My first Omega / Aqua Terra 2502.50
Well I am happy to say I have joined the Omega club! I was at my local AD yesterday and he had this little beauty brand new in the safe. I couldn't resist the black dial, exhibition case back and clean classic style.

Is it me or something else?
Hi TRF,Whilst wandering around the Tourneau today, I really was struck by just how incredible all Rolex watches are. The PM Daytonas, DDs, DJs, Smurfs, etc.--which tells you what they had--looked fantastic. Its not just that the Rolex watches look great under bright lights. All brand watches do. They're supposed to. The IWC's, Tudor, etc., also looked great. However, the Rolex watches just looked a cut above. Maybe its me and my desire to own a 16610LV, Sky Dweller, and perhaps even a GMT 1675, which is skewing my vision. I acknowledge my own bias. However, objectively, Rolex does seem seem to have some x factor quality that simply makes them stand out on an individual watch-to-watch basis.What do you think?Best,TA
