Looks great to me, but to each his own... I wouldn’t want black text lol. Looks so good with all matching blue.

Got to agree, that watch looks great. Black text would actually look odd and wouldn’t make a lot of sense aesthetically. Omega’s special Ed’s are usually very matchy-matchy.

Okay since this is requested then I'll post the pics here.

would you mind sharing one of your QC pics from the caseback? I have ordered the same watch and on my QC it seems that they changed the printing on the xtal from gold to black. I just want to see if its a watch problem or if the new batch is like this.
Thanks

Its allright TD just confirmed its gold and it was just the light playing a trick on me.

Is an amplitude of 255 for this 8900 rep acceptable?

Before you panic, consider there’s a good chance the watch isn’t fully wound. You can always ask your TD to give it a good wind and then send another pic.

Yeah, that's acceptable. It also might be a bit higher in real life, since they usually don't wind them all the way when they put it on the timegrapher. A fully wound watch has a higher amplitude than a barely wound one.

I think it should be regulated. the escapement should not be affected by a charge difference. it is the spiral that moves little and can be adjusted. imho. i'm not a watchmaker...

As requested. To me it seemed black.

So I received my Aqua Terra today and it doesn’t work. I can wind it as much as possible, but nothing happens. I looked into the display case back and it seems the mainspring is not working properly. Any suggestions?

You will need to contact your TD and arrange for return shipping and repair.

A service could fix this. Tell your TD about this problem and send a video with it. Offer him that you could send it to a local watchmaker to fix it and you should be able to figure out a satisfying solution about the costs.
