Hi again,

Im looking for omega seamaster aqua terra in silver or white (with blue) dial. I have been looking at many dealers but cannot seem to find one that is close to the genuine dial colours. For example, does this seem accurate?

Can anyone recommend which models look the best?
Thanks so much for your help!

Arn't we all?
One of the sexyist watches ever made and ya just can't get a decent rep! Problem is the MVT, there has been no clone made up untill very recently. Keep your eyes peeled as the co-axial MVT has now been cloned (wel, a MVT with the corect dial spacing is avalable anyway) and this is aperantly on the list to be done along with the Speedy.

Thx for the reply.
If movement was not an issue though, do you know which has the most accurate dial? Ive heard that the models with swiss movements are less accurate (in terms of the dial) than the cheaper asian movement models. Is this true?

None of the dials are acurate because the dial spacing is wrong due to the lack of the co-axial MVT. The subdials are spaced too far apart. The most acurate dial would be found on a quartz rep if such an animal exists.

The A21J equiped models may indeeed have the corect spacing but the sub dials will be faux (fake) and not work. They will prob be marked as a calender instead of the corect sec, min and hours as well. The running seconds on the 21J and the quartz will be on the main sec hand instead of the sub seconds dial where they should be.

Sorry for the confusion, but I am not talking about the chronograph models. Check the links on my first post. Thanks for your replies though!

Was there ever an Aqua Terra with a silver dial and blue markers/hands? I've always thought that particular combo was a "fantasy" watch.
