Aqua Terra 8900 41mm...wow

Just picked up this beauty today. This thing is a seriously nice alternative to the DJ41, especially at its price point.

It's a beauty. I was rooting for this in blue dial, but in the end settled for the new SMP as I'm a big SMP fan.

Worth every penny you pay for it.
Enjoy it.

As a die hard rolex fan dare I say this watch look better than DJ for the money.

Very cool watch and comparing it to the DJ it comes out ahead to me. That would be adding in the price. In the pre-owned market you can get this watch for not much but it wears like a lot.

Thanks, guys. Can’t get over the compelling value this watch offers. Here’s another shameless, gratuitous shot from today.

Good call; great everyday watch. I bought a silver dial when they were introduced in 2017 and have never regretted it. Easy to read, great movement, excellent value for dollar. With a couple of bracelets/straps, you can have multiple looks.

Nice score. I've got a serious hankerin' for one of those in the two tone gold color with the champagne striped dial.

Congratulations. It's a great looking watch and I would take it over a Datejust.

Very nice! I’m a huge fan of Omega, especially with the games Rolex is playing.

There's a whole lot more detail going on with the AT 150 dial than meets the eye from a photo. They are great pieces!

After having purchased three different omegas over the past few years at the local boutique, I decided to take a chance with jomashop on this one (the first time I’ve used them). US$3595.

I've heard good things about jomashop -- how was speed of delivery?

Order placed 12 noon Pacific on January 22. Shipping notice received via email later that same day at 530pm Pacific. I paid for overnight shipping ($25). Delivery occurred next day at 11am Pacific on January 23.

EDIT: I have heard of several instances where their website will say they have an item in stock, but in reality they don't, so shipment gets delayed. That wasn't my experience with this particular order, but something to be aware of.
