I ordered both AT & AT GMT from vsf & they both just showed up. I have not had a chance to take pics yet, but I can confirm that both are the same case size @ 41.5. Honestly, they are both beautiful watches even if the case size is wrong on the gmt

I got my GMT today from Sead, flawless transaction as always. The watch is simply stunning. Clear crystal, no single dust on the dial, winds butter smooth, good overall finish on the case and bracelet, movement beautiful. I think it is up to par with the genuine in quality. Just the size is an issue for my brain.

Looks gorgeous! I can't spot a single flaw on it

That we know and it bothers me quite a bit :) Bad bad VSF, shitting on our cerials!

Looks great. Could you share a wristie please. I am actually thinking the size would suit a lot of people with smaller wrists like myself

The rep is smaller by just 1.5mm. Is it really that noticeable? Even if it's side by side with the gen, the 1.5mm size difference is probably not even gonna be obvious...

I have the new VSF AquaTerra GMT and I like it. The product itself is pretty amazingly good.

However, there is a noticeable difference between the 43mm case and 41.5mm case in terms of visual and feeling after seeing them in person and wearing the genuine Aqua Aqua Terra GMT and non-GMT same time at the Omega Boutique.

Sorry mate I have packed it already and did not even resize the bracelet since I chose to sell it before I even received it.

Interesting. Maybe I will go to the boutique one of these days to see the GMT if it's available and take a look at it side by side with my non GMT AT.

I visited to 5 different Omega boutiques to find the 43mm Aqua Terra GMT and finally found at the last reachable location which is already far away distance from my home.

By the way, according to the Omega boutiques, also 41.5mm vertical teak dial Aqua Terra models already became one of their previous generation models. So, not many products are remained at the moment.

The current generation of Aqua Terra models have the horizontal teak textured dial.

I can’t say that I’m a fan of the colours in the latest range, the blues look a bit more muddy but I guess the grey and orange looks pretty nice. Didn’t the range before the last horizontal lines?

I feel same as you. I like the grey and orange look pretty nice on the horizontal teak models. by the way, what does it mean “Didn’t the range before the last horizontal lines?” ?

A little update. I’ve been running an experiment for the last 10 days. I usually don’t leave my watches on my winder but I left one of my GMT’s with the new movement on it. While keeping an eye on it the watch has been accurate to within a minute over that period. I put it on the timegrapher today and it’s was showing an amplitude of 280-282 and a rate of -1 to -4.
Very satisfied so far

marco130 I agree with you regarding the movement and like it alot, have regulated mine to +2 secs/day and it keeps that also, no matter on wrist or on desk over night.
To me it's one of the first rep GMT movements that I think have the capability to last and work great over time.
Will be sending mine to a modder soon for him to evaluate/service the movement and to see what weakness the movement may have.
