Re: New Aqua Terra models
In Response To: Re: New Aqua Terra models *PIC* ()

: I chose to buy a 2503.50 last week.

Congrats on your purchase! I get what you mean about going for the 'ground-up' co-axial calibre but the co-axial ETA ebauch movement is still a thing of beauty. If you want state-of-the-art timekeeping, get a caesium fountain clock, not a mechanical timepiece! I agonised over the 2503 or -04. In the end I went for the 36mm because I don't have particularly big wrists and the 39mm looked a little oversized on me (and my 1991 Longines Conquest is only 31mm so I'm used to a small watch). Having said that, I think the 39mm dial looks marginally less 'crowded' than the 36.

You think you love it now; just wait a few months until you've seen it in the full range of light (and dark - the black dial is B-L-A-C-K). You won't be able to stop looking at it. You'll always know the time and your only excuse for being late will be, "I couldn't stop looking at my watch!"
