Finally got it! ...Omega Aqua Terra [pics]

[cman]

I have managed to end a long search for a watch that fits my small wrists AND looks good :lol:
Thanks to everyone's help, suggestions and tips.

- I eventually ruled the Longines out for being too dressy: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=63348
- Thought I finally found the one but when I tried on the Oris it was either too big or too small! viewtopic.php?f=1&t=87733
- Considered the Sinn 556 but had doubts over its size!
- Looked at the 36.2mm Omega Aqua Terra: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=86756

...and I settled on the Omega Aqua Terra, ref# 2504.80.00 and took delivery of it this morning. 8)

As there aren't many Aqua Terra pics on this forum, I thought I'd add a few [apologies in advance for photography skills, they're not quite as good as most on here!]:
























Regards,

Congratulations :-)

Nice watch, ain't it? I've got the 41.something mm version and love it ;-)
Great profile imho, bit of an UFO.

Very 8) indeed. Photos are pretty good, and they will get better, takes practice. And to be honest, could spend hours photographing such a gorgeous piece.

Have always like the Aqua Terra, and it is on the list to be added one day. Just love the classic styling and the simplicity of the dial. Unfortunatley the budget doesn't stretch to the new one with the coaxial movement, so will have to go for an older one when the funds are eventually there. :)

Nice!
I'm still waiting on mine (blue hands, 2500 movement), which is apparently another 2 weeks away :cry: . I tried the newer version in an Omega boutique, and while I think I preferred the new-style bracelet, it certainly didn't seem worth the price hike.

[Argon]

A fine choice. I'm wearing my black-faced 2500 calibre model today - bought it in Andorra a few weeks ago, and absolutely loving it. They are devils to photograph - you've done well.

The AT's are beautiful watches 8)

Hearty congratulations.

TBH I'm still drawn to the gold 231.53 on a strap, but what a price!

[sunster]

Beautiful watch...congratulations

[TallTony]

Any chance of a wrist shot? I have very narrow wrists too and have been struggling to find something I like.

Beautiful watch btw

[Dave E]

Very nice. I've got a white dial/blue hands AT and they are just so classy looking.

[warns74]

It's a beauty, classic and timeless (no pun intended).

[Chukas]

Classy looking watch. :)
That last photo is 8)

[Fast-Time]

Very nice! :wink:

Very nice watch, thought about one recently, but I'm not classy enough to pull it off.

[cman]

Thank you for the comments ladies and gents 8) - really happy with the choice and purchase.

[don segundo]

congrats! The AT is really nice, especially the blue dial has caught my eye. And looking at this just makes me want one even more :D

[boddah]

Got one of those myself, congrats 8)

[walkerwek1958]

Hope I don`t regret selling this one, not an easy decision.

I`m still lusting after the rose gold/steel version....maybe I`ll get one soon!

Very smart

[mcdill]

Sweet. The blue dial is hard to find, good work!

Kind regards

[Snipe]

Very nice! I'm (still) hankering after the white dial/blue hands version.

[cman]

Thanks again :) Really think I made the right choice after much deliberation.

I've noticed the watch can be heard when held up to your ear, a ticking sound. Whilst I recognise they are mechanical pieces, II didn't realise they were this audible, I presume this is the norm..?

[Argon]

Totally normal. I've become something of a tick connoisseur myself - one or two of my Russians sound like miniature water pumps :)

Thank you for confirming - with this being my first automatic, I have no basis for comparison.
