    [​IMG] [​IMG] Hi all. New to the Forum. I recently had a Blue, Aqua Terra 8500 Master Coaxial in my hand at the Omega dealer.. The discount was very small 5%. I may go GM for it; I do like it very much.. On the other hand I found a jeweler on Long Island through Chrono 24 that has a pre owned "007" limited Aqua Terra.. Part of the reason I like this is the association with Bond. Plus I think Aqua Terra is the perfect all around watch. I'm looking for a opinion on which one to get. I plan on wearing it almost daily btw...
    Thanks all..
    John.

    It's a real personal preference thing. They are both great watches, full-stop. Personally, I would never get a watch with the 007 logo on it.

    I adore Bond movies, but I'd rather pay homage to them via a watch Bond wore and he doesn't have a 007 logo on his watch :)

    Get the non LE. It’s a bond watch too (film worn in spectre). No obnoxious 007 branding either.

    Me too. I love the 007 movies. I always wanted a PPK. I got one for the 50th anniversary of Bond and wouldn't have wanted 007 all over it unless it would be in a display case as commemorative; Thanks for the advice. My choice is becoming much easier.

    Thanks. I am now leaning toward non LE. The one ill most likely buy is a little scarce.. I went to 2 AD's and tried the 41.5 mm. Both give little discount, so ill most likely try the GM for this piece.. have a good one.

    No problem. And I stress that they are both great watches in general. The 120 M I recently bought (see it in another thread), is what was in the Omega line before the Aqua Terra, so I really appreciate that sort of dress sports watch in general. It's only the logo that kills it for me, personally.

    Yea.. I didn't like certain seamaster's because the 007 logo was overdone.. I've decided on the 8500 non Le...I'm going GM and was told I could purchase an omega warranty card for a few hundo on top... I've done as much research and AD visiting I can do on it.. It will be my 1st Omega.. Second Higher end Watch... Thanks for the input.. I'll look for the photo and thread of your 120 M....

    I bought the 007 Aqua Terra watch as my very first Omega, have always wanted this brand of watch as and when i could afford one and as much as I'm a fan of the Bond movies, i didn't buy it for that reason.
    In the flesh it is a gorgeous looking watch and the detail of the dial with the coat of arms, the open back showing the movement, the quality of both bracelets is what attracted me to the watch because it was just so different to anything else in that price bracket at the time i was looking.
    I have since added other watches to my collection both Omega and non Omega and i still find myself wearing the AT more than anything else.

    My brother has the Bond version and it’s absolutely gorgeous. The dial and seconds are super unique.

    Hope you enjoy your new purchase. Great look!

    Strap is fantastic. Ridged on the underside, which helps it breath. Here's another shot...
