Wrist shots of Omega aqua terra skyfall please

Hiya
Loving this ref,,Seamaster Aqua Terra Skyfall
Any wrist shots of full size and mid-size please Trfers,,
Is a half link imperative for a great fit?
What makes a full set for the Skyfall apart from strap and loupe?
Does the blue dial pop in the sunlight,,,
Thanks for reading,,,,,

I believe my watch may be like the watch used in that film (first generation of the cal. 8500 watches, with all-satin finish on the bracelet, and framed date display). Not sure whether Bond wore a 38.5mm or a 41.5mm watch, but mine is the larger case.

The blue dial is low-key indoors, and then, to your point, it totally pops in bright sunlight.

This watch was a gift from my lovely wife in 2015, and I enjoy it a lot. I guess I haven't photographed it much, but here are a few shots.

Is this the Omega model you're thinking of?

I think one of these will be my next addition. It’s a battle between this or another GS.

It's one I enjoy off and on. Much better in my eyes than the new horizontal streaks along with 6' o clock date.
