I got my watch yesterday and I need to say that the blue font has exactly the same shade as the markers. The markers appear in different shades of blue depending the angle and light but their main color is the same as the print.

Thanks for the info! I thought they looked the same :)

I got my Aqua Terra a few weeks ago.

It seems that the hour hand is not moving in sync with the minutes hand :(
For example when I set time to 9:00, I put minute hand to 12 and hour hand to 9.
After a few hours at 15:00 minute hand would be at 12 while hour hand is still between 2 and 3.

What I also noticed compared to my older Aqua Terra 8500 rep:
When the crown is in the hour hand adjustment position I can set the hour hand freely to where I want, so I could possibly set the hour hand to 9:30 while the minute hand is at 12.
While in the old Aqua Terra the hour hand would jump from hour to hour and it would not be possible to set it to 9:30 when the minute hand is at 12. It would only jump from 9 to 10 to 11 and so on.

Anybody know what could be wrong?

there are cases in which the Omega writings (which are in relief) come off?

I've received my dark blue version with the SS and Rubber strap. This watch looks stunning. What a great watch for a first timer. Interesting tell is that it has a regulator on the balance wheel which the GEN doesn't

I'm undecided whether to accept a blue AT. It's perfect on alignment but has some flaws that makes me think: 1) the minute arrow looks bad, you can see too much the sign of the metalwork. I'm afraid it's also slightly visible on the wrist. The minute arrow always has the inner part (the one where there is no lamp) which is not perfectly centered on the arrow. 2) the second hand, opposite the arrow, has a mark on the metal like a scratch. From the QC photos of others in the forum I hardly ever saw these flaws.

Even the white dial has a little flaw compare to gen. The deeper horizontal stripes have not the proper position

Anyone get the AT 15007 Spectre with the yellow second hand?? I’d really like to see some pictures. Can’t find any info on it.

That's odd. I was of the impression that you had to be a supporter to be able to put up ads in the m2m section

only for HVS or multiple watches on a single thread, and there is a post limit I believe.

Got my AT today and [mention]Cloney [/mention]was right....I do not regret it! Gorgeous watch. Comes with two bands as well, both are fantastic. This watch is NWBIG in my opinion. Superb rep.
