Remember when this thread was about the watch and not about the box? Gen or rep box, why does it matter? It may be a super clone Omega box for all we know. And are you gonna be wearing the watch and lugging the huge Omega wooden box around with you everytime? Seriously, there is this thing called private message if you still insist on inquiring about the box.

Now back to the Aqua Terra!

This thread needs more photos of the watch! Black, blue, white... Post and share them!

This whole conversation about the box is the epitomy of rwi's obnoxious ass unhelpful members.

The guy asks you 3 simple questions and you barely answer one of them in a reply where you actually quote his 3 questions......

if you'd just answer or reply in a normal manner, then this convo wouldn't have lasted so long.

Anyone have shots of the blue dial in outdoors to show the sunburst effect?

This is a pic of the rep?

No that's the gen, rep dial looks nothing like that.

I had the blue one also,which i wanted to keep tbh... its very hard to get a good shot of it, the pictures never seem to do the dial any justice


here a link to a little video where i tried to capture the effect of the dial under light

Ac777 the lighting they use in those photo tents plays havoc with the dial.. you need to see it in natural light.. its stunning

Is the blue dial AT the gen or rep?

 

[zlataroni]

The width of the band is 20mm, right?

Yes the 41.5 is 20mm lug. The 38.5 is 19mm.

This one pictured from RepPossessed is the rep. Very very close isn't it? The shade of blue is just slightly different but only noticeable if you have the gen beside it. When it's on it's own like this, very hard to tell.

I had just ordered the blue dial a few days ago but now am having second thoughts while reading this thread. Lots of people saying that the dial on the rep is way darker than the gen and it looks like the rep sunburst effect isn't as bright.
Even though I love the gen blue dial to bits and lack a blue dial watch in my collection, should I opt for a black dial instead?

As an owner of the blue gen, I would say that the rep of the blue is spot on. Very close but not obvious. This is still a better looking dial and blue then the previous AT reps from before. Since you need a blue, i'd say go for it. Can't go wrong with black, but blue is pretty unique and stunning.

I have the blue gen so if someone in CONUS wants to they can send me the rep, I'll take numerous side-by-side pictures in several lighting conditions and send the rep back to you same day.

More pics for the thread and a question for you guys. There's a smudge or something on my dial between the 4 & 5 hour markers. Extremely hard to notice unless you're staring at the watch (as we do) from a few inches in just the right lighting conditions. I've never disassembled a watch. Is this something I could clean myself or should I have a watchsmith handle it?

It's not so bad. Doesn't look so obvious in the pictures. I actually wouldn't have noticed anything if you didn't mention it. All I see is a great looking black AT rep!

imranbecks can you comment on the quality of AR on your gen? Looks to me like the VSF needs Prof or similar 2AR for the gen invisible crystal look.

EDIT: Just saw your gen's pics posted a few pages previously. Has some glare in some angles therefore the VSF IMO is close enough though not the same (obviously).

 

[ICYUNV]

I don't own a gen to directly compare but at certain angles the VSF crystal disappears. It looks pretty damn good in person, pictures do it no justice.

 

[phdsjain]

ICYUNVThanks for sharing! Looks perfect in these pictures! Think I will go ahead and order the blue dial this weekend after I sell my VSF Spectre.

Mine's been cleared on Heathrow today, here's hoping for a Monday or Tuesday delivery. Fingers crossed for no problems with customs.

 

[Ac777]

A friend of mine is bringing it with him for me. I'll get better pictures on Monday
