Everyone I know thinks it's too large. The traditional sizes are way better.

The bracelet on that AT looks like an aftermarket Seiko bracelet.
It IS after market bracelet, not even Seiko. It's not perfectly fit and I placed it only to have all 3 watches on metal band for I reckoned better comparison.

I have ordered original OMEGA bracelet dedicated for Aqua Terra, will post some pics when installed.

Everyone you know thinks the DJ41 is too large, so that means no one likes it. Got it 👍

Too bad opinions like this make their way to such public forums! Clearly meant to goad and provoke Rolex lovers. Have you ever noticed how Rolex lovers rarely (if ever) go on line to tout Rolex as superior to Omega? Simply not necessary! This comes from confidence in the brand, and the absence of the need to stroke ones ego! A wasted thread. Too bad!

I have to say, I do think Rolex is way overpriced and overhyped right now but the DJ is a classic and anyone saying its trash is just lying to themselves. The other two are nice but not in the same league. Fluted bezel with the jubilee on a DJ... gorgeous!

My two favorite waches in my modest collection are the Sub 14060M 2 liner and the AT 38mm blue dial, in that order. That is, over my 36mm DJ tritium dial fluted bezel on the jubilee. Yes, the AT tops it by the slimmest of margins though the polished bezel is a scratch magnet.

Datejust is better, especially with the fluted bezel, but unfortunately screams middle aged to me. I'll wait another 25 years.

On omegas - not a fan of the date being at the 6 position personally.

Maybe might be an idea to ante up a deposit and order one! With luck, it will be here by the time you turn 50. 😉

I traded my 4 digit DJ for my Aqua Terra. I do miss my Rolex but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted.

I do plan to get another DJ when I find a two tone jubilee with a blue face, but the wife gets her gold 26mm DJ first..

until then I just have to suffer…





What kind of band is that on the AT? Really cool looking.

For the record no one likes the DJ41.
I love he DJ 41. I have it on white and blue. Love it.

I do not like the fluted bezel on the 41 though. to me fluted bezels are better suited to smaller dials. On the DJ 41 it looks a little like a car wheel.

Sadly...I am middle aged. Fortunately, now I can wear it in good health!!!!
