    Probably this would not be a very relevant topic, but... I had to say it. And this forum's users may surely understand me.
    I am in full love with this beauty and its stunning blue dial:

    http://www.omegawatches.com/collection/seamaster/aqua-terra-150-m/co-axial-385-mm/23110392103001

    Seamaster Aqua Terra 150 M Omega Co-Axial 38.5 mm

    Like all the first-time lovers, I spent many hours on Google image looking for its different versions - steel bracelets, leather straps - and I really can't find a more perfect watch. I also know that there are more recent versions. Since it seems a costly watch, I'd like to have your opinion: the 150 M with blue hour dial is still available? If so, how much would it cost? I read that the Co-axial movement maintenance is quite costly, about 500 Euro every five years.

    Thank you for your invaluable assistance, it's just a dream - I already bought a Speedmaster Professional this year and restore a heired Cosmic, therefore I simply have no funds for a new watch, but maybe in the near future...


    Kind regards,

    Marco

    A few of us own those Skyfall AT's and really dig them. $5500 / €4012 was the list price earlier in the year, but it might have gone up recently.

    As with all servicing, and independent watchmaker will charge you less than Omega. Just make sure your watchmaker is certified to work on the co-axial calibers.

    Kringkily, one of our trusted sellers, has one on sale for USD3900.

    I have the 38.5mm grey AT8500 and damn was I tempted to ditch that for the Skyfall AT when it first came out! They're lovely.

    I love it too but am strongly considering the 41mm version instead.

    But as far as I know its dial is not blue. Or am I wrong?

    There are 14 versions available in the 41.5mm AT 150m model and blue dial is one of them.

    I've tried it on at the boutique and it's fantastic. The extra diameter balances out the thickness of the case better than the 38.5mm IMHO.

    Also, something to note is that next year, all these will come with polished center links on the bracelets.

    Roger, did the boutique have the blue dial AT Day/Date yet?

    They had a Day/Date in the case, but not the blue dial version. IIRC, it was a black dial. I didn't try it on because it had the PCLs and I felt it was kind of copying the Rolex idea.

    The maintenance is about eight to ten years because of the Si14, co-axial, and 8500 movement. it's quality 100%

    I have an 8500 "Skyfall" blue Aqua Terra in 38.5mm and I absolutely love it. It looks even more amazing in person than any photo can capture, so I encourage you to try it on. If you have a smaller wrist like I do, the 38.5mm size will be perfect. You'd have to have a fairly large wrist to make the upsized version work as elegantly as the 38.5mm does. It's probably the most versatile watch I've ever owned, and it can be worn with almost anything. Elegant and refined but understated in design, it also packs one of the premier movements in watchmaking today. Get one!

    Anyone experimented with putting the skyfall onto a brown leather band? I'm curious to see pictures as I think it would look fantastic.

    I have the anti magnetic and I love it. But the Skyfall is different a beauty as well.

    Me too. Next year, perhaps, I'll visit some Omega stores here in Milan or in Biella, my hometown, and will see.

    I went to an AD yesterday to compare the 42mm PO against the 45.5mm. While I was there I had a look at their AT, it's a very nice watch but it looked a little large on the wrist for a dress watch.

    I thought buting ting a car was easier. I am in that dilemma too. I am a big well too big at the moment person. i don't know whinch one 42 or 45.5 I actually like the 44.25 speedmaster co axial but I have the 42mm moonwatch. But I just love it. the other I have is the anti magnetic aqua terra. I added a link and now it is great. Any advise would be great. I want a bullet proof watch that will last. Kind of my holy grail one but I have no idea what to do.

    Really classy looking watch, but too rich for my blood
