·I would avoid 8500 movement, due to jumping hours issue.
For what it's worth, I have 5 Omegas with the jumping hour "time zone" feature. None have given me the date wheel issue.
Aqua Terra - better to buy new or slightly used?

·I seem to remember to have read somewhere that the early 8500's hour wheel had a premature wear so it needed to be swapped in service, and that later they modified the wheel and fixed it.

·Is this something you have experienced personally? because this is a no issue, 8500 movement is solid.

·Considering the same. Very difficult decision and hard to view the older ones in person.

·My first post here.
I have never had any problem with my Aqua Terra cal8500 for six year, works smoothly.
A nice watch to wear, feels nice on the wrist, 41,5mm.
It`s harder to find a nice brown leather strap for it 😀

·Do scratches bother you? I couldn’t get rid of my AT fast enough. The bezel was a scratch magnet in spite of babying it. I realize scratches are part of ownership, but I was super gentle and still got hairlines.
Drove me nuts.

·Slightly used for me. Can get it heavily discounted and I hate scratching up a new watch, so ideal if it’s already used

·I wouldn't mind paying full price for some watches, but the aqua terra is not one of them. You should be able to get a 20% discount on them.

·IMO buy a new one but at a 15-20% discount. This forum's for sale section has several.

·I will always buy Omega watches preowned because the price is better and an Omega watch which have been taken care and with service will run like a new one..
