After pondering for quite a while on whether to move into a sport Rolex model as a single piece versus having a one-two punch, I ultimately decided to hang onto my CM24 and replace my Navi with something more versatile.

Enter the Omega Aqua Terra.... I had been looking at the 41mm since that is closer to what I consider my optimal size, but after seeing the 38.5mm at an AD it is actually quite substantial and not small at all.

Well after my trip to the AD, I ended up putting a deposit down on the used blue dial "Skyfall" model that I found on another forum. The watch was only purchased two months ago, so the bulk of the warranty is remaining, and I feel like a I got a hell of a deal. Even the seller referred to the watch as his Porsche with 1000 miles, so needless to say I am pumped, and just in time for summer.

Even though I'm a little biased, I think it's a great choice. Enjoy it, mine's my favorite watch.

Nice piece - shame that there had to be outgoing as well, but it's a great classic watch.

Thanks guys! I am quite certain this will remain on the wrist for a while! Although it is a shame about having to part ways with the Navi, I already plan to move into a Navi 01 next with my next purchase.

Fantastic watch! I too am looking at an Aqua Terra. I am looking at at 41.5 with white/cream face on a brown strap. Congrats on a great purchase!
