put it on a Rubber B.

love the non date bubble look so clean looking compared to the subs
Currently waiting for the postman who will be delivering a PRS-68 this morning, also have an Oris incoming this week, pictures to follow!
how does it wear bigger?? My watches range from 37 to 47mm and they 'wear' what they are?? All this 'wears bigger' malarkey is total rubbish or an excuse for having wimpish wrists imho.Recent purchase from SC.

Welcome to the forum my friend. You seem to be a friendly and non-confrontational chap. Perhaps some use the term 'wears bigger' to compensate for wimpish wrists and an inability to pull off a 47mm watch as well as you seem to be able. However most will realise the term is used to describe perception. I see you actually know this judging by your post #1052.
Although it's funny you should mention it as I do happen to have "wimpish" wrists but am very comfortable with them. To compensate I simply try to wear watches that fit my wrist. Some are smaller than 39mm some a few mm bigger.
The Aqua terra does indeed 'wear bigger' than other watches I have with similar case dimensions. Remember I'm not suggesting that the watch actually increases in size upon placing on the wrist. I'm simply referring to perception.
I do hope that clears up any confusion. Of course all this is IMHO.

Lovely......
Yes, that cleared up the confusion 100%, my friend....sorry for my brusqueness but I do get a bit fed up with reading 'it wears big' written by someone with thin wrists, you're perception is never someone else's, touche
Agreed, they do wear bigger than the dimensions suggest. Probably due to the slim bezel and 'all dial' design. A 38mm Nomos Orion, with a similar 'all dial' design wears significantly larger than a 40mm SubC, for example. The wider bezel of the later reduces the overall case size.
I personally feel that something closer to a Datejust's 36mm case size would work best in this style of Omega.
A diver v a bauhaus....ones got a sub 30mm dial the other plus 30mm 'full case' dial, they don't wear bigger in case size.....its perception
Well done. That's the point :-)
