Speedy or Aqua Terra

[fraser3710]

I'm still fairly new to the rep game and my first m2m purchase was a PO which I absolutely adore.
I thought long and hard about my next watch and because of my big wrist I went for a 48mm IWC big pilot. It looks ok but it has made me realise that I'm definitely an Omega guy.
So, the question is - with a larger wrist , would you go for a Speedy or Aqua Terra? Which watch sits better on a larger wrist?
I realise that it is a personal preference, but I'm interested to hear anyone's opinion on the matter.

The Speedies are smaller than the Aqua Terras

Yep ATs wear much bigger than a speedy. The small bezel helps.

For what it's worth: Neither Speedmaster nor Aqua Terra can be considered as really good reps, maybe you want to look for a Seamaster instead.

Why do you think ATs are not good reps ?
I think it really depends which AT we're talking about. The ones from Basel 2017. are not so good but older ones are really OK.
I have 231.12.42.21.01.002 (orange seconds hand) model with Miyota movement. It very well made and movement decoration is good.
I also have 231.10.42.21.03.001 (Skyfall blue but 41.5mm) with swiss ETA. Apart from the fact that moevement is not properly decorated (can't be, because of ETA), rest of the watch is really good.

Hi Matty369. Does the blue dial on your aqua terra rep have a metallic shine like the gen? I looked at the video's of one on puretime03 com/aqua-terra-41mm-ss-blue-textured-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a2824.html" but can it only looks blue not metallic. Where did you get your rep? Thanks.

I would say aqua terra. Since it seems like there is no good speedmaster rep that I have seen yet. I might be wrong but so far speed master are quite easy to catch.

Concur with Omegz. The Aqua Terra is a solid rep, but the speedmaster remains noticeably off from the gen.

Is the 38.5mm Aqua Terra the same shade of blue as that 41.5? On TD sites the 38 looks brighter.

Aqua terra reps are very good in my opinion-heres mine not looking out of place in gen company!

Where did you purchase your Aqua Terra? How much did that run you?

 

[sishac]

Go for an older Omega Railmaster XL which is manual wind, relatively accurate and I think 50mm.
