    I never thought I'd have a one watch collection until I met the Aqua Terra. I've since sold all my other watches and the Aqua Terra Golf (black dial, green seconds hand) on black rubber has graced my wrist every day since. Classy enough for work, sporty enough for the beach, the perfect "go anywhere, do anything" watch. I definitely prefer the symmetry of the date at 6, and the quick hour setting is so convenient for travel. And may I just say the way the light twinkles off the dagger indices is just magical..

      Of course, that's due to the fact that Omega doesn't play the artificial shortage game that Rolex does. Omega will make as many of its standard models as it can sell.

      I have a 1st generation aqua terra and I am looking to upgrade, but to a constellation. So I went to the omega boutique to check out the constellation and I was disappointed. So I naturally went to the aqua terras to check out the ones with white and black dials. They were beautiful, but the salesperson told me "check this one out.." so she handed me the blue dial on rubber one. It was absolutely beautiful, and probably my next omega.

    I have the 41mm version and absolutely love it. Most of the rest of my collection gets a day or two of wear, this is on my wrist most of the time. I switch between bracelet and the Omega five stripe grey and black nato. The switch instantly changes the whole vibe of the watch, elegant and conservative, with a touch of flash to rugged tool for a purpose. I spend time in some rough parts of the world and it’s on the nato then as it’s not so obvious.

The extreme amount of thread locker meant that I damaged a few screws as well and this was AFTER trying things like a hair dryer and immersing the links in just-boiled water for a period.

They said even they were struggling to re size it

    I have an older grey teak 41mm AT with the date window at 3 o clock, with the window frame and it's one of my favorite watches. It keeps very accurate time and goes with just about everything I wear. It can be both dressy and sporty. As you had pointed out, for those wanting just one watch, the AT is a very good candidate. That said, I wished Omega would come up with a 40mm version of this watch. The 41mm wears quite large for my 7.5" wrist, while the 38mm is a tad small. I have owned both versions and kept the 41mm which I wear on leather strap.

    Being the happy owner of an AT worldtimer, I can state that the bracelet is indeed the weak point of that series although I personally didn't have any problems with resizing. The problem would be more the lack of micro-adjustement and those flashy polished center links.
    A non-issue in my case because I wear it on the factory rubber or on leather.
    Beside that I have to say it has been a fantastic watch, maybe the most versatile timepiece you can own at any price. Classy, sporty, casual, precise, robust, I cannot think of any watch packing so many features, it actually IS the perfect "one watch" collection in my view.
