Guys, I've been thinking on purchasing the AT 41mm with the blue dial ref 220.10.41.21.03.004

I can't seem to find anyone that defends the price of this watch, I truly fell in love with it because of the dial and how it looks on the wrist but I'd like some input from some of the watch experts in this forum, if they're worth the money, any mechanical problems persist with them or something like that.

Thanks guys

I think it's a great watch with a great movement. I was contemplating getting the black dial before i got the SMP. I think it has a logical price.

It’s a great watch. I had the white face/orange hand version with dark gray rubber strap. But I bought mine before the price hike. Either way, it’s fantastic and very versatile.

I think it's a great watch. I've had both the white face/orange hand version and the slate blue/blue hand version. I ended up going a different way and they've both found new homes over the past couple years. However, it's a great watch and the movement is amazing.

Not sure what you mean by "defends the price", but I am happy with mine.

It's one of the best sports watches you can buy and looks good in every situation, I'm hoping to see the new green dial version at a local event next week.
As for the price, with a 15% discount there is nothing to touch it.

When I said "Defend the price" I meant that if it's worth the money

I think it's time for me to order a bracelet...

Here's my ref 22012412106001 on the rubber deployant strap:

It’s a handsome, versatile watch and the caliber 8900 is one of Omega’s best. The only feature that would give me pause is the high polish stainless steel bezel - that’s going to be a magnet for scratches.

You are not wrong.

It is possible to apply a brushed finish to the whole bracelet.

I don’t know, I’m hard on my watches, and my Aqua Terra 8800 is full of scratches - but you don’t see them the way you do on a blunt, straight Rolex case for example. The gentle curves and alternating surfaces seem to repel noticeable damage very well.

Funny, 'cause I am going to order the rubber deployant as well. Aesthetically, it will be like having two different watches. I do like the bracelet/steel dial/blued hands combo, it gives it a "luxury steel sport" vibe. But I also like the rubber strap for when you want to tone it down.

True and the first few hurt, but after a while the scratches give a watch character and tell a story.

It's a great watch with a great movement, looks terrific on rubber and a bracelet, and very much worth the price, even more so if you get an AD discount.

I had the older 38mm one with the blue dial and it’s absolutely amazing. The blue is super vibrant and looks amazing when the sun reflects off it. I bought mine preowned so I got a really good deal on it. If you don’t mind I would suggest you buy one preowned (preowned mint condition) and save a large bit of money.

Have to say, I tried on a green today and it didn’t blow wind up my skirt. It’s a khaki green and not at all attractive in my book, but each to their own I guess. Rolex does green a lot better.....

Thanks for the photos, hopefully I will get to see that and others on Thursday.
I have to agree that if you are in the market for a good looking casual\sports watch Rolex has the edge over Omega for now.
