    My Seamaster has arrived from eLady and, per @padders asking me in another thread ( https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-seamaster-120-m-2511-81-00-help-with-band.70035/ ) to comment on how the watch looked, etc, I'll post a ton of photos below.

    First, the eLady pics. Second, a couple showing how it was packed and delivered. Third, some pics in the sunshine.

    Bottom line - it looks really good. Almost like a new watch. Really good stuff. Absolutely in love with it.

    What a great model this was. The Aqua Terra is fantastic but, bang for buck, I reckon the 120 M is amazing.

    If only the band fit right away! I'll be getting that seen to later in the week :)

    Thanks for posting that. It is good to hear that there wasn't something seriously awry with eLady at present. The other guy was maybe unlucky with how the photos masked the bezel damage.

    Cheers everyone! And yes, @padders , it would seem he just got unlucky with the images.

    Everything I've ever seen written about them suggests a pretty straight operation.

    Great watch! My father has the white version with sword hands. Just got back from servicing last month and looks brand new.

    Cheers @77deluxe I am really enjoying it. Like many people say, it's a dress-sports version of the Bond 300m.

    And being a dress watch, with no numbers on the bezel, etc, I think the smaller size is just right for it.

    That is one cool watch! Had I been into Omega fifteen years ago the way I am today, I would have bought one of those for sure. I have two first-generation Aqua Terra's in my collection. After looking at your pictures, I can see that the 120 M was the Aqua Terra of the Seamaster line before there ever was was an Aqua Terra.

    Just so! The 120 M has a long lineage going back decades and the Aqua Terra is the spiritual successor to that.

    The AT is a tiny bit bigger, has an extra 30m of depth rating... but is essentially filling that same role in today's range.

    Cheers @johncola36 - I'm really happy with it. Perfect for the office and doesn't look crazy out of place in shorts on the weekend.
