Thank u for the important information.
Omega put the steel on their website on E8800.
Holland, Austria, France etc the Euro countries.
The inflation at this moment is increasing, so the price would go up.
If there is a new quartz crisis coming? I hope not, first for the survival of the watch brands.
Yesterday i peak at Rolex market prices, and it is a strange situation. Steel Subs cost like they made of white gold.
Regret i forget to buy a Sub, but i do not sell, even when my watches become a gold mine. Only fun to know it. For people who set all to get such a watch it’s hard to notice they can not buy the watch anymore.
I told you i think a lot this morning of the Cartier Santos.
For example the normal time only in steel, the price is just as usual.
My advice to the people, buy only the watch that keep the price, forget AP, PP, Rolex.
Heureka! I actually got it now!
My first Omega. And I love it! A big thank you to all my friends and watch enthusiasts here on WatchProSite who encouraged me to acquire this Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer. As I already wrote in my previous thread this watch really stands out to m...
I wonder if anyone has been to both South Georgia . . .
. . . and Noumea. If not, perhaps you'll have the distinction of owning the first GMT to travel to every location on the dial I can think of no grander horological bucket list. ...
Thanks a lot, Art. 😊🙏
I will make my travels. And I think I will start with ALASKA. 😁
Thanks a lot, mon ami!
I know, your taste is more towards white metal, which I usually prefer, too. But here I like to make an exception (like with the BP FF). The color combination of dial and case has really charm.
It’s a great-looking watch.
As nice a World Timer as I have seen. Maybe a little big height-wise. Which might not matter given its diameter. Congratulations on getting this one.
Thanks a lot.
And you are right. This watch has a certain height and presence. But I appreciate and prefer this to a flat watch case. This watch for sure exudes a certain robustness (which it actually in reality). I definitely appreciate that when traveling. And the ov...
Thanks a lot, Thomas_3!
I also have looked at almost all alternatives (some only on the Internet, some also live). And the comparison made me sure. It's definitely the best watch for my needs.
Thank you so much!
Due to the COVID-restrictions in Austria but also my immense workload at the moment, it will remain imaginary trips for the time being. But hopefully that will change soon. Which is already certain: I have to smile every time I look at this … magical worl...
Congratulations …
Good looking watch from Omega. It would be interesting to hear how you get on with this one in the future. Enjoy !
Yes, you are right regarding the weight.
And the solid gold folding clasp doesn't make the “overall work of art” any lighter either. But it also makes a significant contribution to wearing comfort. The watch sits really very comfortable on the wrist! ...
The “sandwich concept” [(c) MTR ☺️]
of strap and folding clasp is also quite interesting and increases the wearing comfort. Do you know if this is a standard concept at Omega? ...
I believe a folding buckle they use on several model indeed. My old SpeedMaster had it (a steel version though) and i remember it being super comfortable!
Wear your watch in good health! Quite a piece!
Interesting to know.
I have never seen a version like this where the folding clasp lies between the two parts of the strap. Thanks a lot for this information! And for you nice wishes!! 🙏☺️
Thank you, dear orahu, for your kind reply!
It was a pleasure to post my experiences and share my joy. 😊🙏
If I remember correctly, this is our first OMeGa....and what a heavyweight!
I was tempted by the nice centerpiece too, but the S/S version, only a little not confident on the watch size on my wrist. Looks great on you....Big Congratulations.
Thanks a lot, dear Raymond, for your very kind, heartfelt reply!
You should gain confidence and be brave: just try this watch again. I think it's a great offer from Omega. Cheers Thomas P.S.: OMeGa…. Hahahahaha. Excellent! P.P.S.: I stored your post “I asked a friend” in my smartphone and send it to my family and frien...
W&W is around the corner so shall wait and see what may be another distraction...
steering away this AT Worldtime beauty. I'm speechless, and humbled by your kind words. Thank you. Enjoy this nice hobby, hope you travel the world safely, happily with love ones, and of course, this watch. Cheers!
Excellent how it turned out for you..
That’s really good service. Fits your eclectic collection quite well! Enjoy! 🙂
Thanks a lot, Ecchi!
Yes, the service was definitely good. Thank you also for the attribute “eclectic”. ☺️ As a small watch collector, I definitely count myself among the “omnivores”, because I really consume a wide variety of types and styles of watches (and brands). I don't...
Hehe. The reply alone reinforces the enthusiasm and integrity behind your choices..
And it’s always a good day when we figure out what we REALLY want.. which is what we see with this WT, your MR, etc. It’s inspiring really. Makes me question my choices, like what am i doing hankering for a sub? Hahaha! Seriously, i like the sub in spite ...
You are too kind! And so right!
For me it’s quite simple. VERY simple. Too simple? I just can't get enough satisfaction from just owning something that others badly want but can't easily get. In this case for my happiness I would always need others who admire or envy me. And if they wou...
A quick reply from my side
The rest follow this week. Enjoy your honeymoon. What a great joy that world timer can give is countless. I thought about the one i want this morning, a wt in stainless steel, Sedna is to expensive. Not the only one, a Cartier Santos is keeping me busy. I...
I am looking forward to the “rest”! 😊
Your journey is very interesting for me and I am really curious how you will decide. The emotional criterion is for sure the best one to make your personal decision. The Omega WT is not a limited edition. So there is no pressure and you can keep your time...

Well, the development of some watch prices
(especially on the gray market) reminds me of the development of share prices where the share value mostly has nothing to do with the actual intrinsic value of a company. I wouldn't go so far in saying only buy watches that hold their value. I would say: ...
Completely agree.
It SHOULD be the only one. If it would always be so, many strange and also repulsive developments on the watch market would not take place at all.
Usually not yellow,red,sedna,pink gold fan but this dial and case are amazing together.
Wish I had the wrist size to pull this one off but a little to large. The stainless version is pretty incredible as well in the flesh... Thanks for sharing and enjoy! -D-
Thank you for your nice comment, dkaleal!
I am or some more on the white metal site but in this case I had to make an exception. The whole color combination is mesmerizing. And yes, the steel version - especially with the steel bracelet - is also stunner. Have a nice day Thomas ...
Thanks a lot, myles721!
I really enjoy this piece. It has a nice wrist presence and also works very well for business. Please forgive the photo quality. The wrist shots we’re taken in a hurry between two meetings. Cheers Thomas ...
Merci, mon ami! 😊
It’s a watch that‘s easy to wear. But not as easy to photograph. In particular, the destinations written in very fine writing are difficult to capture sharply. ...
I love it too!
Really impressed by Omega with this WT, and with many of their new models, including the speedy and aqua terra 41. Enjoy!
Thanks a lot, KCLQMULKU (I hope, I wrote your name rigft :-))
I am still wearing it (honeymoon phase is going on) and am also still impressed, too. Accuracy so far: +2 sec / day, which is not extremely good (my IWC Da Vinci PC Rattrapamte is about +1 sec/ day, my Blancpain FF seems to rununbelievable +/- 0,00 sec pe...
+2 secs per day is excellent!
COSC certified watches have a criteria of -4/+6 per day; METAS criteria has a 0/+5 secs per day. When comparing a Seiko 5 which has -35/+45 secs per day, to a Daytona with -2/+2 secs per day, and a Grand Seiko Spring Drive with +/-1 sec per day. 😆 (all cu...
You are right. These are really good results. 👍
And as you mentioned this WT is a MASTER CHRONOMETER and has two certifications: METAS and COSC. Anyhow in the meantime I have become more relaxed when it comes to accuracy. For a long time I had been a real “accuracy freak”. It was extremely important to...
