Good morning fellas! I'm looking at this Omega Aqua Terra, and this is my very first time buying watch so I don't have any knowledge about AT but find em very gorgeous and want to own one of them. I'm attaching the photos below from his post. I would very much appreciate any thoughts and advices on authenticating the piece. Thanks in advance!

You have definitely found the right community, but ensure you also do plenty of your own research before pulling the trigger. On anything! What stands out to you as perhaps being suspect on this watch?

The photos aren't the best, and there isn't a dead on shot of the caseback/movement, but it looks legit to me. There are others here who may provide more critical assessment. Assuming there is a warranty card provided, did you check the warranty card against the watches serial number? From Omega's website:

Authentic OMEGA timepieces are supplied with a warranty card, duly completed with an 8-digit numeric or a 7-digit alphanumeric serial number, the watch reference, the purchase date and the retailer's full name and address.

Here's a listing of a similar watch for sale in Vancouver, BC.

How much is the seller asking?

I have the teak dial - mine is an 8900 movement (AT 41) from 2023.

Hey thank you for your thoughts, it doesn't let me to add pictures of the back so I'm posting them here. And, the watch come with box only, no cards and he said that he bought from a reputable dealer so my guess is as good as his. Since I don't have knowledge of the Aqua Terra and never see them in real life, its hard to say what I suspect but the price point is quite good at 4200 with all links, and he's willing to come down if i negotiate since it's been posted for a while. It seems that he's a watch enthusiast that collects watches, he doesn't really resell watch for a living, and he's been really active on Reddit for commenting and discussing about watches for years. that's what makes me trust him for now. By the way, the watch is posted in r/watchexchange on reddit
