Re: Aqua Terra
In Response To: Aqua Terra ()

Hey Omega, don't worry about the time gain or loss of the watch. Like some of the others have said, it needs some time to settle into its proper running rate.
Regarding the size of your wrist, I also have a 6 and-a-half inch wrist and I wear a Bond SMP which measures approx 40mm (39.3 for you sticklers out there) and I think it looks just fine. My next watch will be the 35mm AquaTerra only because I have a couple of watches that are over the 38mm mark and I want a watch that will give the Rolex DateJust (36mm) a run for its money. Also, I want to be the kind of watch collector who has a fairly varied watch collection.
I work in a watch store. On the very quiet days, the manager and I try on a few watches to kill time. I must admit that the 38mm AT looks real nice on my wrist. The 38mm size suits most people and is pretty much the best-selling size for this watch.
When all is said and done, don't let anybody tell you that the watch looks too big or that it doesn't suit your wrist. They didn't pay for it and they don't have to wear it.
As long as you like how it looks, that's all that matters...oh yeah, and wear it with attitude. That way, nobody will mess with you then.

P.S.- Congrats, Omega. You're really gonna like wearing this watch.
